The new Munson Model VB-60-SSIS sanitary vee-cone blender with internal spray line blends dry and granular bulk materials uniformly, with or without liquid additions, typically in 15 to 30 minutes.

     

Constructed of #304 stainless steel finished to sanitary standards, the 60-cu-ft-capacity chamber features smooth internal surfaces, allowing unobstructed material flow during blending and total evacuation through a gate valve upon discharge.

     

The absence of residual material, together with interior access through two quick-release covers, allows rapid sanitizing and visual inspection of all material contact surfaces.

     

The independently-powered spray line/intensifier bar positioned within the inclined cylinders can distribute liquids throughout the batch thoroughly and rapidly, and/or impart shear to break down soft agglomerates, achieving uniform blends at fill volumes from 100% to 50% of rated capacity with equal efficiency, depending on material.

     

Driven by a 7.5-hp motor and mounted on a rigid steel frame, the cylinders rotate on pillow block bearings at 11 rpm with a swing radius of 56 in.

     

Other models are offered in capacities from 8 quarts to more than 200 cu ft, to USDA, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary or industrial standards.
