Designed for laboratory testing, pilot plants or low volume blending of dry powders and granular materials.

A new 1 ft3 Vee Cone Blender from Munson Machinery achieves uniform blends of dry bulk solids typically in 15 to 30 min, with little or no product degradation.

Suitable for laboratory testing, pilot plants or low volume blending of dry powders and granular materials, the unit delivers equal homogeneity at fill volumes from 100% to 25% of rated capacity.

Smooth internal surfaces free of baffles, shafts and bearings, allow complete discharge through a 6 in. hand-wheel-operated butterfly valve, eliminating material waste. Access to internal surfaces through the discharge valve and twin doors at the ends of the inclined cylinders permits thorough sanitizing in minutes, preventing cross contamination.

Driven by a 1-hp wash-down motor, the Vee Cone chamber rotates at up to 30 RPM, imparting a tumbling action that is more gentle and consumes less energy than ribbon blenders and other agitated machines in which blades, paddles or plows are forced through stationary material.

A safety-interlocked polycarbonate housing protects operators from the rotating vessel.

An optional intensifier bar can break up soft agglomerates, and be equipped with spray ports to distribute liquid additions throughout the batch.
