1.Multiple shell blenders can be replaced, the entire blending operation can be done in one small room. Cross contamination is a non-issue as product will not be exposed to the blending room environment.
2.Reduced Labor Costs. Fixed shell blenders take a long time to fill and empty. Compared to bin blending, there can be as much as twice the material handling. Generally, fixed shell blenders are loaded from the floor above by gravity or by a vacuum. This means that all the products have to be handled from the dispensary (weighing area) and then discharged again into the blender (versus loading directly in the bin). As opposed to bin blending, the loading process is usually dusty, not ergonomic, and labor intensive. In a bin blending operation, the materials are loaded directly into the bin, which can take place in the dispensary and easily done in a high-containment method.
3.Increase Product Quality. Fixed shell blenders require the products to be transferred after blending into a drum or bin. Every time the product is transferred, some segregation can take place. In a bin blending operation, the product is transferred to the next operation directly from the bin (blending container). Furthermore, in many operations one or two steps that used to require that the product be exposed to the room or additional fall tubes, vacuum systems, etc., can be eliminated, thereby reducing the chance of foreign substances entering the product. Increase Finish Product Output: Your total amount of blends per day is only limited to the amount of bins. Example: if you have 20 bins you can have 20 finished blends a day. The reason is that you do not have to clean the base unit. Thus giving you up-time savings.
