Blend it. Tumble it. Mix it. Homogenize it.
Traditional Bin Blending processes are often labour intensive and slow. This is largely due to the charging and discharging of blenders to and from Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). Hence by removing these stages and blending products in the bin, we are able to significantly reduce downtime and as a result, increase overall productivity.
Hanningfield bin blenders are designed for the gentle tumbling of IBCs and drums, helping to create uniform batches. The blender is available in various sizes, meaning we have a solution for every batch size, from small volumes (5L) up to large production runs (2000L+).
For a recent project, we worked alongside a customer to manufacture a bespoke blending solution. The customer required the ability to blend material in a setting with limited space including head height and Hanningfield engineers we able to offer this solution. The compact, stainless steel pedestal blender has the ability to raise the bin from the floor and blend in-situ. Process agility is maximised as IBC sizes are interchangeable. The unit can blend both clockwise and anti-clockwise, at various speeds (2-20 RPM) and batch control is simplified with the inclusion of 21 CFR Part 11 controls.
