Double Cone Blender

A Double Cone Blender is a type of industrial mixing equipment designed for blending dry powders, granules, and free-flowing solids to create homogeneous mixtures. It features a rotating vessel shaped like two cones joined at their bases with a central cylindrical section, which tumbles materials gently via diffusion and cascading action as it rotates on a horizontal axis. This low-shear process minimizes damage to fragile or abrasive materials, making it suitable for applications in pharmaceuticals, food processing, chemicals, cosmetics, ceramics, and more.

Key Design and Operation Features

• Structure: The blender body consists of two conical sections welded to a cylindrical middle, with hermetically sealed apertures for loading, cleaning, and discharge. It rotates perpendicular to the cone axis, promoting even particle distribution without internal baffles in some models.

• Mixing Mechanism: Materials are loaded to about 65% capacity, then tumbled end-over-end, creating waves and cross-mixing. Optional intensifier bars or deflector plates break agglomerates, and spray nozzles can add liquids evenly.

• Capacity and Scalability: Available from lab-scale (0.25 cu.ft.) to production sizes, handling bulk densities from light powders to dense materials like tungsten carbide.

• Customizations: Options include stainless steel construction, heating/cooling jackets, vacuum drying, sanitary finishes, explosion-proof motors, and PLC controls for precision.

Advantages Over Similar Blenders (e.g., V-Blenders)

• Better for materials with varying particle sizes or densities due to enhanced axial and radial mixing.

• Easier complete discharge and cleaning, with lower headroom requirements in some designs.

• Higher loading capacity compared to V-blenders.

Mixing times typically range from 5-20 minutes, depending on the batch, and the equipment emphasizes safety with railings, limit switches, and optional automation.

Application of Double Cone Blender

Blenders & Mixers are uses for mixing, lubricating and blending in Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, Food, Chemical, cosmetics, ceramics, pesticide, plastics an dallied industries.

Process Operation of Double Cone Blender

The Double shape blenders have long two corner of product container for more rubbing and tumbler effect to the material for fast and homogenizing mixing. It can perform homogenously dry mixing of free-flowing powders, granules requiring low shearing force, Mixing and Blending of particles with rapid intermixing of particles irrespective of varying specific gravities. The material is loaded into the double cone blender drum. The double blender is tumbles the material in the container and spread out. The mixing is achieved in 5 to 15 minutes with better homogeneity.
