Inside a Truncone Mixer

The Truncone Mixer is a Vertical Ribbon Blender especially designed for mixing of free flowing and / or cohesive powders. The Truncone mixer is a convective mixer which creates low to medium shear forces during the process.

Working Principle

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.

Industrial use

Truncone mixer can be used for mixing of:

• Powders with powders
• Powders with liquids

Advantages

• Short mixing times
• Due to low speed minimal mechanical and thermal stress
• High mixing accuracy
