Munson: Cylindrical Plow Blender for Problematic Bulk Materials

Edited by mhd on 27. Apr. 2023
Utica (NY), United StatesA new Munson Cylindrical Plow Blender with feed hopper and intensifiers handles dry, fibrous, dense, interlocking, or moist/oily bulk materials in batches up to 1.13 m3. A high-strength agitator shaft with radial arms rotates wedge blades at high speed within tight tolerance of a heavy-gauge vessel, creating a fluidising action that keeps the material in constant motion, regardless of particle size, shape or density, imparting the required energy to achieve uniform blends.

Two independently-powered, high speed tulip-shaped intensifiers produce any shear necessary to assist with dispersion.

The unit achieves batch uniformity in ratios to one part per thousand, blends significantly faster than trough-style horizontal mixers, and handles a greater variety of materials, including thinner pastes.  

Two large doors of Cylindrical Plow Blender model XHD-36-SSCYLI provide access for sanitising and visual inspection of all material contact surfaces.
