Octagon blender

About Octagon blender

An octagonal blender (also called an octagonal powder blender) is a specialized industrial mixer commonly used for dry powders and granules in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, cosmetics, and related industries. Heres what sets it apart: Shape & MotionIts eightsided (octagonal) shell creates a unique tumbling motion that gently moves materials from side to side, improving mixing uniformity at low rotational speedsGentle Mixing for Fragile MaterialsDesigned for coarse or brittle granules, it minimizes shear forcesideal for formulations needing granule integrity or uniform lubrication .cGMP & Hygienic ConstructionTypically built with SS316 contact surfaces, SS304 external parts, mirror-polished interiors, food-grade gaskets, and butterfly-discharge valvesall for cleanability and containmentCapacity VersatilityAvailable in capacities from small lab-scale (130L) to large production-scale (hundreds to thousands of liters); some manufacturers offer sizes up to 10,00020,000LEfficient MixingLower power usage compared to V or doublecone blenders, while still delivering uniform blending in 1030 minutes, thanks to enhanced angular momentum from its shapeDust-Free HandlingMany units support bin or vacuum charging, pneumatic valves, and sealed lids, maintaining environmental control and avoiding contaminationEasy Cleaning & MaintenanceDesigned with hatches or manways for CIP/SIP, removable baffles, and safety interlocks, aligning with cGMP standardsCommon Applications Pharmaceutical: Blending active ingredients, granules, excipients, and coatings. Food & Cosmetic: Mixing spices, powders, talcs, pigments. Chemicals / Minerals: Uniform dispersion of solids or dry additives.
