BLENDER
What is a "blender"? Ideal for small batch variations, the lower third of the blender is fitted with
a system of tubes. For continuous blending while filling, this blender recirculates the material internally. By this method of handling, the sugar becomes thoroughly mixed and so the silo also serves as a blender for the sugar in it.
Columbian TecTank™ manufactures a gravity blender specifically for the plastics market. The Columbian TecTank™ DFC Blending Silo has been designed to provide superior blend performance. Reducing variables in your product stream at an affordable cost improves the economics of blender plant operation. The most important factor in your processing, the quality of the blend of raw plastic, will be more consistent.
The DFC Blending Silos incorporate both continuous flow and top hole flow principles. Our flow channels and LIFO (Last In, First Out) tubes result in quick, high performance blending with a higher single pass blend index. The blending silo is designed and engineered for the flow characteristics of your blender, resulting in the optimal silo for your application.
DFC Blending Silos smooth the profile of stored materials through gravity blended discharge or batch recirculation. Tendencies for abrupt changes in melt index, color variation and particle size are reduced. The silo discharges a more homogeneous blend. Gravity blending silos provide a better return on capital investment than standard blender storage silos.
Columbian TecTank™ DFC Blending Silos are designed for the specific application. Columbian TecTank™ offers product-testing services that will ensure superior product flow and blending. Our production facilities are ISO 9001 quality system certified. DFC blenders are available in aluminum, stainless steel or factory coated carbon steel.

The blender silo is insulated with a dynamic insulation system. A gravity blender designed specifically for the plastics industry is said to provide optimum blend performance and affordability, which improves the economics of plant operation. The blender offers fast top loading of forages and grains and easy unloading with an adjustable discharge chute. Blender can be started or stopped when full, saving energy and preventing unnecessary wear.
Each gravity tube blender is a vertical mixing chamber that can double as a storage silo. Through the use of staggered tubes, stored material is recirculated quickly and efficiently. The end result is a uniform blend with reliable consistency. The conveyor takes the materials to a blender where they are mixed and then dispensed into pods on the ground floor.
Pick up various products from existing blender and vacuum convey to hopper on load cells in accordance with formulas. The high-volume, automated combining of ingredients into the blender will remove the need for workers to climb ladders to load heavy bags into the system.
The system begins with sand being blown in from a sand blender where it is dispensed into a pneumatic pressure pod. Reducing blending time by up to 60%, a gravity blender will be an economically valuable asset to your company.
As you can see, there are several tubes that connect to the blending chamber keeping material flowing throughout the blender to minimize separation and to keep product homogenous throughout.
A wax tower, a blender and a professional drying installation make the equipment complete.Mechanical spiral loaders allows automatic feeding of powder, granule or regrind materials to one or several injection, blow-moulding or extrusion machines, continually feeding a drum, container, silo, blender or granulator to the mathine hopper.
A centralized blender is commonly used when several processing machines run the same blend or when one large machine runs at a high throughput, generally above 600 pounds per hour. The output from these blenders can then be conveyed directly to drying hoppers. The injection molding material, in pellet form and housed in a silo, is vacuum pumped into a blender where it is mixed with reground material
Each of three mills is an industrial sized blender with coarse kibble poured in near the bottom and fine cocoa powder blown out the top. During this process, chips from the silo are placed in a blender where glue is injected by means of injection nozzler.
