A new Munson Sanitary Vee-Cone Blender with internal spray line, Model VB-60-SSIS, blends dry and granular bulk materials uniformly, with or without liquid additions, in typically 15 to 30 minutes.
Constructed of #304 stainless steel finished to sanitary standards, the 60 cubic foot (1.7 m3) capacity chamber features smooth internal surfaces, allowing unobstructed material flow during blending and total evacuation through a gate valve upon discharge.
The absence of residual material, together with interior access through two quick-release covers, allows rapid sanitizing and visual inspection of all material contact surfaces.
The independently powered spray line/intensifier bar positioned within the inclined cylinders can distribute liquids throughout the batch thoroughly and rapidly, and/or impart shear to break down soft agglomerates, achieving uniform blends at fill volumes from 100% to 50% of rated capacity with equal efficiency, depending on material.
Driven by a 7.5 HP motor and mounted on a rigid steel frame, the cylinders rotate on pillow block bearings at 11 RPM with a swing radius of 56 in. (142 cm).
Other models are offered in capacities from 8 quarts (7.6 liters) to more than 200 cu ft (5663 liters), to USDA, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary or industrial standards.
