SHELL SOLID-SOLIDS BLENDER W I T H I N T E N S I F I E R BAR
achieves complete dispersion. High-speed rotational sheer and impact overcomes tendency of components to agglomerate.
SHELL LIQUID-SOLIDS BLENDER
gives maximum coverage of fragile food particles without degradation. Gentle fog-like dispersion of liquid (through exclusive new impact-free centrifugal liquid feed bar) and gentle tumbling action make it possible.
Blending time in batch equipment averages five minutes; residence time in continuous, two minutes. All basic operations can be conducted in either type — selection depending on volume required. In the examples above, pre-testing determined model choice. Factors considered: uniformity of blend; need for attrition or no attrition; ease of discharge; dust control; cleanability. Note: Where actual pre-test information was confidential, examples above were altered. However, they are still indicative of the capabilities of P-K processing equipment. P-K TWIN-SHELL SOLID-SOLIDS BLENDER offers precise gentle blending; with intensifier bar, streak-free dispersion of additives as well. Charge capacities from 1 to 75 cu. ft. *
P-K TWIN-SHELL LIQUID-SOLIDS BLENDER dry blends, disperses liquids, agglomerates. Will blend from V2% liquids by wgt. to whatever % solids can absorb and remain solid. I to 50 cu. ft. charge capacities.*
