This company now offers a new laboratory paddle blender offering advanced features for automated powder blending and liquid spraying operation with recipe management. Shown is the 1-cu.-ft. paddle blender (model 42P-1SS) constructed entirely of U.S. stainless steel type 304 with 150-grit interior finish and driven by a one-HP TEFC motor. Along side the blender’s full vacuum capability are new features including a pneumatic powder charging port and liquid delivery spray system promote batch-to-batch consistency. Touchscreen PLC recipe controls are housed inside a NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure allowing for indoor or outdoor use.

An interchangeable ribbon agitator can be supplied with any new paddle blender. Both paddle and ribbon agitators are used in the preparation of dry solid-solid mixes, and can accommodate minor liquid additions.
