Our Solutions

Ribbon Blenders

  • Horizontal mixers with helical ribbons that move materials in opposite directions for efficient blending.
  • Key Features:
    • Ideal for dry powders and granules.
    • Gentle mixing with minimal heat generation.

Paddle Blenders

  • Mixers with paddle-shaped blades for gentle, uniform blending.
  • Key Features:
    • Suitable for fragile or heat-sensitive materials.
    • Handles both dry and semi-wet mixtures.

V-Blenders

  • Description: Cylindrical mixers shaped like a “V,” tumbling materials for
    blending.
  • Key Features:
    • Gravity-based mixing for low-impact blending.
    • Efficient for dry powders and granules.

Fluidized Zone Blenders

  • Use high-speed airflow to create a fluidized state for material blending.
  • Key Features:
    • Suitable for lightweight or fine powders.
    • Rapid blending with minimal mechanical contact.

Continuous Blenders

  • Description: Provide a constant flow of mixed materials in real-time.
  • Key Features:
    • Ideal for high-capacity operations.
    • Integration with feeding and dosing systems.

High-Shear Blenders

  • Use high-speed blades or rotors to create shear forces for blending.
  • Key Features:
    • Breaks down particles during mixing.
    • Suitable for emulsions, suspensions, and viscous materials.

Drum Blenders

  • Rotate drums to tumble materials for blending.
  • Key Features:
    • Simple and cost-effective for bulk materials.
    • Suitable for coarse and dry materials.

Hybrid Blending Systems

  • Combine multiple blending techniques (e.g., mechanical and fluidized)
    for complex needs.
  • Key Features:
    • Versatile for diverse material types.
    • Adjustable blending parameters.

Applications of Blending Systems
