Description
A GlobePharma twin-shell blender shell in stainless steel, model BLRD02, 6 quart capacity, part reference B102720.
A twin-shell (V-type) blender has no impeller. As the shell rotates, the charge splits between the two arms and recombines at the junction on every revolution, which mixes free-flowing powders and granules with very low shear. That matters in pharmaceutical work, where an impeller can attrit granules or de-mix a lubricated blend.
- Model: BLRD02
- Capacity: 6 quarts
- Material: stainless steel
- Weight: 25 lb
- Part reference: B102720
Overall dimensions and charging-opening size are not stated in the source listing — ask us to confirm them if you are matching an existing drive stand. This listing covers the blender shell; the drive stand is a separate item.
Frequently asked questions
What is the capacity?+
6 quarts, model BLRD02. Usable fill is well below the geometric volume — twin-shell blenders are normally charged to roughly half to two-thirds of capacity so the material has room to cascade.
What are the dimensions?+
The source listing gives a weight of 25 lb but does not state overall dimensions or the charging-opening size. Ask us to confirm both before ordering if you need to match an existing frame.
What is it made from?+
Stainless steel, chosen for cleanability and corrosion resistance in pharmaceutical powder handling. The listing does not state the specific grade or internal surface finish.
Does this include the drive stand?+
This listing covers the blender shell itself. Confirm the drive stand and its mounting arrangement with us before ordering.
How does it differ from the 4 quart shell?+
Capacity: this is the 6 quart BLRD02 (part B102720); the 4 quart shell is part B102723 and is listed at 16 x 16 x 8 in. with a 6 in. opening. Both are stainless twin-shell geometry.
Why a twin-shell rather than a paddle or ribbon blender?+
A twin-shell blender tumbles the charge with no impeller, so it mixes at very low shear. That protects friable granules and avoids the heat and attrition a high-shear blender introduces.
