Description

Available for sale is a used Patterson-Kelley approximately 2 cubic foot Twin Shell V-Blender constructed of 316 stainless steel.

The blender has a stated maximum material density rating of 270 lb. per cubic foot, making it potentially suitable for small batches of relatively dense compatible powders and particulate materials. Because this is a significant density rating, buyers should verify the equipment nameplate and manufacturer documentation before processing high-density loads.

An integrated intensifier bar provides additional high-shear mixing action within the rotating V-shell. This can improve dispersion of minor ingredients, assist with deagglomeration, and provide more intensive mixing than conventional tumble blending alone.

The complete unit is mounted on a stainless steel frame with casters, allowing the blender to be repositioned within a processing facility.

Specifications

270 lb./cu. ft. is the supplied maximum material density rating and should be verified against the equipment nameplate or manufacturer documentation before processing high-density materials.
