Drum Blender

The Drum Blender system has been designed as an integral cycle system from formulation to utilisation. It involves mixing & batch identification of the product during intermediate steps inside the same hermetically sealed container. This system allows that the G.M.P. is followed as closely as possible (no cross. contamination, no pollution of the environment).

The machine consists of a fabricated MS Drum rotating at 20 RPM. It has an open able door in front, through which the SS Bins containing the products are loaded in the Drum. After the mixing, the Bins are removed and the Drum is recharged with another loaded Bin.
