The '''Truncone Mixer''' is a [[Vertical Ribbon Blenders|Vertical Ribbon Blender]] especially designed for mixing of free flowing and / or cohesive powders. The Truncone mixer is a convective [[Mixers|mixer]] which creates low to medium shear forces during the process. | |||
The convective mixing effect is created by the following 3 factors: | |||
*The outer ribbon conveys the material upwards along the vessel wall. | |||
*The continuous movement of the rotor causes a continuous exchange of particles. | |||
*In the center of the mixing chamber, the product is forced to the bottom section by the inner ribbon. |
