ENGINEERING AND PROCESSING OF POWDERED PRODUCTS

Blenders for solid products

Micron Proces has the whole range of blenders for solid products, in discontinuous and continuous, designed for the mixing of powders and additions of liquids. Units conceived to be employed at all the sectors (nourishment, drugstore, cosmetics, minerals, fodder, etc.). Depending on the products to treating, and their bulk densities, the type of blender is selected, as well as the proportions to mixing and the degree of cleanliness for every change of product.

CONICAL BLENDER
CONICAL BLENDER
The conical blenders are composed basically by a conical base and an endless screw that takes charge of the rotation and the adjournment of the product. The above mentioned endless screw rotates on itself and this acts as vertical transport of the product. The consumption of energy of this type of blenders is reduced due to the fact that the particles that have been raised by the endless screw fall down towards the bottom of the blender to be raised and transported again. The time of mixture of the conical blenders use to have an average 10-15 minutes. The advantages that we find in the conical blenders are the following ones: Soft mechanical treatment, ideal for handling solid, granulated or products sensitive to the heat, since the increase of temperature is minimal. It is possible to realize a complete unload without there stay remains of the treated product. Ideal blender for processing small lots and with mixture proportions of 1:5000 parts. Due to the low speed of the elements of mixture, the wear of these is minimal, for what its maintenance is only of oil and fat for the transmission.

The high turbulence blenders are made up of a cylinder, placed horizontally, and a longitudinal axle with plough shovels which provoke the agitation of the particles. We can install high speed agitators, which can be mounted perpendicularly to the body and produce a cutting effect capable of breaking agglomerates.

HORIZONTAL BLENDER

MB HORIZONTAL BLENDER
The horizontal blenders of Micron Proces work being based on a flow of currents that go from the ends to the center of the blender and vice versa. The spirals are connected to the axle so that it provokes the horizontal intermingle of the product. This mixing axle is supported by means of external bearings. To obtain a closed-and-sealed system with the body of the blender we can use stuffing-box or bearings that depending on the product to handle can be pressurized by air. The horizontal blender is the most used for any type of products in powder. It is easy to find it in industries of minerals, nourishing, chemical and drugstore. The advantages that we find in the conical blenders are the following ones: Its horizontal design allows taking advantage of the space in case of not having height. The discharge is produced by means of a valve placed in the center of the low part facilitating the movement of the axle. The horizontal blender does not treat the product equal of soft the conical blender but it continues without having a degree of considerable temperature.

V-SHAPED BLENDER

V-SHAPED BLENDER
This type of blenders can process products from 1 to 10.000 parts in a time between 3 and 5 minutes. It works taking advantage of the gravity force and it obtains minimal consumptions. A connected axle is the manager of the draft of the body who has two mouths of load and one of unload, supported on benches of support. The own axle is connected to the body of the blender that is driven by means of a gear motor. The principal characteristics of the blenders in "V" are that their interior is smooth, by what the accumulation of product is avoided in the corners and this way a rapid cleanliness is obtained. The principal function of this type of blenders is to homogenize products in powder and even with incorporation of some liquid element. They are perfect to process small quantities of product, due to the fact that the rotary system of mixture is realized rapidly and simply. There exists the possibility of installing an intensifier bars with pins or hammers inside the blender. And its operation is carried out by an engine at 1500 - 3000 r.p.m. depending on the model of the blender. The execution of these equipments can be of carbon steel or stainless steel AISI-304 mirror polished interior and exterior.

BICONICAL BLENDER

BICONICAL BLENDER

These blenders are formed by two linked to each other cones by means of a cylindrical ferrule. In this ferrule we find the axles of the machine welded to the body by means of brackets, which provokes a perfect alignment. They are also formed by a hermetic and rapid closing lid for load of materials and a discharge opening with a butterfly valve placed in the end of the group. This provokes a perfect tight of the machine. The useful capacity of the Biconical blender is 65 % of its total volume. The time of mixture ranges between 10 and 20 minutes at the maximum. This type of blenders is ideal when the products to be mixed are of a fineness and density not very unlike and difficultly to get lumpy. Also we have the possibility of installing this type of blender automating the load and unload automatically by means of pneumatic closings as well as double chamber to use it as dryer. The Biconical blenders are conceived to be employed especially at pharmaceutical and nourishing industries. Due to its functionality in cleanliness and speeds this type of machine is used in processes where very precise cleanlinesss are needed for the changes of products. It also allows to install an intensifier unit inside the machine for delumping the products during the period of dried or to mix homogeneously products in powder.
