Recirculating/Fluidization Anti-Gravity Blender
Young Industries Patented Anti-Gravity Blender is a gentle, energy and cost-efficient method to blend fine powders. The Blender is most efficient for handling powders with particle size less than 100 mesh. The Anti-Gravity Blender can effectively blend powders that have poor flow properties. Unlike mechanically driven blenders this system uses only low volume/low pressure compressed air/gas to gently condition and blend powders. No motor driven or mechanical agitation required! The result is a homogeneous blend of powder.
The Anti-Gravity Blender is a simple, effective, and efficient method to blend powders of all kinds. Testing and demonstrations of the Anti-Gravity Blender is available at Young Industries test facility in Muncy, PA.
Specifications
The Anti-Gravity Blender generally consists of a cylindrical hopper with sufficient capacity to hold the contents of the batch to be blended. Hopper capacity can range from 5 cu. ft. to 1200 cu. ft. The hopper cone is lined with Young Industries TransFlow® fluidization media. The cone angle is normally 60 degrees but can be as shallow as 30 degrees in applications where height is an issue. The 316S/S TransFlow® fluidization media is chambered in a manner to optimize the blending of powder in the cone before the powder enters the blending chamber.
