THE ROTARY DRUM BLENDER

Technology: Unique Mixing blades fully welded to the rotating drum completely fluidise the mixture with every revolution, the combination of low speed and no moving parts within the mixer produce a no shear, gentle mixing action particularly suited to delicate and abrasive materials alike. This design creates the 'ideal' gentle blender.

Applications: Traditionally used as a Tea Blender, other Rotary Drum Mixer applications include coffee granules, metal powders and spray coated fish food

Sizes: Available in 15 Standard sizes from 50 L to 25,000 L,
non standard and continuous versions are also produced to match your specification

The following features make the Rotary Drum Blender a highly efficient mixer and simple to operate:

1. Quick Mixing: Short length to diameter ratio for quicker end to end mixing.
2. Gentle Mixing: The contra flow blades lift and quickly transfer the fluidised product around the mixer, under these conditions powders and granules of widely different bulk densities and particle size can move freely ensuring a rapid and gentle mix.
3. Low power: Low rotational drum speed and the minimum number of mixing blades combined with no moving parts in the mixer product provide ideal conditions to gently mix flakes or highly abrasive products with minimum wear. This also provides for low maintenance and operating costs.
4. Complete discharge: All the fluidised contents are discharged via the combined inlet and outlet this also provides low headroom inline filling and emptying via the simple flap valve and single rotating seal.
5. Safety and easy to clean: The totally enclosed mixing drum is easily inspected or cleaned via a large access door fitted with a code key interlock.
6. Batch or continuous sizes ranging from laboratory to large mass production units.
7. Hygienic design of all mixing blades, inlet / outlet chutes and internal surfaces eliminate any corners for material to adhere to.
8. Low Costs The efficient mixing blade design combined with no drive parts or bearings being exposed to the product results in minimum power requirements and maintenance free operation for long periods of continuous running.
