Bin Blender - Bin blender with integral hopper and discharge valve. SS 304 construction, VFD control, easy loading/unloading. 2.5 Kg to 5000 Kg capacity.

The Bin Blender combines efficient batch mixing with integral hopper design, engineered for convenient pharmaceutical blending with minimal material transfer.

The basic equipment is thoughtfully designed with non-FLP construction for enhanced safety and reliability, making it suitable for various pharmaceutical applications.
The main structure of this equipment is expertly crafted from heavy-duty SS 304 square tube, ensuring durability and longevity.
The integrated hopper and blending bin design enables direct material loading, eliminating the need for separate hoppers and reducing contamination risk.
The blending bin and gear box output are seamlessly coupled with heavy-duty Pin Bush Coupling, ensuring efficient and reliable blending operations.
A variable frequency drive is included for precise speed control, allowing you to tailor the blending process to your specific formulation needs.
A self-positioning sensor is provided to ensure accurate and consistent discharge positioning, reducing the need for manual adjustments.
At the discharge point of the blender, a manually operated butterfly valve simplifies the discharge process, providing easy control and flexibility.
The discharge includes a specially designed adaptor assembly with T C (Tri-Clamp) connection. In the event of damage to the butterfly valve, this assembly serves as a safeguard, preventing material loss and ensuring product integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum blending capacity?

The Bin Blender can handle up to 5000 Kg batches, making it suitable for lab-scale to full production runs.

Does the integrated hopper reduce processing time?

Yes. The integrated hopper design eliminates separate material transfer, saving 15-20 minutes per batch and reducing product loss by 5%.

How does loading and unloading work?

The integral hopper takes material directly, and the self-positioning sensor stops the shell with the discharge pointing down for quick, complete unloading through a butterfly valve with a Tri-Clamp adaptor that also guards against product loss.

Why choose a bin blender over a fixed-shell blender?

Changeover. The bins are washed off-line while the blender body keeps working, which cuts downtime on a multi-product line and lowers cross-contamination risk. Charging and discharge can be closed, which helps with potent compounds, and the same bin carries the blend straight to the tablet press or capsule filler with no intermediate transfer.

How full should the bin be, and how fast does it run?

Fill to roughly 50-60% of the bin's gross volume so the powder bed can cascade. Production tumble blenders run around 8-20 rpm, set on the VFD for the formulation. Fix blend time and the lubricant addition point during validation, as lubricated blends are prone to over-mixing.

What is the construction and material of construction?

Non-flameproof construction on a heavy-duty SS 304 square-tube frame with a heavy-duty pin-bush coupling on the drive. Product-contact finish and MOC (SS 316 / SS 316L, mirror or matt polish) are configured to your requirement at the quotation stage.
