The Buck Systems™ Prism™ has been developed to aid and improve blending of powdered and granular materials.
The Prism™ adds low shear mixing to the rotating IBC, adding to the turbulence of the tumbling product and improving the time to homogenously blend products.
When the IBC is loaded into the blender, the Prism™ is orientated at right angles to the rotation axis. As the IBC is rotated, the product is divided up by the Prism™, and product is forced outwards to the corners of the IBC.
The Prism™ is of particular benefit to dry blend processes, where IBC blending is the key process step: dry blending or direct compression products the powders are more cohesive and have poorer flow properties, dry powders take noticeably longer to blend in comparison to free flowing granular materials (for example the dispersion of magnesium stereate into a granulated batch) which blend easily and within a relatively short period of time.
The Prism™ is fully welded into the container body, and can be fully cleaned in place with the Buck Systems™ Wash Station.
