Manufacturer Information
Gemco
Gemco manufactures industrial blending, mixing, and material-handling equipment used for powders, granules, and other bulk solids. Double cone blenders provide gentle tumbling action to repeatedly divide and recombine material, making them useful for blending compatible free-flowing powders and granular products where relatively low-shear mixing is desired.
This Gemco double cone blender offers a 30 cubic foot capacity, 304 stainless steel construction, and a Gemcomatic drum loading and unloading system.
Description
Available for sale is a used Gemco stainless steel double cone blender with a stated 30 cubic foot capacity.
The blender is constructed of 304 stainless steel and has a stated maximum bulk density of 70 lb/cu. ft. At the full stated 30 cubic foot capacity and maximum stated bulk density, the theoretical material weight would be approximately 2,100 lb. Actual working batch volume and weight should be established based on the product and recommended blender fill level.
The vessel features an 18" diameter top loading port and a large 16" diameter bottom outlet for material discharge.
Also included is a Gemcomatic drum loader and unloader, providing a material-handling solution for transferring compatible products between drums and the blender.
