The Munson cylindrical plow blender with a feed hopper and intensifiers handles dry, fibrous, dense, interlocking, or moist/oily bulk materials in batches up to 40 cu ft (1.13 m3).
A high-strength agitator shaft with radial arms rotates wedge blades at high speed within tight tolerance of a heavy-gauge vessel, creating a fluidizing action that keeps the material in constant motion, regardless of particle size, shape, or density, imparting the required energy to achieve uniform blends. Two independently powered, high-speed tulip-shaped intensifiers produce any shear necessary to assist with dispersion.
The unit achieves batch uniformity in ratios to one part per thousand, blends faster than trough-style horizontal mixers, and handles a greater variety of materials, including thinner pastes. Constructed of 304 or 316 stainless steel and finished to sanitary standards, it is suitable for food, pharmaceutical, or other applications in which clean-out is important to avoid cross-contamination.
The blender is equipped as standard with dual access doors on the side, a bottom discharge port, and air purge packing shaft seals. Options include heating or cooling jackets, injection ports for liquid additions, and various discharge and inlet configurations.
