There are three methods to load Blenders.

1. LOADING BY CONTAINER : Here the container brought close to the blender on special trolley having lifting arrangement. This lifting pellet ensures that the container is lifted and is aligned with the transition piece fixed with the blender outlet butterfly valve. This transition piece mouth is clamped with the outer periphery of the container using special types of clamps. Now after clamping the container(100 Lits approx) the blender is inched till the container is vertically inverted over the blender. Now once the container reaches upward inverted position, the butterfly valve is made to open by special hand wheel so that entire content of the container gets up loaded in to the blender. Once it becomes empty, the valve is closed & container is brought again downward by rotating the blender again by 180* and another container is fixed and raised and in similar way and this way entire powder content is unloaded. By this method, material is loaded in batches of 50Kg each.
2. LOADING BY IPC : Here by using mobile hoist the IPC’s of 220 lits are raised over the blender and through dust free connection the entire powder content is unloaded in to the blender by opening the butterfly valve. Thus material gets loaded through IPC’s and also after blending the discharged material also gets unloaded in to IPC’s using another dust free connection set. There is a butterfly at the discharge. For loading blender there is one opening made on the lid of the blender or lid for manhole of the blender. This way entire transfer of material is dust free.
3. LOADING BY VACUUM : Here by application of vacuum the entire blender is loaded using pneumatic conveying system. Blender container has two openings and through one such opening is connected to the vacuum blower and through other it is connected to the IPC’s bottom portion which has a triclover arrangement. So the powder from IPC’s gets transferred to the blender using vacuum conveying. This is entirely dust free but expensive method.

Pneumatic Automatic powder charging system is provided duly mounted on a swivelling davit interlocked with sensor to safeguard against blender. It is provided with a SS suction nozzle coupled to a flexible PVC food quality conveying pipe to enable for direct suction of the powder from container which will be discharged in blender and on complete charging of batch or maximum upto 70-80% by volume, filter bag of charging system may automatically be cleaned by auto reverse pulse jet mechanism thereby safeguarding against operator dependency, charging system may be swivelling on side and locked in that position which will actuate the sensor for that position, a dummy cover to be clamped on charging hole & homogeneous blending action can be initiated by starting the blender operation. After necessary blending period the material can be discharged & collected from bottom into container by manually opening the butterfly valve. The entire auto charging system is a tool free assembly.
