Product Specification Sheet
Double Cone Blender
Model Number: MTMI-09
The Double Cone Blender from Micro Technologies is designed for homogeneous mixing of dry powders and granules. All product-contact parts are manufactured from stainless steel for durable and hygienic operation. Its rotating double-cone design provides gentle tumbling and efficient blending, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, chemical, food, nutraceutical and industrial powder-processing applications.
Product Specification
The Double Cone Blender is a versatile powder-processing machine designed for uniform blending of dry powders and granules. Its double-cone-shaped vessel rotates around a horizontal axis, continuously tumbling the material to achieve effective mixing with minimal mechanical stress.
All contact parts are made from stainless steel, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean surface suitable for applications where cleanliness and product compatibility are important.
For optimum mixing performance, the effective working volume is generally maintained at approximately 35% to 70% of the gross vessel volume, depending on the characteristics of the material being processed.
The blender is commonly used for dry powder mixing in tablet and capsule formulations. It is also suitable for blending granules during suitable processing stages.
The gentle tumbling action makes the Double Cone Blender particularly useful for free-flowing powders and granules where excessive shear is undesirable.
Its enclosed vessel design helps minimize material loss and contamination during normal operation while providing convenient loading, blending and discharge.

Working Principle
Rotating Double Cone Vessel
The mixing vessel rotates around its horizontal axis, causing the material inside to repeatedly tumble, divide and recombine.
Gentle Powder Mixing
The tumbling action provides controlled blending without requiring aggressive agitators, making the equipment suitable for compatible dry powders and granules.
Homogeneous Blending
Continuous movement of the material through different sections of the vessel promotes uniform distribution of ingredients throughout the batch.
Controlled Batch Loading
For effective blending, the vessel should not normally be completely filled. An appropriate working volume allows sufficient space for the material to tumble freely.
Mixing Capacity
Effective Working Volume
For optimum homogeneous mixing, the effective material volume is generally maintained at approximately 35% to 70% of the gross vessel volume.
The exact loading percentage can vary according to:
- Powder density
- Particle size
- Flow characteristics
- Batch composition
- Mixing time
- Required blend uniformity
Construction Features
Stainless Steel Contact Parts
All parts coming into direct contact with the processed material are manufactured from stainless steel for durability, cleanliness and corrosion resistance.
Double Cone Design
The geometrical shape promotes continuous movement of powder from one section of the vessel to another during rotation.
Supporting Frame
A strong supporting structure holds the rotating vessel securely and provides stability during mixing operations.
Discharge Arrangement
The lower discharge point allows blended material to be removed conveniently after completion of the mixing cycle.
