Double-Cone Blender: Rapid, Low-Impact Mixing

Staying competitive in today’s world requires intelligence in and on all fronts. That’s why Marion Process Solutions has invested in an expert team of talent to create intelligent solutions through smart controls. iNCONTROL™ is much more than a control system capability. It’s a toolbox of resources and knowledge that will take your machine to the next level of performance. Your smart resource from day one.  At a minimum, all control packages include:

• An enclosure with a NEMA or IEC rating depending on the application
• A lockable service disconnect suitable for lock-out/tag-out devices
• Fuse or circuit breaker protection
• E-stop and safety limit switch circuitry where applicable

A superior product may be achieved by installing a chopper that provides the ability to blend and disperse in one operation. Mounted through the sides of the mixer trough, the agitator continually brings material into the chopper zone while mixing. Various styles of cutting edges on the intensive 3600 rpm chopper blades rip apart and circulate lumps and agglomerates, break up liquid-rich shot balls, open matted fibrous materials, and distribute pigments. Sample chopper applications include:

• Mixing agglomerated pigments into plastic powder by dispersing the pigment and developing the color
• Mixing resin into compacted asbestos, synthetic fiber, or fiberglass by allowing the resin uniformly penetrate and coat the fiber matrix
• Blending blocks of solid shortening (or liquid shortening) into bakery mixes  PVC resins, oily plasticizers, fillers and pigments
• Blending dry pharmaceutical preparations with thick liquid binders to break up liquid-rich lumps and coat particles to produce a homogenous, compactable mix
• Dispersing colored pigments into grout/cement mixes

When you need to add product to the mixer in a unique way, our liquid manifolds, shortening presses, liquid pumping units, and nitrogen blanket inlet ports can be the answer to your problem.  

Suitable for steam, hot oil or water, our ASME code rated jackets with optional external insulation provide a reliable solution for products that need to be heated or cooled during the mixing process.

• With the addition of heat, a mixer can be used to cook, dry or create a chemical reaction.
• When cooling, the benefits include chilling, freeze drying or the ability to stabilize a chemical reaction.
• Marion Process Solutions has experience in working with applications that require temperature ranges from +600ºF to -20ºF.
