Bin tumbler for efficient mixing

Achieve precise blending and homogenizing of powders and granules with dual-inclination design, optimizing efficiency and reducing process time in demanding production environments.

Blends and Homogenizes Powders and Granules

The CYCLOPS Bin Tumbler from IMA Active is a versatile blending and homogenizing solution tailored for the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. Operating on a 15° rotation axis, it ensures efficient mixing while reducing process times. The hallmark Trigon System securely blocks bins, enabling high productivity without frequent tumbler cleanups. Designed for through-the-wall installation, it saves valuable space in processing areas. The CYCLOPS accommodates a range of bin sizes, with models catering from small lab batches to high-speed production runs up to 2,000 liters. Its robust design facilitates the blending of complex materials, such as tablet powders and instant soup mixes. Offering speed adjustments between 4 to 20 rpm, it suits various batch requirements. The entire system supports GMP compliance, vital for maintaining high standards in sensitive production environments. Additionally, it requires minimal maintenance and is configurable to specific manufacturing needs, providing a scalable solution for any production scale.
