GARDNER Double Cone Blenders are gentle tumble action gravity blenders, making them ideal for fragile and abrasive products alike.

The ‘end-over-end’ tumble action is supplemented and enhanced by internal multi-shear deflector plates, which provide a crossover blending action as the blender cone rotates.

Supported by externally mounted stud arms and bearings, resulting in the Double Cone Blender having no internal shaft seals. This results in an extremely simple and hygienic design to clean and maintain.

In addition, the outlet valve provides ‘total-discharge’ of the material, with no carry-over from batch to batch.

Typical features of the GARDNER Double Cone Blender include:

• Low energy mixing
• Internal multi-shear reflector plates
• Large Capacity Range
• Easy-clean design
• Total discharge design
