Pneumatic Batch Blending for the Process Industries

Whirl-Air Batch Blender/Transporters can handle a variety of dry materials in a wide range of particle sizes and densities. Pneumatic blending provides thorough, dust-free mixing with extremely low sheer and blend times of only two to five minutes. The unique Whirl-Air design uses dense phase pneumatic conveying to deliver the blended batch without segregation to one or more process areas. The Blender/ Transporter combination also features the capability to deliver different batch weights to the multiple process areas.Whirl-Air Batch Blender/Transporters can easily be mounted on a load cell weighing system to weigh ingredients or check weigh a batch. The controls system allows fully automatic operation.Batch Blender/Transporter Features

Typical Batch Blender/Transporter Product Applications

Batch Blender/Transporter Sequence of Operation

Typical Automatic System

Overhead storage silos feed product to weigh hopper by screw conveyor or other volumetric feeder. Blender receives weighed batch, blends and conveys mixed batch to process. Whirl-Air often supplies minor or micro ingredient systems to accurately add small weighments to each batch.Whirl-Air typically provides comprehensive systems to fully automate the entire process.

Typical Manual System

This self-standing system has a gravity discharge blender with manual filling inlet.

Options

• Liquid Addition - for dust control, adding perfumes to soaps, etc. without balling or clumping.    
• Minor Addition - can be hand added or weighed automatically for addition to batch prior to blending.
• Check Scale System - can be scale mounted to act as a check scale to ensure majors and minors are added to batch prior to blending.
• Deliver To Multiple Stations- capable of delivering different batch weights or formulas to multiple process areas.
