VEE CONE BLENDERS

A MUNSON^® Vee Cone Blender (also known as a "V Cone Blender" and "V Blender") is comprised of two inclined cylinders that rotate, causing bulk material to fall and converge during half of the rotation, and divide during the other half. This mixing action requires significantly less horsepower/kilowatts than ribbon blenders and other agitated machines.

Smooth internal surfaces, with no internal baffles, shafts or bearings, allow unobstructed material flow, as well as complete discharge through a gate valve. The absence of residual material, together with easy access to internal surfaces through the discharge valve and doors at the ends of the inclined cylinders, allows thorough sanitizing in minutes, preventing cross-contamination between changeovers.

Uniform blends can typically be achieved in 5 to 15 minutes with equal efficiency from 100% to 50% of fill volume, depending on capacity of the blender, bulk density of the material and other application parameters.

Suitable for dry and granular materials, MUNSON Vee Cone Blenders provide a tumbling action that is gentler than agitated machines in which blades, paddles or plows are forced through stationary material.

Since the gentle action of a MUNSON Vee Cone Blender may be insufficient to break down soft agglomerates, an optional Intensifier Bar within the mixing chamber is offered to impart the shear needed to reduce these materials, and/or to spray and distribute liquid additions throughout the batch.

The ultimate in simplicity and cleanability, these blenders are widely used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, chemical, plastics, ceramics and powder metal industries.

Models are available with useable capacities from 8 quarts (7.6 liters) to more than 200 cu ft (5663 liters), to USDA, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary or industrial standards.
