Each unit has the capacity to blend up to 12mt of product per hour*
Multiple units in series increases production capacity accordingly
Existing user states it can produce 16 x 1MT or 2MT blends a day across two shifts
No need to “mirror” existing plant infrastructure to double production

Extremely Low Minimum Batch Quantity

No heating element or agitator length restrictions
Blend vessel is only used to circulate/ store fluid during process therefore could even be an IBC

Ease Of Re-Blending
