Tumble Blenders

Source: Custom Powder Systems

Tumble blending is a dual action blending principle. The first blending action is produced by a wave as the material is tumbled. This wave (or shear plane) occurs in the top ¼ of the product load. The second blending action is produced by the cradle orientation. The IBC is held in the blender at an angle to position the IBC horizontal center of gravity 20° from the Blender tumbling centerline. This geometry places the IBC shell walls at cross flow producing angles to the blend axis, acting as baffles as the product is tumbled

Dry powder blending is simplified when you use bin blending that reduces blend times and requires no between batch cleanup. Since products contact only the Bin, you benefit from total product containment, immediate product changeover and zero blender cleaning. You also eliminate airborne and cross-contamination, product segregation and spillage risks.
