Single Plinth or Double Plinth?

Self Loading

The product is brought to the blender in a drum. The drum and V-shell are inverted through 180°, the powder is then able to fall into the V-Shell under gravity. The drum is removed before blending.

V-Shell Shape

Pharmatech can manufacture V-Shells to any specification, the most usual
shapes are Symmetrical or Asymmetrical. The outlet cone usually has a 60° angle to assist discharge
