Features

Blending Containers

The MB400A can handle any shape of blending container:
– Drums
– IBCs
– Double Cones
– V shells (these are sometimes Vee cones or Y Cones)
– Cubes etc.

Why use a Tilting Blender?

The ability of the MB400A to tilt back ensures:
• A highly efficient asymmetric blending action is achieved
• Minimal Manual Handling – the blending container is lifted from its trolley, blended and then returned to its trolley

Through-Wall or Free-Standing ?

The MB400A, has been designed to either be installed free-standing or through-wall. With a through-wall installation only the container and the front face of the blender are in the processing area, the remainder of the machine is in the service area on the other side of the wall.

A Through-wall installation is especially useful if a machine is to be Ex rated as the majority of the components are in the service area.

A free-standing machine is provided with a stainless steel casing. The through-wall machine does not have a casing but it is provided with a stainless steel fascia plate. The fascia plate is used to cover the gap between the edge of the machine and the wall.
