Brochure: Marion Mixers Product Overview

This 40 cu. ft. mixing capacity food-grade, sanitary mixer was designed for a nutraceutical company for their mixing and blending product processing. It's dimensions include a U-shaped trough length of 82" with a dia. of 32". U-shaped troughs are the most commonly type used. The side walls extend vertically upward and on each side from the center-line of the agitator. This trough design provides the greatest access for cleaning surfaces inside the mixer. Assuming similar length and diameter, the U-shaped trough holds more volume of product than other trough designs. The finish is 1/4" T304 SS polished to #4 Sanitary for food and drug compliance. The powertrain consists of a 40 Hp. Reliance motor with stainless dust cover, and Dodge shaft-mounted reducer motor for variable speed. Optional tubular leg supports were added. The agitator is an inner/outer double flight ribbon blender good for blending materials of like size, shape and density such as powders or granular ingredients. Lateral scrubbing action of the inner ribbon against the outer ribbon produces heat. This can be useful when coating ingredients. The double inner and double outer ribbon flights are located on the agitator with 180° of separation. For every revolution of the agitator, particles of any given location inside the blender are manipulated twice as many times with this double "helix" style. The discharge is a GEMCO TLD 6" center diameter. The drivetrain consists of a 4 ¼" solid mainshaft which provides maximum transfer of torque with minimum shaft deflection within the smallest contact surface area.
