ProBlendTM Zone Blender Introduced at PTXi 2008

See the New Zone Blender at the Powder and Bulk Solids Show, May 6-8, 2008, Donald E. Stevens Convention Center, Rosemont, Illinois, Booth 1328

SALINA, KS (April 4, 2008) -- The ProBlendTM Zone Blender, designed for blending or homogenizing free flowing bulk material within a hopper or silo, will be introduced at the Powder Show in Chicago, May 6-8, 2008. With its special geometric shape, the compact and simple Zone Blender provides multiple flow zones in which the material can pass through at different velocities and residence times. As a result, the discharged material contains a uniformed blend of material from the hopper or silo.

The Zone Blender uses a combination of mass flow with funnel flow to help homogenize the blend and reduce the effect of segregation in re-circulating, batch or continuous systems, or any application requiring the blending of materials.

Premier will be in Booth 1328 at the Powder and Bulk Solids Show, now part of PTXi 2008, located in the Donald E. Stevens Convention Center, Rosemont, Illinois, from May 6-8, 2008.
