Laboratory and pilot scale blending module
Efficiently integrate multiple blending functions on a single drive for streamlined laboratory and pilot batch processing, optimizing space and cost while ensuring quick transitions between different blending vessels.
Performs Multi-Function Blending for Labs and Pilots
The Vario Blend Module by Hanningfield is a versatile solution designed for the precision blending needs of research and development laboratories and pilot-scale operations. This module offers the unique ability to perform multiple blending functions—such as IBC, V-Shell, Double Cone, and Drum blending—on a single drive unit, making it suitable for a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. With a capacity of up to 50 liters, it efficiently handles solids, powders, and granules, making it ideal for the production of pharmaceutical tablets, dietary supplements, and fine chemical compounds.
The Vario Blend Module operates using a simple yet effective design that allows for easy and quick interchange of vessels via a Tri-Clamp system, reducing changeover time to less than a minute. It integrates seamlessly into existing lab and pilot-scale setups, providing a cost-effective and space-saving solution. Built with durability in mind, the module is available in materials that ensure compatibility with various chemical processes, and its ergonomic design, complete with a vessel loading trolley, facilitates safe and easy handling by operators.
Compliance with GMP and other industry standards is ensured, making this equipment suitable for sensitive applications in environments like pharmaceutical and chemical production. The Vario Blend Module also features options for customization, allowing you to tailor vessel configurations to specific production needs, while easy maintenance and cleaning protocols minimize downtime.
