54 / January 2020 powderbulk.com Blender's augers produce a dissimilar parallel motion for homogenous mixing Model 350 versatile, multipurpose, continuous blender provides high-efficiency mixing of dry solids. Blender's dual concentric augers impart action to the continuously metered material in a dissimilar par- allel motion by operating each auger at a different speed, which gently produces a homogeneous blend. Blender's retention time is minimal, and the final output is smooth and consistent. Acrison, Moonachie, NJ 201-440-8300 www.acrison.com Ribbon blender includes bag-dump station with dust collection Ribbon blender with bag-dump station allows ingredient additions without dust while blending up to 85 cubic feet of powders, pastes, or slurries. Blend- er's 2-to-1 length-to-diameter ratio allows the blender to rapidly blend ingre- dients with dissimilar properties and distributes them uniformly during loading, blending, and discharge. Blender has a split double-helical agitator that pushes through stationary material in a U-shaped vessel at 30 rpm, which typically produces homogeneous blends in 5 to 6 minutes. Blender's integral bag-dump station is mounted on top and includes a dust hood with cartridge filter for dust collection. Munson Machinery, Utica, NY 800-944-6644 www.munsonmachinery.com Mixer features flexible mixing chamber to prevent buildup MAP WBH batch-type horizontal single-shaft mixer mixes dry powders, granules, or short fibers and can be used for moistening, agglomerating, or granulating. Mixer's injection wands with nozzles for adding liquid ingredients are located above the chopper or agitation mechanism. Mixer's mixing tools have a particular shape, position, and rotation speed to create a centrifugal vortex motion, which allows the materials to be projected in a three-dimensional way and merge with each other.
