L.B. Bohle LM Series Laboratory Blenders

L.B. Bohle has developed its LM Series of Laboratory Blenders as part of a highly efficient range of solutions for homogeneous blending of pharmaceutical solids that use a revolutionary and patented counter-current process principle to mix elements within the blending container.

The success of the blending equipment and if the LM Series for R&D and small scales has made
L.B. Bohle one of the world’s leading manufacturers of container mixers for the pharmaceutical industry, noted for advanced design and exceptional quality in materials and engineering.

LM 40 Laboratory Blender design and features

The LM 40 Laboratory Blender is optimized for research and development. Its blending container rotates around a single axis, saving space and minimizing footprint in the lab. The unit is mounted on a castored trolley, making it mobile and easy to wheel into place.

The LM Laboratory Blender is powered by an alternating current motor arranged in the machine housing that also incorporates the device control, making the machine even more compact.

The blender incorporates a fork load lift system that can load and unload containers equipped with adapter pipes. Optionally, square containers, drums, dual-cone containers, V-shells, and other special containers can be used for blending. An optional mobile lifter makes all containers and bowls even easier to remove.

Secured Scale-Up

The L.B. Bohle Blending System makes it easier and more secure to scale-up to the desired production size. The LM counter-current blending method is shared with L.B. Bohle’s PM Series Container Blenders making it easier to scale up and tech transfer laboratory-developed processes to a production-scale blender.

The counter-current blending process also prevents contamination of the operators and the product during the process.

This state-of-the-art blender also meets current GMP requirements regarding design, operation and control.
