Anti-Gravity Blender
Our patented Anti-Gravity Blender offers a revolutionary approach to blending fine powders. It's gentle, energy-efficient, and cost-effective, making it ideal for even the most challenging powders with poor flow properties. Unlike traditional mechanical blenders, our system uses only low-volume, low-pressure compressed air or gas to fluidize and blend powders, resulting in a homogenous mix without the need for motor-driven or mechanical agitation.
Features & Options
Our Anti-Gravity Blenders are designed to meet your specific needs, whether you're blending in batches or continuously recirculating powders within your existing hoppers, day bins, or surge bins.
The core is a cylindrical hopper, sized to your batch capacity (from 5 ft.3 to 1200 ft.3). The hopper cone is lined with our patented TransFlow® fluidization media, ensuring gentle and effective powder conditioning before entering the blending chamber. It all ads up to a simple, yet powerful solution for achieving consistent blends on even the most cohesive powders.
Features
- TransFlow® and Stinger® technology
- Can be retrofitted to existing hoppers, bins, and silos
- Operates on 30 PSIG compressed air
- Consumes 1-2 SCFM per foot of recirculation Stinger®
- Consumes 1-2 SCFM per square foot of TransFlow® cone
- Single central connection for compressed air and controls
- NEMA 4 solenoid valves (24 VDC or 120 VAC)
- Reliable, gentle, and effective mixing
- Increase production with higher discharge flow rates
- Reduce maintenance costs: no moving parts, high voltage, or vibration
- Reduce downtime: eliminate bridges, ratholes, and plugged outlets
Options
- Cone angles as shallow as 30° to accommodate height restrictions
