Powder and Solids Blenders

Powder and solids blenders produce a uniform mixture of dry or powdery materials. They are designed for industrial and laboratory environments, and provide either batch or continuous blending. Industrial blenders are durable, heavy-duty devices designed for production runs. Laboratory blenders are used to mix, emulsify, homogenize, disintegrate and dissolve samples. With both types of powder and solids blenders, mode of operation is an important specification to consider. Batch blenders use a simple blending method. The blender is filled, the medium is mixed, and the contents are emptied for downstream processing. With continuous-feed blenders, the medium is added continuously, and mixed fluid is continuously removed. Most continuous blenders can run for long periods of time between shutdowns.
