Many production processes are based around batch sizes of 1,500 to 2,000 litres. This makes the MB400 ideally suited for blending tenth scale validation batches.

The MB400 is ideal for use as a production blender for smaller batch sizes.

Blending Containers
 


The MB400 can handle any shape of blending container:
- Drums
- IBCs
- Double Cones
- V shells (these are sometimes called Vee Cones or Y Cones)
- Cubes etc.

Why use a Tilting Blender?
  The ability of the MB400 to tilt back ensures:
• A highly efficient asymmetric blending action is achieved
• Minimal Manual Handling - the blending container is lifted from its trolley, blended and then returned to its trolley
