Yes. Vortex can customize the mixer according to your process requirements.
Possible options include:
- Heating or cooling jackets
- Vacuum operation
- Positive-pressure operation
- Special sealing systems
- High-wear-resistant surfaces
- Special discharge systems
- High-speed choppers
- Different materials of construction
- GMP-oriented designs
- Explosion-proof or other special configurations where applicable
For special operating conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, flammable, explosive, or corrosive materials, detailed process information is required for equipment selection and design.
A Ploughshare Mixer is often suitable for materials that tend to agglomerate.
Its plough-shaped mixing tools generate intensive circulation of the material, while optional high-speed choppers can break up lumps and agglomerates during mixing.
The final selection should be based on the material characteristics and process requirements.
Yes. Depending on the mixer design, Vortex mixes can process powder-to-powder, powder-to-granule, and granule-to-granule mixing. For example, horizontal ribbon mixers are suitable for powders, granules, and powders with a small amount of liquid. Double-shaft paddle mixers are also widely used for powders and granules with different bulk densities.
Vortex mixers are designed for a wide variety of powders, granules, and powder-liquid mixtures.
Typical applications include chemical powders, food ingredients, pharmaceutical powders, animal feed, dry mortar, ceramics, battery materials, fertilizers, pesticides, minerals, refractory materials, and other bulk solids. The actual mixer configuration should be selected according to the physical and chemical properties of the material.
Vortex mixing equipment is used in a wide range of industries, including:
Chemical; Food; Pharmaceutical; Battery and lithium-ion materials; Building materials; Dry mortar; Ceramics; Feed; Agricultural chemicals; Refractory materials; Minerals and other bulk-solid processing industries.
Different industries may require different mixer configurations and sanitary, sealing, wear-resistance, or process-control requirements.
Vortex manufacture a wide range of industrial powder and bulk solids mixing equipment, including:
- Horizontal Ribbon Mixers
- Ploughshare Mixers
- Double Shaft Paddle Mixers (Paddle Mixers / “No-Gravity” Mixers)
- Conical Twin-Screw Mixers
- Vertical Screw Ribbon Mixers
- Double Cone Mixers
- V-Type Mixers
- 3D Motion Mixers
- Customized mixing systems and complete mixing lines
The most suitable mixer depends on your materials, production capacity, mixing ratio, required mixing time, and process conditions.
Mixer capacity should be evaluated using both the total vessel volume and the effective working volume. The required volume depends on material bulk density, batch weight, filling ratio and the mixing principle of the selected machine. A mixer should not normally be filled to its total geometric volume because sufficient space is required for material movement and effective mixing. For this reason, selecting a mixer based only on vessel volume can result in an unsuitable configuration.
Please send us the following information:
- Material name
- Material bulk density
- Mixing ratio
- Required batch size or production capacity
- Mixing time, if known
- Whether liquid needs to be added
- Required mixer type, if known
- Special operating conditions
- Destination country
If you are unsure which model is suitable, simply send us your material and process information. Vortex can recommend a suitable mixer and provide a quotation.
The appropriate industrial powder mixer depends on several factors, including:
- Material characteristics
- Bulk density
- Particle size
- Required mixing uniformity
- Batch size or production capacity
- Moisture content
- Whether heating or drying is required
- Whether liquid addition is required
- Required discharge configuration
- Production and automation requirements
Vortex provides different powder mixer designs so that equipment can be selected according to the specific process requirements.
Yes. Heating jackets can be installed on suitable mixers to heat and dry materials during processing. This can be useful when the production process requires controlled heating or moisture removal.
Yes. Several of Vortex mixer designs can be equipped with liquid spraying or liquid addition systems. For applications involving a relatively high liquid content or materials that tend to form lumps, a ploughshare mixer equipped with high-speed choppers can be considered. The choppers help break up agglomerates and improve dispersion.
Vortex powder mixer selection depends on several factors, including:
- Material type and characteristics
- Bulk density and particle size
- Material flowability
- Moisture content
- Viscosity
- Mixing ratio
- Batch size or required production capacity
- Whether liquid addition is required
- Required mixing uniformity
- Temperature, pressure, vacuum, or other process requirements
Vortex engineers can recommend a suitable powder mixer based on your material and process requirements.
Yes, We can supply simple stand alone panels or automated PLC controlled systems. We normally install and test all controls on our mixers before they are shipped.
Yes, we normally test the mixers before they are shipped and mark out the wire need to connect on the control box.
We manufacture specialty mixing equipment for powder & bulk materials. Included are ribbon blender, plough mixer, conical screw mixer, twin shaft paddle mixer, V blender, double cone blender and other auxiliary equipment such as screw conveyor, quantitive auger filler.
We sell across the world, our cusotmers distribute 5 continents.
The installation for a single mixer is simple, just lay the mixer to proper place, and then conned the ground bolts. If customer need vortex installation service, we could arrange our engineer with extra fee.
Vortex could custom design the mixer as per URS, below is some examples:
- custom design the drive unit, in case the mixing materials is heavy;
- the inlet style and size
- the discharge valve’s type and size
- the extension leg and height
- the control panel function
- heat jacket, cool jacket
- vacuum condition
- drying materials
- adjust to match auxiliary equipment, such as screw conveyor, vacuum conveyor, vibration sieve, packing machine.
Vortex mixer always equip international brand motor, reducer, bearing and other components. Meanwhile, our price is competitive among professional mixer manufacturers.
Vortex company always choose worldwide well reputated brand as our supplier, such as Siemens motor, ABB motor, SEW reducer, SKF bearing, NSK bearing, Schneider frequency inverter, etc
