Catalog excerpts

The Blendcon air blender uses compressed air to lift, turn and tumble dry materials, utilizing the high kinetic energy released when compressed air is allowed to expand rapidly to atmospheric pressure. Compressed air is pulsed into the material in an upward circular pattern. This blending method is so effective that very few pulses are required to com- plete the blending cycle. Blending is fast and thor- ough. The ratio of horsepower to material blended is very low, resulting in high efficiency.The discharge cone valve helps to eliminate deadspots during blending and substantially reduces segregation during discharge. There are no mixer arms or blades to wear out or clog, making the Blendcon air blender ideal for blending abrasive materials which would shorten the life of a conven- tional blender. > The smooth interior silo surfaces help prevent buildup. There are no mixing blades, tubes, or pipes to trap material, making it easier to perform any required cleanout between different batches. > The blending action and intensity are controlled by the duration and frequency of air pulses, and by the pressure and volume of air. These variables are fully adjustable to achieve optimum results for your specific application. The Blendcon > air blender is one of the fastest,most efficient blenders available for mixing large batches of dry bulk materials. It can typically blend a 300 cubic foot batch in just four minutes, and can handle batches up to 200 tons in capacity.By producing large, consistent, homogeneousbatches, the Blendcon air blender simplifies mate- rial handling and quality control, andincreases productivity. > The Blendcon blending head can be installed on an existing or customer supplied silo, or it can be ordered with a standard silo or custom-designed silo to suit your application. > Fast, gentle homogeneous blending Plastic pellets Easier silo cleanout Glass batch Anti-segregation cone Flour mixes Variable blending control Chemical compounds Blends abrasive materials Cement grouts Low energy consumption Food products Uses standard compressed air Foundry additives Low shear And most dry materials >

6.After a preset blending time, when the blending iscomplete, the discharge cone valve moves to the up, or open, position, allowing the homogeneously blended batch of material to discharge by gravity. The discharge cone valve also helps to prevent material from segregating during discharging.7.The discharge cone valve remains in the up, oropen, position until the silo is completely empty. When batch blending with the Blendcon airblender, the following components are required:A Blendcon blending head which includessixteen air-operated injector valves, injector nozzles, head sensing device,...
