Ribbon, Paddle and Plow Blenders

Trough blenders with ribbon, paddle or plow agitators mix dry solids, pastes and slurries in 5 to 10 minutes. Vessels are carbon steel, 304 or 316 stainless or AR-200/235 steel. In the cylindrical plow blender the shaft turns about 4 times faster at a fill of about 60 percent.

Stainless: 304/304L, 316/316L
Abrasion-resistant: AR-200/235
Plow blender fill: about 60%

Vee Cone Blenders

A vee cone blender consists of two inclined cylinders that rotate, mixing dry and granular materials in 5 to 15 minutes. There are no internal baffles, shafts or bearings, and the product discharges completely through a gate valve. Useable capacities run from 7.6 liters to more than 5,663 liters.

Blend time: 5-15 min
Smallest: 7.6 L
Largest: over 5,663 L
Internal shafts: none

Fluidized Bed Mixers

Two counter-rotating shafts turn paddle agitators within two parallel U-shaped troughs, lifting material into a fluidized zone. Cycle times run from 10 seconds to two minutes, with 30 seconds typical. Capacities range from 5.90 liters to 8.01 cu m, and the MF-5-SS model holds 0.120 cu m.

Typical cycle: 30 s
Cycle: 10 s to 2 min
Capacity: 5.90 L to 8.01 m³
MF-5-SS: 0.120 m³

Rotary Continuous Mixers and Variable-Intensity Blenders

The CM rotary continuous mixer blends in a drum turning at 8 to 10 RPM with 1 to 2 minutes residence time, in sizes from CM-16x4 to CM-72x24. The VIM variable-intensity blender runs from 50 to 2,500 RPM on a VFD with residence times of 20 to 30 seconds.

CM drum: 8-10 RPM
CM-72x24: 283 m³/h
VIM shaft: 50-2,500 RPM
VIM models: VIM-83 to VIM-368

SCC Screen Classifying Cutters and Rotary Knife Cutters

The SCC cutter shears material with tungsten carbide or tool steel inserts against bed knives, with rotor speed adjustable from 30 to 3,600 RPM, in models from SCC-10 to SCC-72. The rotary knife cutter runs five knives at 550 RPM and yields particles from 1.2 to 50.8 mm.

SCC rotor: 30-3,600 RPM
SCC feed throat: 254-1829 mm
Knife cutter: 550 RPM
Knife cutter sizes: 1.2-50.8 mm

Pin Mills, Attrition Mills and Hammer Mills

CIM pin mills from CIM-8 to CIM-34 have disc diameters of 20.3 to 86.4 cm and drives from 4 kW. Attrition mills produce particles from 10 to 100 mesh on replaceable milling plates. HammerHead hammer mills HM-121, HM-141 and HM-142 run with gravity or pneumatic discharge.

CIM discs: 20.3-86.4 cm
CIM drive: from 4 kW
Attrition mills: 10-100 mesh
Hammer mills: HM-121, HM-141, HM-142

De-Clumper Lump Breakers, Maxum Crushers and Titan Shredders

The De-Clumper lump breaker has 1 to 4 rotors in sizes from 30.5 x 30.5 to 121.9 x 121.9 cm. The Maxum crusher uses two 355 mm shafts at 25 to 35 RPM to reduce blocks up to 726 kg. The twin-shaft Titan shredder with resharpenable heads takes drives from 14.9 to 74.6 kW.

De-Clumper rotors: 1 to 4
Maxum shafts: 355 mm, 25-35 RPM
Maxum block: up to 726 kg
Titan drive: 14.9-74.6 kW

Choosing a Batch Mixer

Munson batch mixers differ in cycle time and mixing action. The Series 700 rotary batch mixer blends a batch in 1 to 3 minutes with no internal shafts, from 142 liters to 17 m³, with TS, TH and THC designs chosen by bulk density; MX mini mixers cover 7 to 425 liters.

Ribbon, paddle and plow blenders handle pastes and slurries in 5 to 10 minutes. The vee cone blender with two inclined cylinders mixes dry and granular materials in 5 to 15 minutes, and the fluidized bed mixer typically in 30 seconds.

Continuous Mixing for Long Runs

For continuous feed Munson builds two mixer types. The CM rotary continuous mixer carries product through a drum turning at 8 to 10 RPM with 1 to 2 minutes residence time; sizes run from CM-16x4 to CM-72x24, and the CM-72x24 handles up to 283 m³/h at 1 minute residence.

The VIM variable-intensity blender runs from 50 to 2,500 RPM on a VFD with 20 to 30 seconds residence time; six models from VIM-83 to VIM-368 offer 50 to 3000 cu ft per hour.

Size Reduction: Cutters, Mills and Shredders

SCC screen classifying cutters from SCC-10 to SCC-72 shear material with replaceable inserts against bed knives, with rotor speed from 30 to 3,600 RPM and feed throats of 254 to 1829 mm. The rotary knife cutter at 550 RPM yields particles from 1.2 to 50.8 mm.

Fine grinding is done by CIM pin mills with 20.3 to 86.4 cm discs, attrition mills at 10 to 100 mesh and HammerHead hammer mills HM-121, HM-141 and HM-142.

The Maxum crusher with 355 mm shafts at 25 to 35 RPM takes blocks up to 726 kg, the De-Clumper with 1 to 4 rotors breaks lumps, and the Titan shredder cuts bulky waste.

Sifting and Material Trials

The Munsifter centrifugal sifter with a 2.24 kW motor and a shaft at about 500 RPM separates oversize from dry bulk materials, and the rotating drum screen removes solids from waste streams at 760 to 17,600 liters per minute.

Before a machine is selected, Munson tests customer material free of charge on its mixers and size reduction machines in its laboratory in Utica, New York.
