What is Tumble Blender?
A tumble blender is a type of rotating mixing machine available in various styles, such as the IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) Blender, V-shaped blender, and double-cone configuration. It is generally regarded as a gentle and efficient method for blending.
Irrespective of its geometry, a tumble blender typically operates at speeds ranging from 5 to 25 revolutions per minute (rpm), with the specific speed determined by the characteristics of the ingredients being blended. (High speed mixer)
LK Mixker’s V Blenders are known for their robust design and construction. They are crafted from 304 S.S. (optional 316L) to adhere to cGMP Standards. Our V Blenders are competitively priced, making them accessible for laboratory and large-scale production needs.
We equip our V Blenders with heavy-duty industrial ABB Motors & Drives to ensure reliable rotation of the V-Shell and intensifier bar. For added safety, we provide Safety Sensor Gates for all our V Blenders, and you can also benefit from Variable Speed Control for both the V-Shell and I-Bar, giving you greater control and flexibility in your blending operations.
How do V Blenders work?
Tumble blenders live up to their name by coaxing the product to tumble inside. As the vessel rotates on a horizontal axis, the primary method of mixing is through diffusion. This occurs as particles roll, cascade, and traverse every exposed surface. In the case of a V-shaped blender, the batch is in a constant state of division and reunification as it moves back and forth between the two sides of the vessel.
Tumble Blender Working Principle:
Tumble Blenders find widespread applications in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, chemical, food, and related industries for the blending of dried powders and granules. These blenders are designed with two inclined cylinders joined together in a “V” shape. Through mechanical transmission, the powdered materials within the shell move back and forth, continuously undergoing division and intermixing as the shell rotates, resulting in thorough and consistent blending.
Typical cycle times for V blenders usually fall within the range of 15 minutes, although they can be shorter depending on the complexity of the blending task. Moreover, a V blender can be equipped with an intensifier bar, which aids in the mixing process and the breakdown of materials.
What are the advantages of tumbler blender?
Tumble blenders are rotary devices available in various geometries, with the most common being symmetrical V-shaped or double-cone configurations. These blenders operate by partially loading the vessel with the product and rotating it at speeds ranging from 5 to 25 revolutions per minute. The primary mechanism driving mixing is diffusion, where batch materials cascade down, evenly distributing particles across freshly exposed surfaces as the vessel rotates horizontally.
Advantages of Tumble Blending:
Low-Impact Mixing: Tumble blending is exceptionally gentle, making it suitable for processing abrasive solids or highly fragile blends. This method is also well-suited for creating precise blends that may contain trace components (<1%) or ingredients with vastly different sizes and densities.
Versatility: Tumble blenders are not limited to dry solid blends; they can also effectively handle low-viscosity slurry-type mixtures.
Efficient Discharge: The V-shaped and double-cone vessel geometries facilitate complete discharge of the blended material, minimizing waste and ensuring product uniformity.
Ease of Cleaning: Tumble blenders are easily accessible for cleaning, allowing for quick and thorough sanitation. When product-contacting surfaces are finished with a smooth or mirror polish, cleanability is further enhanced.
In summary, tumble blenders offer a gentle and versatile mixing solution suitable for a wide range of materials and applications. Their low-impact nature, efficient discharge, and ease of cleaning make them a valuable tool in various industries.
