Description
The table blender is a compact unit, it consists of a centrifugal pump with a venturi system at the suction side and a hopper with a butterfly valve at the upper part to add solids / powders to the pumped liquid. In this blender, the suction and ventury system are set horizontally. If necessary, an in-line mixer can be installed after the centrifugal pump to reduce the size of possible lumps.
The venturi system and the suction of the pump create depression at the base of the hopper. When the valve of the hopper opens, the solids are drawn from the hopper and are totally dissolved when they pass through the casing of the pump.
To achieve the best possible dissolution, it is recommended to recirculate the product (batch production) till all the solid / powder product is suctioned and then, when the solid product is completely incorporated into the liquid, continue recirculating the product for a while. In some cases, the blender can be used in-line depending on the solid product to add and the required level of dissolution.
