Custom Powder Systems

Highly Engaged Employees

Custom Powder Systems is actually a containment company, so as a containment company, the company offers many different solutions for customers. The advantages of bin blending over v-blending are: you don't have to have so much downtime to wash the v-blender between campaigns. If you're a nutraceutical manufacturer or if you're a contract manufactu... rer, and you're making ten different products, well customer A doesn't want customer B's product getting cross-contamination. Or even for the same customer, you don't want cross-contamination of any of your products. When you use bin blending, your product is completely contained within that bin, and it blends. You can be blending for days on end with the same products going through, and suddenly, the sales department needs a batch of product B. You stop it, you put in the new bin with the new product, and then you can continue on back with the original product. When you have a v-blender, you end up with an 8 to 10 or even a 16 hour shutdown, cleaning, "Let me run the new product. When you get that batch out, sales is happy now, but now I've got another 8 to 16 hour cleaning before I can go back to what I was originally doing. Bin blending is a huge advantage, but there are some customers who aren't able to switch from v-blending to bin blending. For those customers, the company can provide an updated, new machine and save them operating costs, save them downtime, for the older machines.Read More
