PATTERSON Industries Canada "The Process
Equipment People" due to its long time involvement with the process industries
designs, engineers and manufactures a new advanced concept in Laboratory Blending.The PATTERSON
Porta-Shell® is a unique laboratory blender with interchangeable shells.
The versatile PATTERSON Porta-Shell® will save countless man-hours in lab research and
process development.
Design Features:
- Three interchangeable shell configurations: Cone, Vee and Ribbon type.
- Two lightweight shell materials - acrylic and stainless steel.
- Seven shell sizes - Cone and Vee available in 3, 6 and 10 quart sizes. Ribbon type
available in 10 quart working capacity.
- Easy to assemble, operate and clean.
- Single enclosed power base for all shells.
- 0-5 minute timer for setting a predetermined cycle.
- Liquid to solid addition in Cone and Vee Shells.
- Disperser Bar and ribbon remain with shell.
- The shells can be moved from power base for cleaning or sterilizing.
- The shell with its charge of blended materials can be removed from the power base for
assay or comparison, moved to next operation or stored for future use.
- A Tilting Ribbon Mixer available to provide complete discharge.
- Interchangeable shells eliminate cross contamination, i.e., drugs, flavors, aromas and
colors.
- Contains product between operations to eliminate product contamination, or dust and
health related hazards.
- Liquid disperser bar atomizes liquid to provide uniform dispersion.
- Anti-friction bearings with seals eliminate shaft replacement.
- Shaft seal easily replaced.
- Predictable scale-up of time and product to production size Blenders.
The Disintegrator is an attrition device for breaking up lumps or impinging solids on
solids. As a liquid disperser, it creates a fine mist inside a self-created cavern in the
tumbling particle mass. A rapidly changing array of solid particles is exposed to the
liquid mist, but there is no clear path by which liquid can get lost by wetting inner
walls of the shells.
The Disperser Bar Assembly consists of an annular chamber with two pairs of mounted
discs. As the assembly rotates at 2800 rpm, liquid from the liquid feed tube is thrown by
centrifugal force against the inner tube of the chamber, through holes in the inner tube
to the outer tube. It then flows horizontally toward two pairs of discs, then out through
the disc orifices, in the form of very fine droplets to the solid particles.
Units can be individually designed to customer's material specifications and process
parameters. |

PATTERSON
Laboratory size Mini Porta-Shell®
Blending System
Design Features:
- PATTERSON
Mini Porta-Shell®
Blending System consisting of Power Base
with Controls and one Vee Shell, Stainless Steel, 128 ml total
volume Shell Assembly with Intensifier-Liquid Addition feature.
-
Service:
Blending
of batches of powders with densities to 60 lbs/cu.ft., having
relatively free flowing characteristics and non-hygroscopic in
nature/behavior. Liquid
Addition System designed for liquid with the viscosity of water.
Drive designed for typical Laboratory/Research &
Development batch cycle times.
- The Power Base
is supplied assembled and ready for operation, and includes a main
motor, chain and sprocket shell drive, consisting of a shell yoke
with bolted clamp for securing the blender body, supported in
flanged ball bearings. The
Intensifier Drive includes a rear drive shaft supported by both
ball and needle bearings in the shell yoke, and is driven at
approx. 3000 RPM through vee belt and sheaves by an AC motor.
Both motors are open type, fan cooled, brushless for Argon
gas atmosphere (non explosion proof motors) suitable for 110 volt,
single phase, 60 cycle, A/C current input.
Controls consist of a main power switch, plus on/off
switches for each motor, 0 to 100 minutes digital timer and fuse
for the Mini Porta Shell® Blender Body Drive Motor and a 6 foot,
3-wire power cord with ground.
-
Shell:
The
PATTERSON
Mini Porta-Shell®
Blender Shell is constructed of 316 stainless
steel with smooth 2B finish and designed for Intensifier - Liquid
Addition as a standard. The
shell is self-contained, including anti-friction bearing cartridge
assembly, intermediate intensifier shaft, shaft seal and
dispersion bar which is removable from the intermediate
intensifier shaft and a bearing cartridge which can be removed
from the trunnions. Vee
Shell has 3 openings (1-1/2" diameter) all with clamp
fittings and wing nuts.
