Marion high-speed choppers help users to get optimum blending results

High-speed choppers make mixing easier.

Firing Industries Ltd. supplies top industrial processing solutions to Canadian businesses from many major manufacturers, and among the most recent additions to this family is Marion Process Solutions. A common problem in mixing applications is agglomerations – which is why Marion has developed its unique line of high-speed choppers. By adding these innovative devices to a mixer, manufacturing operations can resolve this issue effectively and efficiently to get the optimum blending results.

For reduced blending times

Many manufacturers experience trouble breaking up agglomerates in their blends in mixing tasks, which means they must whip the mixture. Marion high-speed choppers from Firing Industries deliver major advantages that maximize mixing operations. These choppers greatly reduce blending times and offer better mixing results.

Sized for the specific application, Marion high-speed choppers come with various cutting head blade configurations to provide the appropriate tools for the task. Mounted through the side of the trough wall, the mixer’s agitator constantly brings material into the chopper’s dispersion zone, where the cutting edges on the intensive blades easily tear apart and circulate lumps and agglomerates at 3,600 revolutions per minute. They also break up liquid-rich shot balls, open matted fibrous material, and distribute pigment.

High-speed choppers offer top blending results in the following applications and more:

• Blending dry pharmaceutical preparations with thick liquid binders;
• Blending PVC resins, oily plasticizers, fillers, and pigments;
• Breaking up agglomerations in slurry blends;
• Dispersing coloured pigments into grouts and cements, which decreases mixing time from seven to three minutes;
• Dispersing hard-to-mix flavourings and nutrient additives in nutraceutical drink powder, lowering mixing time from 20 to two minutes;
• Incorporating blocks of shortening into bakery mixes; and
• Mixing agglomerated pigments into plastic powder.

Marion test mixers are available to use in its laboratory or for delivery onsite to a plant, for customers who want a test demonstration of how these high-speed choppers can help improve their mixing and blending processes. Experts from Marion and Firing Industries can offer more information on how to create a competitive advantage and increase revenue and profits.
