Datasheet: SIFT-N-BLEND™

The lastest introduction from GlobePharma is the SIFT-N-BLEND™ new powder blender with a built-in screening mechanism (patent pending). SIFT-N-BLEND technology facilitates screening of the materials in the blender itself while blending, eliminating the need to pre-screen any materials. Screens with different mesh sizes are interchangeable. With proper selection of the screen and speed of screening more uniform and physically stable blends may be obtained using this technology. The semi-tubular screen is mounted onto the blender shell trunnion and it rotates along with the shell in the same direction, while a paddle,w hich replaces the intensifier bar of a standard blender, turns in the oppsosite direction to the rotation of the screen. A variable frequency drive controls the speed of the paddle. While the shell is turning, the semi-tubular screen picks up the powder and the paddles pushes it through the screen.
