Need a high purity solvent blend? A new explosion-proof, stainless steel blending system, designed and constructed in-house, was recently put into service for the manufacture of solvent-based blends. The 500 gallon portable, stand-alone unit on a self-contained skid has all stainless steel fittings and tubing and all Teflon gaskets to make it fully compatible with solvent-based blends. It was designed with features to facilitate flexibility including the ability to change the filtration profile and inert gas blanketing. System features include:
- 316L Stainless Steel construction
- Crevice free welds to minimize particulates and contaminants
- Teflon gaskets
- Clean In Place (CIP) capability with Teflon spray ball to insure complete rinse coverage, thereby eliminating cross-contamination concerns
- 500 Gallon Capacity
- Offset Impeller used for optimization of mixing
- Filtration Bank to enable the use of different filtration media from bag filters to eliminate large particles to 0.1 µ cartridge filters
- Headspace purging with inert gas
- Explosion Proof (Class I; Division 1) to insure safe operation
- Solids or Liquids addition hopper
- Statistical Process Control Capability via flow meters and pressure gauges
