How Pneumatic Blender Works?

• Blender is charged with powders to be blended in the blender either by pneumatic conveying or otherwise.

• Air is blown into powder bed through fluidizing cone

• After the powder in the vessel is completely fluidized, Agitating air pulses are introduced through bottom nozzle.

How Pneumatic Blender Works?

• Agitating pulse duration is about 300 to 500 milli seconds.

• Interval between pulse is around 20-35 seconds.

• After about 30 to 40 minutes pulsing is stopped and material is discharged through bottom nozzle

• While discharging fluidizing air is still blown in the material to avoid segregation of material.

Data Required For Designing Pneumatic Blender

• We need to know following properties of material.

• Particle Size (Maximum and Minimum)• Standard deviation between particle sizes• Fluidizing Property of Material/ Powder

All above properties can be checked at our works.

Comparison between mechanical & Pneumatic Blending

Mechanical Blenders• For 5 T powder Blending

Required time is about 3-4 Hrs• Temperature rise of blend is

about 20o to 30o C• For 5 T blender about 30Kw is

required for 4 hrs.= 120Kwhr• Some Pigments are sensitive

to temperature rise thus causing loss of quality

Pneumatic Blenders• For 5 T blending time is

about 40 minutes.• No Significant Temperature

rise.• Total Power consumption of

5kW for ½ Hr.= 2.5 kwhr.• No temperature rise hence

no loss of Quality
