Fluidizing bed blending silo for powder mixing
In industries where the mixing of fluidizable bulk materials like powders is essential, achieving uniform blending can be challenging. Traditional mixing methods often lead to high energy consumption, increased wear, and longer processing times, making them less efficient and more costly.
Efficiently mix fluidizable bulk materials
The Fluidizing Bed Blending Silo from Zeppelin Systems offers an optimized solution for mixing powders with particle sizes of less than 500 μm. Utilizing a fluidizing bed, the silo mixes materials through the random relative movements of particles, facilitated by flowing a fluidizing gas, typically air, through the bulk material. This process ensures gentle homogenization with minimal external force impact on individual particles, making it suitable for materials prone to breakage and wear. The horizontal mixing effect is enhanced through variable aeration in different inflow zones, resulting in an optimized mixing effect and reduced mixing time. Additional benefits include degassing of the product and the ability to mix very large quantities of powder with minimal energy consumption. This technology is particularly beneficial in industries requiring gentle and efficient mixing processes, such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemicals.
