Skyline Octaconal Blender

Octagonal blender, also known as an octagonal mixer or octagonal drum mixer, is a type of industrial blender used for mixing and blending of dry Powers, granules, and other solid materials.

Working Principles

>> The working principle of an octagonal blender is based on the rotation of an octagonal-shaped drum that contains the materials to be mixed. The drum is designed in such a way that the material inside it moves in a complex pattern during the rotation, ensuring that all the particles are uniformly mixed.
>> The blender consists of a motor, a gearbox, and an octagonal-shaped drum. The motor drives the gearbox, which in turn rotates the drum. The drum is fitted with a series of baffles or internal fins that help to lift and tumble the material as it rotates. This ensures that the material is thoroughly mixed and homogenized.
>> The materials to be mixed are loaded into the blender through a charging port, which is sealed during the operation. The blender is then rotated for a specific period, depending on the type of material and the required mixing time. Once the mixing process is complete, the material is discharged through a discharge port located at the bottom of the blender.
