Laboratory Double Cone Blender

A Laboratory Double Cone Blender is a small-scale mixing device designed for uniform blending of dry powders, granules, and crystalline materials in R&D settings, primarily for pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and cosmetic applications. Its double-cone shape—two conical ends joined by a cylindrical section—facilitates gentle, low-shear tumbling motion for homogeneous mixing without degrading fragile materials.

Key Features and Specifications

• Design and Construction: Made of stainless steel for durability, hygiene, and cGMP compliance. Features a polished interior, charging port, bottom discharge valve, and optional baffles for enhanced mixing. Safety guards and quick-release mechanisms ensure ease of use and cleaning.

• Capacity: Typically ranges from 1–50 kg or 2–100 liters, ideal for lab-scale or pilot batches. Optimal fill level is 50–60% of volume for effective mixing.

• Power and Controls: Powered by a 0.5–2 HP motor with variable frequency drive (VFD) for adjustable speed, digital timer, and RPM display for precise control. Low-speed rotation minimizes heat and particle breakdown.

• Operation: Materials tumble via gravity-driven flow, ensuring uniform blending of free-flowing solids, even with varying densities or particle size. Discharge occurs through the bottom valve, often with dust-free options.

• Advantages: Simple, cost-effective design, easy to clean, and low maintenance. Ideal for straightforward blending tasks but less efficient than octagonal blenders for complex or sensitive blends due to fewer mixing planes.

Applications and Manufacturers

Used for blending pharmaceutical powders, food additives, or chemical formulations. Manufacturer Adinath International offer lab-scale models with customization options and validation support for regulatory compliance.
