Dual Shaft Blenders

Dual Shaft blenders come in a wide variety of types and are used for many applications. They are made of two tubs set side by side, with one shaft sitting in the middle of each, thus dual shafts. The shafts can be driven by a single motor via a cross-over drive, turning the second shaft.
Or they can be driven by two different motors. These shafts can turn in the same direction, opposite directions, or reverse direction from time to time. The two main shafts can overlap, i.e., so close together that each is pulling product away from the other.
Or they can be just far enough apart to keep them from touching. With independent drive motors on each shaft, you can work one shaft against the other shaft and even run them at different rpm speeds or in different directions. They can use any type of ribbon-style or blade-style blender, such as our fluidizer, which is used on other industrial machines.

Ordering Yours

If you have an interest in our industrial mixers, please contact one of our application blending design experts. Dual Shaft blenders tend to be application-specific, and we can help you determine which type you need. Like our other blenders, they can be made in pharmaceutical grade, nutraceutical grade, food grade, or chemical grade machines. Materials can be 316 stainless steel, 304 ss, exotic steels, or even mild steel, and painted your choice of colors.
We have made continuous models of dual-shaft blenders ranging from small sizes up to 700 cu ft, as well as auto-reversing, high-performance blenders. They can be designed with an end discharge, bottom discharge, bomb bay door discharge, or any other type chosen for a customer’s specific application.

Showroom Blenders

We produced the showroom blenders for two of the nation’s largest nutraceutical manufacturers. Each company selected a 350 cu ft blender for their showroom. One company chose a low bacteria/mirror finish on both the inside and outside of the blender, including the frame and motor mount. Both companies are exceptionally proud of their real-life production showrooms and use them for their customer tours.
