What is a Double Cone Blender?

A double cone blender is a type of tumble blender. The main body of the equipment is composed of two cone-shaped parts that are welded at their bases to form a cylindrical section between them. It is the perfect machine to blend fragile and delicate materials, as well as mixing heavy and abrasive particles. Using a double cone blender is a great choice when you want to set materials in motion by a gentle, low-energy tumbling action.

A double cone blender is a piece of blending equipment that is often used for mixing free-flowing solids. Overall, this type of blender is more suited for ingredients that need to be gently tumbled rather than stirred, as it can create a homogeneous mixture.

All the double cone blender parts that come into contact with food are stainless steel, which makes it a great machine. It can achieve maximum homogeneity in a primary device with two cone blenders at 30–75% of gross volume all dependent on powder/granules. Due to the cone shape, this blender removes any dead spots.

In general, this machine can do dry mixing of powders that don't stick together or granules that need low shearing force. It is also a blender that can mix and blend powders and particles quickly. Even if the products have different specific gravities. The double-cone blender shakes and stirs the contents of its container, distributing the blended substance evenly. And provides a quick, easily operated flange fitting. This way the operator can remove the blended materials quickly. Overall, this is a machine that offers many great advantages.
