Operations with high cross-contamination potential (e.g., mixtures of test or control articles with animal diets) are often conducted in small, dedicated, individual cubicles equipped with special and separate air-handling systems or are conducted under a fume hood. Special mixing equipment (e.g., enclosed twin-shell blenders) can be used to reduce the chance of cross-contamination.

Solid—solid blending can be accomplished by a number of techniques. Some of the most common include mechanical agitation which includes devices such as ribbon blenders, impellers, paddle mixers, orbiting screws, etc a rotary fixed container which includes twin-shell (Vee) and double-cone blenders and fluidization, in which air is used to blend some fine powders. 

Mineral-filled nylon 6/6 composites. Kaolin (Burgess) was treated with the appropriate silane in a Patterson Kelly 8-qt. twin shell blender with intensifier bar. Treatment levels were 1% active silane. The kaolin was compounded with nylon 6,6 (Vydyne 21x—Monsanto) in a Leistritz twin screw extruder. The compounds were tested in a dry as molded condition in accordance with ASTM D-638 (see Table 5).

The powder produced in the prior operation is combined with the second active ingredient (B2), as well as several other excipients in a twin-shell blender and mixed for several min. For reasons previously discussed, mix time is of interest, and thus it is listed as a critical process step. 

Pre-Extrusion Blending. Based on the moisture contents of the corn starch and various protein sources, blends of 0,5,15,30, and 50% (dry weight) of each protein source were made by first dry mixing for 10 minutes in a Paterson-Kelly Model LB-P-8 twin shell blender followed by the appropriate amount of 20°C tap water to obtain a total moisture content of either 15 or 25% (wet basis). The moistened mixtures were then blended for an additional 20 minutes followed by overnight equilibration at room temperature in air-tight bags. 

Blending of small batches, up to about 4.5 kg (10 lb) is most frequently done in wide-mouth jars, placed on horizontal rollers, tumbling at approximately 15 rpm for about 20 min. Larger, commercial batches, sizes typically 10 to 136 kg (22 to 300 lb) are often prepared in twin-shell blenders (Figure 4.10) by tumbling 15 min at 24 rpm. The blend is screened again, transferred into a storage vessel, and allowed to age for at least 12 hours.8...

Test Methods. All dispersions were prepared by twin shell blending of the dispersed phase followed by thorough stir-in mixing of the dispersed phase into the liquid matrix. Polymerization was in silicone molds in a thermostated pressure reactor at 20 psi for 1 hr at 60 °C. Sample preparation was by the method of American Dental Association Specification 12.

Industrial equipment. Rotating-shell mixers or tumbling mixers are shown in Fig. 3. Drum-type, cubical-shaped, double-cone, and twin-shell blenders with their axis of rotation horizontal to the center of the drum on its axis increase crossflow and improve the mixing action. Cubical and polyhedron-shaped... 

Effective mixing of solids is also accomplished by rotating the sample for some time in a ball mill or a twin-shell V-blender. The latter consists of two connected cylinders that form a V-shaped container for the sample. As the blender is rotated, the sample is split and recombined with each rotation, leading to highly efficient mixing.
