Tumble Blending

Whatever your blending requirements, Orbis Machinery has the blending solution to fit your process!

Blending in its simplest form is the combining of two or more materials to produce a homogeneous mixture. Normal tumble blending of free flowing materials provides a gentle mixing action. We offer two types of tumble blenders.

Cone Blenders

Orbis Machinery cone blenders consist of two cones welded to a cylindrical center section that provides a gentle, low shear tumble action of the product. Cone blending also results in a high degree of particle mobility without the use of internal baffles. Cone blenders have proven successful in a wide variety of industries, offering greater overall volume and high efficiency with blend variations of 2% or less. We offer both a 45° and 60° cone version.

V-Shape Blenders

With the Orbis Machinery V-shape blender the blend is achieved by the constant rolling action of the classic tumble blender. Each leg of the V-shape shell works independently to efficiently achieve a uniform blend. This precise mixing action results in blend variations of 2% or less. Each cylindrical leg has an access cover for easy material loading and cleaning.
