What is blender’s critical speed?

It is the speed where


the tangential
acceleration caused BLENDER
by the rotation equals
the acceleration.

Blending & Mixing

 What rotation rates should be used?

 Should filling levels be the same?

 How long should the blender be operated?

 Are variations to the blender geometry


between scales acceptable?

What is Froude number?

Fr =[2R]/g

where,
 is the rotation rate,
R is the vessel radius, and
g is the acceleration due to gravity
