Description

Lab Scale Octagonal Blender is a compact mixing device designed for research and development (R&D) or small-batch production, primarily used in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and cosmetic industries to achieve homogeneous blending of dry powders, granules, or crystalline materials without degrading particle structure. Its octagonal container promotes multi-directional tumbling motion at low speeds, allowing materials to cascade from all sides for efficient, gentle mixing with minimal RPM requirements—typically filling the container to about two-thirds capacity for optimal results.

Working Principle of Lab Scale Octagonal Blender

The Octagonal Blender is an efficient and versatile blending machine for mixing and lubrication process of dry granules homogeneously. Two third of the volume of the Cone Blender is filled to ensure proper mixing. The Octagonal Blender Machine gives best result for granules due to very slow speed and octagonal shape of container. It is uses in application of Pharmaceutical, Food, Chemical and Cosmetic products.

In Octagonal Blender the granules come from all sides due to the octagonal shape of the product container, hence requirement of blender RPM is less. Octagonal blender design suitable mainly for Crystalline & Granular type material. This type of material gets sufficient continuous movement due to their shape if container have only slow movement and will results in good quality of blending / lubrication of granules.

Key Features of Lab Scale Octagonal Blender

Design and Construction: Features an octagonal body with a rectangular central section and polygonal top/bottom frustums, often equipped with baffles for enhanced mixing efficiency. Made from stainless steel for durability, hygiene, and cGMP compliance; includes safety railings, quick-locking mechanisms for easy attachment/detachment, and dust-free operation options.

Capacity: Lab models typically range from 5–10 kg up to 50–300 kg for pilot-scale, suitable for small batches in labs or testing.

Power and Controls: Often powered by a 1 HP single-phase motor with AC variable frequency drive, digital speed display, timer for automated cycles, and a gearbox for high torque at low speeds.

Operation: Slow tumbling action ensures uniform lubrication and blending, ideal for fragile or free-flowing materials like those used in tablet/capsule formulations; discharge via bottom valve.

FAQ for Lab Scale Octagonal Blender

What is a Lab Scale Octagonal Blender?

The Lab Scale Octagonal Blender is a compact, cGMP-compliant mixing machine designed for R&D labs and small-batch production. It is used for uniform blending of dry powders, granules, and crystalline materials in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, Ayurvedic, herbal, food, chemical, and cosmetic industries. Its unique octagonal shape enables gentle, multi-directional tumbling for excellent homogeneity with minimal RPM and low shear.

What are the key features of the Lab Scale Octagonal Blender?

Key features include:

Compact cGMP model with SS 304 / SS 316 contact parts.
Octagonal shape for superior mixing at low speed.
Manual hand wheel for inching and easy positioning.
Easy loading/unloading and cleaning with no dead corners.
Safety guards, low power consumption, and minimum maintenance.
Available in models from 1L to 10L gross capacity.

What is the working principle of the Lab Scale Octagonal Blender?

It works on the principle of gentle tumbling and cascading. The octagonal container rotates slowly on a horizontal axis, causing materials to move continuously from all eight sides. This design ensures excellent mixing and lubrication of granules with very low RPM. The blender is typically filled to about two-thirds (65-70%) of its gross volume for optimal results, usually taking 5-20 minutes per batch.
