Vacu-Blend Powder Vacuum Blending
How Does Powder Induction Vacuum Blending Work?
The introduction of powders into a fluid process is one of the most challenging mixing duties you will come across. Incorporating powders directly into a liquid stream with a powder induction vacuum blending system, will speed up your process, improve your product quality, while at the same time improving operator safety.
What is a Powder Vacuum Blending System?
The Scott Mixers Vacu-Blend powder vacuum blending system generates strong vacuum rates, pulling in powders and dispersing them lump-free into the liquid stream. Powders can be conveyed from a variety of sources; wanding from small bags or drums, manual bag addition directly to the mixer hopper, or integrated with bulk bag unloading systems.
The Vacu-Blend sanitary powder inducction system will reduce batch times by up to 90% while improving the consistency and quality of the product.
