Twin Shell Blender

Principles of Twin Shell Blender:

• The twin shell blender operates on the principle of diffusive blending, utilizing the tumbling motion to mix materials.

Construction of Twin Shell Blender:

• Vessel: Two cylindrical sections joined at an angle to form a V-shape.
• Drive System: Includes a motor and gearbox for rotation.
• Support Frame: Holds the vessel securely.
• Loading and Unloading Ports: For adding and removing materials.
• Optional Intensifier Bars: To enhance mixing of difficult-to-blend materials.
  • • • 

Working:

• Materials are loaded into the V-shaped vessel.
• The vessel rotates, causing materials to tumble and cascade within the two arms of the V.
• The repetitive movement leads to thorough blending of the materials.
• After achieving the desired blend, the contents are discharged.

Uses:

• Pharmaceuticals: Blending powders and granules.
• Food Industry: Mixing dry ingredients.
• Chemical Industry: Blending fine chemicals and powdered materials.

Merits:

• Efficient for free-flowing and dry materials.
• Simple and effective design.
• Gentle mixing action, preserving particle size and shape.
• Easy to clean and maintain.

Demerits:

• Inefficient for cohesive or sticky materials.
• Limited to batch processing.
• Not suitable for large-scale production due to volume constraints.
