The concept is simple. The same Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) that is used for shipping and storage is also used for blending or mixing.
• Total product containment
• No cleaning is required on the blender. The IBC is cleaned off-line
• No cross-contamination
• Fast blending
• Less ingredient segregation
• Increased process flexibility
• Often referred to as IBC Bin Blender or IBC Tumble Blender

How It Works
Tumble blending is a dual-action blending principle. The first blending action is produced by a wave as the material is tumbled. This wave (or shear plane) occurs in the top ¼ of the product load. The second blending action is produced by the cradle orientation. The IBC is held in the blender at an angle to position the IBC horizontal center of gravity 20° from the Blender tumbling centerline. This geometry places the IBC shell walls at cross flow producing angles to the blend axis, acting as baffles as the product is tumbled.
IBC Blender Benefits
Dry powder blending is simplified when you use IBC blending that reduces blend times and requires no between batch cleanups. Since products contact only the IBC, you benefit from total product containment, immediate product changeover and zero blender cleaning. You also eliminate airborne and cross-contamination, product segregation and spillage risks.
Overview of IBC Blending Benefits:
- Total product containment
- Reduced risk of segregation
- No down time for blender cleaning
- Increased process flexibility
- Conducive to automation
- Reduced blend times compared to other blender types
Key Features
- Offsetting the IBC in the blender frame between 20 and 30 degrees causes the powder to change the direction of flow 6 times for every rotation improving both the blending time and consistency.
- No blender clean up required between various recipes
- Low idle time between batches provides increased production
- Pre-batched bins of products quickly loaded into the blender is a great benefit.
