Overview of Lab Scale Blenders
Lab scale blenders, also known as lab blenders, are specialized equipment most often used by the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. These advanced tools can mix a wide variety of ingredients or compounds in precise amounts for experiments, formulations, or product development. Active in diverse applications, lab scale blenders are suitable for handling dry powders, granules, pellets, and other solid forms. Their versatility is evident in applications ranging from spice blends, baking mixes, and food supplements to polymer blends, composite fillers, and pharmaceutical powders.
Durability and Efficiency
METO Systems’ lab scale blender ensures durability and reliability in demanding environments. It is uniquely designed for blending efficiency and safety, operating at 110 volts with a 20-amp circuit.
