Weighing & Air Blending Systems Diagram

Whirl-Air Batch Blender/Transporters are part of our blending systems that can handle many dry materials like food mixes, detergents, alumina, and ceramics in a wide range of particle sizes and densities.

Pneumatic blending provides thorough, dust-free mixing with extremely low sheer and blend times of only two to five minutes. Our unique design uses dense phase pneumatic conveying to deliver the blended batch without segregation to one or more process areas. First the blender is filled, then materials are blended and conveyed. The Blender/ Transporter combination also features the capability to deliver different batch weights to the multiple process areas.

Our Batch Blender/Transporters can easily be mounted on a load cell weighing system to weigh ingredients or check weigh a batch. The controls system allows fully automatic operation.

  • Sequence of Operation

     View 
    1. Filling - blender is filled by gravity from the batch/scale hopper above. Manual additions can be made using a Whirl- Air manual bag emptier.

    2. Blending - products are homogeneously blended in cycles from two to five minutes using plant compressed air.

    3. Conveying - blended product is pneumatically conveyed to process area. Gravity discharge models are also available.

    Typical Automatic System Configuration

     View 
    Overhead storage silos feed product to weigh hopper by screw conveyor or other volumetric feeder. Blender receives weighed batch, blends and conveys mixed batch to process. We often supply minor or micro ingredient systems to accurately add small weighments to each batch. We typically provide comprehensive systems to fully automate the entire process.

    Typical Manual System Configuration

     View 
    This self-standing system has a gravity discharge blender with manual filling inlet.

    Options

  • Liquid Addition - for dust control, adding perfumes to soaps, etc. without balling or clumping.
  • Minor Addition - can be hand added or weighed automatically for addition to batch prior to blending.
  • Check Scale System - can be scale mounted to act as a check scale to ensure majors and minors are added to batch prior to blending.
  • Deliver To Multiple Stations - capable of delivering different batch weights or formulas to multiple process areas.

  • Quality

    Whirl-Air has complete control over every aspect of product quality and delivery.
