Tumble Blender Features cGMP Design
February 26, 2015
This blender consists of two major assemblies; the pedestal base and the cradle. The IBC is clamped top to bottom by the cradle. The blender is a cGMP design with the pedestal base concealed with cladding. Tumble blending is a dual-action blending principle. The first blending action is produced by a wave action as the material is tumbled. This wave (or shear plane) occurs in the top ¼ of the product load. The second blending action is produced by the cradle orientation. The IBC is held in the blender at an angle which positions the IBC horizontal center of gravity 20° from the blender tumbling centerline. This geometry places the IBC shell walls at cross flow, producing angles in relation to the blend axis and provides a baffling action while the product is tumbled.
