A new Cylindrical Plow Blender from Munson Machinery provides rapid fluidized blending of fibrous, interlocking, dense or moist/oily bulk materials in batches up to 70 cu ft (2 m3) with greater intensity and speed than standard ribbon and paddle blenders.
Model HB-48-SSCYL consists of a cylindrical mixing vessel with a solid agitator shaft and wedge-shaped plow blades that rotate roughly four-times faster than agitators of trough-style ribbon, paddle or plow blenders. Airborne material fills the entire vessel, providing rapid and uniform distribution of materials throughout the batch in the ppm range regardless of particle sizes, shapes or bulk densities.
When equipped with optional injection ports, the unit can also distribute liquid additions throughout the batch more rapidly than standard trough-style machines.
Constructed of #304 stainless steel with a 150HP (110.3 kW) gear motor drive, the unit is configured with nine charging ports, three side access doors, two discharge ports, and automated controls.
Available options include sanitary design and construction, high-speed choppers, and ASME certified jackets.
Other Munson equipment for dry bulk blending with or without liquid additions includes Rotary Batch Tumble Mixers, Ribbon/Paddle/Plow Blenders, Vee-cone Blenders, Continuous Rotary Blenders, Variable Intensity Blenders, and Fluidized Bed Mixers. Size reduction equipment produced by the company includes Screen Classifying Cutters, Centrifugal Impact Mills, Lump Breakers, Shredders, Attrition Mills, Knife Cutters and Hammer Mills.
