Multiblend
Comparison of Blending Process
Typically Powder Blenders have been built in the past with the blending vessel permanently attached to the drive system. Large savings can be made by modifying the machine to allow the blending vessels to be detachable from the drive unit – The Multiblend Principle.
- It allows the use of the same vessel for transfer of materials between process stages as well as acting as the blending vessel itself. Resulting in fewer vessels being used and subsequent savings in capital, cleaning and maintenance
- The use of dedicated powder dispensing areas for the loading of the vessel results in less environmental contamination
- No in-situ product transfers for charging and discharging the blending vessel leading to less environmental
- Reduced cleaning of the blending area as no product is released during machine loading and unloading
- Blending vessels can be washed and dried in dedicated washing facilities rather than in the blending area
- A single drive unit can be used for a range of vessel sizes and a variety of shapes
- Far greater productivity as the blend time per batch on the drive unit is considerably reduced
