IBC Blender & Optional NIR 

Optimise blending times 

Batch changeovers are instantaneous with SMED. No need to clean between recipe batches as the IBC is the blending vessel – simply remove & clean offline. High mixer OEE rates are achievable, which maximises production capacity.

Tumble blending on an asymmetric axis achieves blend uniformity and is a well-established efficient alternative to traditional fixed mixers.

Blend times can be further optimized using NIR as it monitors homogeneity in real time. Blend times can be reduced & over-mixing prevented without the need for invasive sampling.

Batch volume flexibility is achievable with IBCs ranging from 500L to 3,300L and the ability to fill IBCs at 20% of capacity.
