Tapered Auger Vertical Blender, Waconia Manufacturing
Waconia TA Series blenders feature a mix tank and inload hopper mounted on scales and supported by a sturdy frame make of 6- x 6-inch 7GA stainless steel angle. Inside, a 42- to 22-inch auger gently but rapidly moves materials within the unit. A wide variety of discharge conveyors are available.
Layco Volumetric Blender, Yargus Manufacturing
Highly versatile, the Layco Volumetric Blend System can be set up three ways, using gain of weight, volumetric, or declining weight technology. Yargus says compared with other multi-feed volumetric blender systems, its stainless steel rotary valves more accurately meter product and are easier to clean and serivce.
Multi-Blender DW, Ranco Fertiservice
The Ranco Multi-Blender DW promises fast, accurate, continous-flow blending. Its declining weigh technology monitors the output of each product during blending and continually adjusts for any variability caused by density or flowability changes. Controls are computer-compatible, and the entire system is easily expandable for future growth.
TriTon blender, The A.J. Sackett & Sons Co.
The TriTon blender has a unique three load cell scale system mounted over 3 feet above the ground, out of the fertilizer. The unit’s flat front makes loading faster and safer while improving flow rates into the blending tank.
Speed King Blender, Speed King/CrustBuster
The Speed King Blender has a large-diameter, tapered mixing screw that quickly but gently draws material into the mixing vessel and creates a very intense and complete mixing action, says the company. The unit has only one externally mounted bearing to service. The Speed King’s blender vessel, inload hopper, motor mount, belt guard, support legs, and gate are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.
Lo-Pro 102 vertical blender, Adams Fertilizer Equipment
Adams has introduced a new 13-ton vertical blender for 2011. The Lo-Pro 102 has a new low profile height of 16-feet, 4-inches, has a wider more stable base, heavier duty scale assembly that is powder-coat painted, larger intake and discharge, extra large gear reduction box, and a 75 hp chemical duty electric motor.
13 Ton Direct Drive Rotary Blender, Doyle Equipment Manufacturing
The Doyle 13 Ton Direct Drive Rotary Blender is the industry’s fastest, says the company. Using fewer parts than traditional chain drive blenders, the direct drive system has a heavy duty planetary gearbox, coupled to a TEFC motor. This rotary blender is made of stainless steel and features a heavy duty mild steel blender frame.
Minuteman 2 , R&R Manufacturing
The Minuteman 2 has been designed with several important features, including a low inload height (5-feet, 9-inches) for ease of filling, partial load blending option and the ability to start under-load. The unit also is equipped with a direct drive, so there’s no need for belts, sheaves or bushings. Plus, its lower horsepower requirements offer significant electrical savings.
H.I.M. High Intensity Mixer, The A.J. Sackett & Sons Co.
Sackett’s H.I.M. High Intensity Mixer offers the highest blend quality, least fertilizer degradation, best impregnation/ micronutrient mixing, and fastest production times, says the company. Here’s how it works: The mixer is placed in a blend tower where a weight hopper top loads it; after just 30 seconds of blending, twin bomb-bay doors open to discharge the entie batch in seconds.
Rotary Blender, Adams Fertilizer Equipment
The Adams Rotary Blender has a gearbox drive on the drum with double reduction for torque — and drum revolutions can be regulated to match loadout conveyor or elevator capacity. The blender is available in 5-, 8-, and 10-ton capacities. Its weight hopper knives and pivots are elevated for protection.
