V Blender - Stainless Steel & Hastelloy, 4 To 32 Quart Capacity, High-speed Liquid-feed Agitator With Adjustable Charge Level

Blenders are available in double cone, slant cone and V-shape, with shells of stainless steel, Hastelloy or transparent plastic, typical size range from four quart working capacity to 32 quart capacity with special size being made routinely. All blenders will e provided with fractional horsepower gear/motors for the main vessel drive, rotating the vessel through a chain and sprocket arrangement. Liquid-feed agitators will rotate at 3300 ft/min linear peripheral tip speed, using a V-belt drive arrangement.

Operation: -

The charge level should be at the top of the agitator shaft so that the shaft is completely covered with material when rotating. Some materials may fluff considerable and fill the shell after few moments of operation in this case; the charge level must be adjusted.
It is important to remember that full charge should adequately cover the shaft and splash housing but not the tips of the desperation blades. Over filling can inhibit the flow of material during operation and potentially result is poor and inconsistent blends. Excessive charge could also cause of the overloading of the agitator motor. Note that under filling the unit below the agitator blends will result in only a tumble blends as the agitator will not touch the product during the blending operation.
