OptimaBlend® Fluidizing Paddle Blender by American Process Systems® was introduced to the market in 2003. It is the most innovative addition to our comprehensive line of APS blending equipment, offering a balance of mixing speed and efficiency with low equipment cost and consumed power.

OptimaBlend® eliminates roll apart segregation caused by gravity when mixing ingredients of greatly varying density, shape, and size by mechanical fluidization. Fluidization is achieved by a combination of a defined geometry lifting action with a triple paddle, multi-zoned rotor turning about 80% faster than a traditional ribbon blender. Incredibly precise low Coefficient of Variation (CV) blends are achieved in less than two minutes for most powdered ingredients.

Working capacity: from 1.5 cubic feet up to 400 cubic feet. Learn more about the Lab Size FPB-1P5.
