Understanding the working principle of Double Cone Blenders is key to appreciating why they are the preferred choice for industries like pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical manufacturing. These machines are specifically designed to ensure efficient, consistent, and homogenous mixing of dry powders and granular materials, even for complex blends.

The Double Cone Blender working principle is based on a gentle tumbling motion that occurs as the cone rotates. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

1. Loading the Material: The blender is loaded with the material to be mixed. This is typically done through a valve or port at the top or side of the cone.
2. Rotation: Once sealed, the blender rotates around its central axis. As it turns, the powders inside continuously tumble and cascade over each other.
3. Mixing Action: The tumbling motion causes particles to repeatedly separate and recombine, promoting a uniform distribution. The symmetric cone design ensures that all materials, regardless of density or particle size, mix thoroughly.
4. Discharge: After the blending cycle, the material is discharged through an outlet valve at the bottom. Because of the sloped surfaces, almost all of the material is easily emptied without residue.

Masterly® Double Cone Blender is a preferred choice for uniform blending of dry powders and granules across many industries. Here are the key advantages that make it so effective and widely used:

• Uniform Mixing – its unique double-cone design and gentle tumbling motion, the blender ensures homogenous mixing of materials—even when particle sizes and densities vary.
• Gentle Blending Action – Unlike high-shear mixers, a Double Cone Blender does not use internal blades. This reduces the risk of material degradation, making it ideal for delicate, heat-sensitive, or friable products.
• Minimal Product Loss – The design allows for nearly complete discharge of material, minimizing product loss and reducing the risk of cross-contamination between batches.
• Energy Efficient – With no need for high-speed mixing components, the blender consumes less power, making it cost-effective to operate.
• Easy to Clean and Maintain – The smooth internal surfaces and absence of moving parts inside the blending chamber make cleaning fast and straightforward—an important advantage in industries with strict hygiene standards like pharmaceuticals and food.
• Scalable Design – Double Cone Blenders come in various sizes—from small lab-scale units to large industrial machines—making them suitable for R&D, pilot plants, and full-scale production.
• Versatile Applications – They can handle a wide variety of dry materials, from pharmaceutical powders and food ingredients to cosmetic bases and chemical compounds.

• The conical shape at both ends enables uniform mixing and easy discharge.
• The cone is statically balanced to avoid any excessive
  load on the gear box and motor · While the powder can be loaded into the cone through a wider opening, it can be discharged through a butterfly or slide valve.
• Depending upon the product Ribbons or paddle-type baffles can be provided on the shaft for better mixing inside the cone.
• The contact parts are made of either SS 304 or SS 316
• Fame proof motor can be supplied as optional
• Capacity available 25 liters. To 1000 Liters.
