Lindor's blender is a vendor's delight

Lindor will be showing its new 10l 'gentle-touch blender for the first time. This table-top mixing machine gives results that can be extrapolated and applied to the larger units.

The blender is an ideal pilot plant and lab machine for producing small, trial batches and special orders, as well as performing experimental work, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry.

The horizontally mounted rotating drum design is entirely free of separately moving parts, such as mixing blades and impellers that apply shear forces to the product and cause deterioration both mechanically and as a result of friction-induced heating.

Blending is achieved instead by tapered scoops that are an integral part of the inner surface of the drum. Running the full length of the drum, these scoops induce a non-degrading, three dimensional figure-of-eight flow pattern in the product.

The mixing drum is absolutely free of 'dead' spaces, so that all material is equally blended, and the machines are self-emptying with virtually 100% discharge. Mixing times are typically between just one and four minutes, which also protects the product. Energy savings on all Lindor machines apply because no external mixing mechanisms are required.
