Technical Specification & Application

An Octagonal Blender is a slow-speed, effective mixing machine utilized in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries for homogeneous blending of dry powders and granules. Its octagonal shape guarantees soft but efficient mixing, thus proving suitable for delicate formulations.

Technical Specifications of Octagonal Blender

  1. Material of Construction

Stainless Steel (SS 316L for contact parts, SS 304 for non-contact parts) – provides durability, corrosion resistance, and GMP and FDA compliance.

Mirror or Matt Finish – to aid in easy cleaning and reduced product retention.

  1. Capacity Range

10 liters to 10,000 liters depending on batch size requirements.

  1. Blending Mechanism

Octagonal-shaped drum to increase uniform blending with lower attrition.

Slow-speed tumbling action (10–25 RPM) to avoid degradation of fragile granules.

Baffles within the drum enhance mixing efficiency.

  1. Drive System

Gearbox drive motor for smooth and controlled operation.

Power range: 0.5 HP – 15 HP (dependent on capacity).

  1. Safety Features

Limit switch & interlock system inhibits running when loading/unloading doors are open.

Emergency stop button to ensure instant shutdown in case of breakdown.

Dust-tight construction reduces the risk of contamination.

  1. Loading & Unloading Mechanism

Vacuum or manual loading options.

Butterfly or slide valve for simple discharge of mixed material.

  1. Control System

PLC-based control panel (optional) for automatic batch processing.

Digital timer and speed control for process optimization.

  1. Cleaning & Maintenance

Easy cleaning design with few dead spaces.

CIP (Clean-in-Place) option available for quicker turnaround.

Applications of Octagonal Blender in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Uniform Blending of Dry Granules & Powders

Ensures uniform mixing of excipients, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and lubricants prior to tablet compression or capsule filling.

Gentle Treatment of Delicate Formulations

Ideal for heat-sensitive or fragile products because of low-speed mixing.

Blending Large Volumes Effectively

Octagonal design maximizes mixing volume, minimizing batch processing time.

Multi-Industry Uses

Applied in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food, cosmetics, and chemical industries for powder blending.

Regulatory Compliance

Engineered to satisfy cGMP, FDA, and WHO standards for pharmaceutical production.

Why is it called an "Octagonal" Blender?
The blender has an eight-sided (octagonal) shape, which helps create a tumbling and cascading motion, ensuring uniform mixing with minimal powder attrition or particle degradation.
What are the key advantages of an Octagonal Blender?
Ideal for fragile, free-flowing powders Low power consumption Gentle blending action Easy to load and unload High capacity-to-footprint ratio Suitable for hygienic, GMP-compliant environments
What are the typical applications?
Final blending of granules before tableting or encapsulation Mixing of bulk powders in food or nutraceutical production Blending ingredients in cosmetic powders and personal care products
What capacities are available?
Models typically range from: 25 liters to 5000 liters Custom capacities can be manufactured on request.
What materials are used in construction?
All contact parts are made of SS 304 or SS 316/316L Non-contact parts can be SS or MS with durable paint or powder coating Optional mirror or matt finish available for easy cleaning
Is the Octagonal Blender cGMP compliant?
Yes, all our blenders are designed to comply with cGMP and FDA guidelines with: Crevice-free construction Easy-to-clean surfaces Sanitary tri-clamp fittings (optional)
How is the material loaded and discharged?
Loading: Through a conical hopper, butterfly valve, or bin system Discharge: Via a bottom discharge butterfly valve or manual outlet Optional vacuum loading and bin charging systems are also available.
Is there an option for intensifier bars or baffles?
Yes, intensifier bars or baffles can be added if required to improve mixing efficiency for materials with low flow characteristics.
Are safety features included?
Yes, standard safety features include: Limit switches on the cover Emergency stop button Interlock systems Guard rails or enclosure (for larger models)
Is a variable speed option available?
Yes, a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) can be integrated for variable blending speeds based on your product’s characteristics.
