| Note: Tumble
blenders are volumetric machines, that are not rated for a
specific mass of product such as one ton. They are rated for
a specific volume of material (the working capacity from above)
at a maximum bulk density. It is not correct however to take
the maximum density time the working volume to obtain a "weight
rating" for the unit. For example if we say a 60 cubic foot
(1,700 liter) working capacity unit is rated for 62 pounds
per cubic foot (1g/cc), we can not multiply the two to say
it is rated for 3,720 pounds (1,700 Kg). The reason we can
not is the next operator will have material weighing twice
as much and mistakenly decide to put in half the volume in
order to stay within the weight limitations. |
| If
you wish to provide us with the weight, we will size the unit
according to the bulk density. |

| If High
Sheer bar is required, choose one of the following:
Slow speed High Sheer Bar (nominal 1,650 feet per minute [503 meters per minute]
blade peripheral tip speed) for breaking up loose agglomerates, lump breaking,
etc.
High
speed High Sheer Bar (nominal 3,300 feet per minute [1,006
meters per minute] blade peripheral tip speed) for significant
work input to create intimate dispersions of minute components
and break up tight agglomerates.
Ultra
high speed High Sheer Bar(nominal 5,000 feet per minute [1,525
meters per minute] blade peripheral tip speed) for very significant
work input to create streak free dispersions of minute components
and colors. Able to break up tight agglomerates; falls just
below a mill in capability. |

stainless, specify finish: |

if the support frames are carbon steel, should the support
frames including motor(s), piping, etc. be enclosed with
stainless steel sheet metal walls? |
|
|
| Should
only the base plate (which is bolted to the floor) of the
support frames be made of 304 stainless steel to prevent
long term corrosion as cleaning solutions seep under over
the years and start to "bleed" rust? |

Electrical
ratings on the control panel (which can often be located in
the next room and rated as dust tight as opposed to explosion
proof to save cost and provide easier access)

Loading
/ Unloading & Material Handling |
|
Do
you load
or, unload
with drums? |
|
Are
you interested in our Gemcomatic, an automated drum
loading/unloading system built into the machine?
|
|
|
|
Do
you load with drums and unload into bulk hoppers
or, bins?
(We can offer drum loading system that will discharge into hoppers). |
|
Do
you bulk load from above and bulk discharge below? |
|
|
|
Should
we provide an automatic positioning system to always stop
in the vertical up and vertical down positions? |
|
|
|
Should
we provide a flexible, retractable sleeve or boot on the
discharge valve to extend and mate with the loading/unloading
port? |
