Dry blenders are industrial blenders that work with dry materials, such as chemicals and plastics. They are not meant to break down components, but to ensure a smooth blend. They typically blend for 15-30 minutes and can handle small amounts of liquid. There are five main types of dry blender models.
Most home blenders are liquid blenders made to work with wet components, such as milk and juice, and are generally only for food. A dry blender is an industrial blender made to work with dry materials and can be used in the creation of foods, chemicals, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Although the components are mostly dry, traces of liquid may be added to aid mixing or to modify the components. Dry blend units tend to have short blending times, around 15-30 minutes, and there are different types of blenders that have different blending components.
A dry blender, as the name suggests, is intended for working with dry materials. Unlike wet blenders, which are made to break down components and combine them, dry blenders are not meant to break down components. Instead, these blenders are more concerned with ensuring that a blend is smooth or balanced. These blenders are made for industrial purposes, so they are not found on the regular consumer market.
While a dry blender should only work with dry materials, this is often not the case. A small amount of liquid is typically added to a batch, either to aid mixing or to change the composition of the mix. This means that most dry blenders are technically wet and dry blenders, capable of handling both types of materials.
A dry blender is more about balancing the materials than waiting for them to react, as with wet blending, so the total amount of blending time is short compared to wet materials, especially from an industrial standpoint. On average, a dry blender will need to blend the materials for approximately 15-30 minutes before the materials are homogenized. The amount of time depends on the components, their density and the concentration of the material.
In the realm of dry blenders, there are five main types of blender models. A ribbon or paddle blender uses a ribbon or paddle shaped blender unit to agitate components. A double-cone blender has a cone at the top and bottom and is made primarily for free-flowing solids. Vertical blenders stand upright and have an internal mixing screw that agitates the materials. With V-shaped blenders, there are two cones shaped together to look like a V; the design allows materials to mix with each other to reach a homogeneous state.
