Octagonal Blender - Octagonal powder blender with VFD control and stainless steel construction. Self-positioning discharge, TC connection. 2.5 Kg to 5000 Kg capacity.

The Octagonal Blender combines efficient powder mixing with precise discharge control, designed for scalable pharmaceutical blending from lab to production scale.

The basic equipment is thoughtfully designed with non-FLP construction for enhanced safety and reliability, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
The main structure of this equipment is expertly crafted from heavy-duty SS 304 square tube, ensuring durability and longevity.
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 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 blending capacity range?

From 2.5 Kg lab bins up to 5000 Kg production bins, so a formulation can be scaled on the same blending geometry from development through to full production.

How full should the bin be?

Fill to roughly 50-60% of the bin's gross volume. Tumble blenders need headspace for the powder bed to cascade; overfilling collapses the mixing action and lengthens or spoils the blend.

How long is a typical blend, and at what speed?

Usually 10-20 minutes for a free-flowing pharmaceutical blend, fixed during validation. The variable frequency drive tunes shell speed. Lubricated blends are sensitive to over-blending, so blend time and the lubricant addition point are set in the batch record.

How is the blend discharged?

A self-positioning sensor stops the shell with the discharge cone pointing down for complete, repeatable unloading. Discharge is through a manually operated butterfly valve with a Tri-Clamp adaptor assembly that also guards against product loss if the valve is damaged.

What is the construction and material of construction?

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

Octagonal blender, double cone or bin blender?

All three are diffusion (tumble) blenders. An octagonal blender gives a large working volume in a low-headroom footprint and treats fragile granules gently. A double cone suits smaller batches and quick cleaning; an IBC/bin blender suits contained, dust-free transfer where bins move between suites.
