Salient Features:

  • cGMP Design: The paddle blender is designed in compliance with cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices), ensuring that it meets the highest standards for quality and safety in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

  • Material Construction: The contact parts of the blender are constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance and adherence to strict quality standards. Non-contact parts are made of AISI 304 stainless steel.

  • Fully Automatic Operation: The blender operates fully automatically, controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This feature enhances operational control and efficiency in the blending process.

  • Flame-Proof Construction: The option for flame-proof construction can be provided upon request, making the blender suitable for use in environments where safety is a critical concern.

  • Adaptability to Batch or Continuous Mixing: The paddle blender is versatile and can adapt to both batch and continuous mixing operations, providing flexibility in manufacturing processes.

  • Ribbon Design: The ribbon design, including cross-section, pitch, and close clearances between the outer ribbon and shell, is adjustable to accommodate various materials ranging from low-density finely divided materials to fibrous and sticky materials.

  • Heating or Cooling Jacket: The blender can be equipped with a heating or cooling jacket as per process requirements, allowing for temperature control during the blending process.

  • Choppers: Choppers, available as a Delumper or Fine Grinder, can be integrated into the blender for additional material processing capabilities.

  • Hinged Cover and Dependable Discharge Outlet: The blender features a hinged cover for easy access and a dependable discharge outlet. The discharge can be controlled manually with a lever or hand wheel-operated slide gate valve.

  • Optional Scale Hoppers: Scale hoppers are available as optional features, providing additional functionality for specific material handling needs.

  • Fast and Easy Cleaning: The design facilitates fast and easy cleaning. The entire ribbon assembly is removable as a unit, streamlining maintenance processes.

  • Shaft Seal: The blender is equipped with a shaft seal, featuring three rows of packing housed in a standard gland follower stuffing box. Purged and lubricated seals, as well as mechanical seals, are also available.

  • CIP System: A Clean-In-Place (CIP) system can be provided with a pump as an optional feature, ensuring convenient and efficient cleaning of the blender.

  • CGMP Model with Documentation: The CGMP model comes with comprehensive documentation, including Installation Qualification (IQ), Design Qualification (DQ), Performance Qualification (PQ), and Operational Qualification (OQ), providing a complete quality assurance package.

The Ribbon Blender's efficient and adaptable design makes it a valuable asset in industries where precise blending of dry solids is essential. Its ability to handle a wide range of materials, along with advanced features and compliance with industry standards, makes it suitable for diverse manufacturing processes.
