Acrison's Model 350 Continuous Blenders

"THE BLENDER WITHIN A BLENDER"... Featuring two concentrically mounted augers rotating at dissimilar speeds for the thorough and homogeneous blending of two or more dry solid ingredients

In operation, the Model 350 Blender provides...

• a unique annular interaction generated by the speed differential of the concentrically mounted, dual blending augers.
• dissimilar longitudinal velocities produced by the speed differential between the dual blending augers.
• an alternating forward and reverse action produced by the right and left hand helix configuration of the larger (outer) blending auger.
• a "tumbling" action created by a number of horizontal bars strategically located and affixed to sections of both augers.

"INTER-AUGER" BLENDING ACTION

The Model 350 is a versatile, multi-purpose continuous blender utilizing Acrison's unique, dissimilar speed, Double Concentric Auger Mechanism for the homogeneous and highly efficient mixing of dry solids with dry solids, and depening upon the specifics of certain applications, dry solids with liquids.

The action imparted to the material within the Model 350 Blender by the dissimilar parallel motion of the dual concentric augers operating at different speeds, produces a gentle, but extremely thorough blend of the ingredients being continuously metered into it. Retention time within the blender is minimal and the output delivery of the blended product is smooth and consistent.

Because of the many possible variations that can occur when mixing dry solids to dry solids, or liquids to dry solids, Acrison recommends that a physical evaluation of blending efficiency be performed in our Customer Demonstration Facilities with the actual materials to determine feasibility of the application and performance of the Model 350 Blender.

Model 350 Double Concentric Auger Continuous Blender

The effectiveness of Acrison's Model 350 multipurpose Blender has been proven time and time again in both common and uncommon applications. Even products having input feed ratios as much as 2000:1 are successfully blended. Versatility is broad... ranging from the simplest and basic coating of a pelletized product with a lubricant or a releasing agent, to the mixing of a paste-like blend having the consistency of dough.

Operating at a constant speed, the Model 350 Blender is designed to function in a "starved" condition. Product retention is fixed but initially variable in order to produce optimum blending efficiency as necessitated by the requirements of the specific application. Although the major portion of the blender is "fixed" dimensionally, some flexibility does exist with respect to the length of its discharge cylinder.

The quick disconnect and/or sanitary features available with the Model 350 Blender are designed for the rapid remove/ and cleaning of all major components without the need for tools. The Sanitary Model 350 Blender is USDA approved and is manufactured in strict compliance with the most stringent federal sanitary requirements.

The Acrison Model 350 Blender is only furnished with Acrison's various model volumetric or gravimetric feeders to form a complete metering/blending system.
