Munson Machinery
The Model 700-TH-40-SS sanitary rotary batch mixer (photo) blends batches of ingredients in parts as small as one ppm with 100% uniformity in less than 3 min, evacuates 100% of the batch, and can be sanitized rapidly with no tools, says the manufacturer. It is intended for industrial applications involving contamination-sensitive materials and those requiring frequent product changeovers. The unit has a rotating drum with proprietary mixing flights that tumble and fold materials gently, imparting minimal energy to the batch, regardless of disparities in bulk densities, particle sizes or variable flow characteristics of the ingredients, and its retractable inlet enables easy, thorough washdown. The mixer has a useable batch capacity of 40 ft 3 (1.132 m 3), total capacity of 80 ft 3 (2.27 m 3) and weight capacity of 4,000 lb (1,814 kg), and is equipped with a spray line for liquid additions. — Munson Machinery, Utica, N.Y.
