Used in food processing, the Munson Model HIM-124-S316 sanitary continuous blender provides low to high shear for blending and/or homogenizing dry solids, agglomerates, slurries or pastes. The unit’s horizontal, cylindrical vessel has a rotating agitator supported by externally mounted bearings with sanitary-type seals; agitator speeds range from 100 to 2,500 rpm. Constructed of 316 stainless steel and finished to USDA requirements, the unit produces homogeneous blends in as little as 20-sec. residence time, depending on material characteristics, at throughput rates up to 200 cu. ft./hr. Optional gear drives are available for reduced-speed, high-torque applications.
