The Octagonal Blender is a highly efficient machine designed for the gentle mixing and lubrication of dry powders and granules in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, chemical, herbal, and cosmetic industries. Its octagon-shaped body with baffles ensures continuous tumbling and uniform blending while operating at a low RPM, preventing heat generation and product degradation.
In the pharmaceutical industry, the Octagonal Blender is widely used for mixing powder formulations, crystalline materials, and lubricating granules before compression. In the nutraceutical and food sector, it ensures precise blending of health supplements, proteins, and spices, while in the chemical and cosmetic industries it is ideal for powders, resins, and cosmetic base materials.
The blender is designed with easy charging and discharging options, including butterfly valves, bin charging systems, and vacuum powder transfer, ensuring dust-free operation and GMP compliance. Its Zero Position Stop / Home Position Stop feature ensures the drum halts at the correct position for safe and convenient loading and unloading, reducing handling time and improving process efficiency.
Manufactured from premium stainless steel SS316/304, the blender is available in a wide range of capacities from 5 kg (R&D scale) to 5000 kg / up to 500 cubic feet (production scale). Equipped with removable baffles, butterfly valves, PLC + HMI automation, and vacuum powder transfer systems, it delivers efficient, dust-free, and homogenous mixing.
Compared to V-blenders or double cone blenders, the Octagonal Blender occupies less space, offers higher batch capacity, and ensures gentle yet effective mixing of crystalline and granular materials. Its easy cleaning, low maintenance, and energy-efficient design make it the preferred choice for industries requiring precision, hygiene, and reliability in blending operations.
