Considerations In Selection
B efore selecting any blending system, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the materials to be blended, how the
material is transported to and from the blend and how the blending system will be integrated into the facility.
Key considerations include:
v-shape
Gemco V-shape blenders are very popular in a wide variety of industries. The blend is
achieved by the constant rolling action of the classic tumble blender. Each leg of the V-shape
works independently to efficiently achieve a uniform blend. This precise mixing action results
in blend variations of 1-2%. Each cylindrical leg has an access cover for easy material loading
and cleaning. The V-shape, as all tumble blenders, requires low maintenance and consumes
little horsepower.
double cone
The unique design of the Gemco D/3 Double Cone blender results in a high degree of particle
mobility without the use of internal baffles. This type of blender offers a low profile, thus requiring less
headroom than that of a V-shape blender. One access cover means easier cleaning and inspection.
The Double Cone is a proven performer in a wide variety of industries, offering greater overall volume
and high efficiency with blend variations in the range of 1-2%.
slant cone™
The asymmetrical geometry of the Gemco Slant Cone™ design offers very
fast blend times. High axial particle mobility plus the intermeshing action of
materials results in blend times of up to 33% less than other designs. In addition,
The Slant Cone™ achieves more control and a more precise end product with
blend variations typically half that of the other shapes regardless of how the
material is loaded into the blender.
