Gravity blender and the diversity of blending technologies by P+W
What are blending silos?
Blending silos are gravity blenders. Another prevailing term is homogenising silos instead of blending silos. Often the creation of horizontal layers with differing quality can be observed when silos are in batch production. Depending on the product characteristics and flow properties, different blenders are used in order to achieve a higher grade of homogeneity.

- Blending silo with central pipe blender
- Blending silo with cone blender
- Blending silo with screw mixer
Which bulk goods are suitable for PW blending silos?
Generally spoken blending silos are suitable for all free flowing and powdery bulk goods as well as granules.
Advantages of our PW blending silos:
To cover a wide range of bulk goods, our blending silos are available as aluminium and stainless steel models. In order to ensure a quick and economic mixing of bulk goods, we compare the required mixing level (homogeneity) and the required amount of time. We determine the most economic blending silo solution for you by choosing the right operating mode (continous or discontinous) and examining the product's properties by running a bulk material analysis.
Central pipe blender
Central pipe blender
Our central pipe blender sets standards in mixing technology. It enables a uniform blending of materials, resulting in outstanding product quality. The name "central pipe blender" derives from the central axis or central pipe that plays a crucial role in the blending process. The unique P+W design allows for product discharge across the entire height, thus avoiding asymmetrical flow zones that can lead to increased stress on the silo's structural integrity.
Advantages:
- Uniform blending
- Smooth mass flow of bulk materials
- Special P+W design for enhanced blending quality
Screw Mixer
Screw Mixer
Mechanical mixing in our screw mixers can guarantee thorough and uniform homogenization even for a wide variety of difficult-flowing bulk materials. Industries such as food processing, chemicals and plastics manufacturing benefit from our solutions.
Advantages:
- Difficult-flowing raw materials can be thoroughly mixed
Pipe blenders
Pipe blenders
Our pipe blenders deliver reliable blending performance at high throughput rates. Free-flowing products are optimally fed into the blending process from various levels, ensuring an optimal blending result in a very short processing time.
Advantages:
- High throughput capacity
- Cost-effective blending
- Special P+W design
Cone blender
Cone blender
Our cone blenders are perfectly suited for delicate materials and specific batches. It is one of the most cost-effective blending solutions available. This blender can be seamlessly integrated into existing facilities. The cone blender is easily cleaned, providing an advantage when switching between product batches.
Advantages:
- Cost-effective blending solution
- Easily and quickly expandable in existing facilities
- Rapid and straightforward funnel cleaning possible
