Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

Double Cone Blender with Control Panel
Double Cone blender with button control panel deliver superior batch to batch consistency in the mixing of high fluidity flour, granular and particles applications. Vortex company equips helical blade inside the double cone vessel to disperse the accumulation as well as the materials move along with wall of vessel when the double cone blender start. This make the mixing action ideal for homogenous mixing and without the risk of break the particle size during mixing.
Pictured is vortex model VMS-1000 double cone blender with a working capacity of 500L. The material contact part made of stainless steel and non-contact part made of carbon steel. The stainless-steel surface polished to 240grit finish and carbon steel surface is well painted.
The 10 rpm of barrel revolution speed and 10 rpm of blade revolution speed of VMS-1000 double cone blender revolves around the batch. The butterfly valve at one end of cone provided for materials discharge and hole with openable cover provided at the other cone for materials charging and cleaning. It’s an ideal design for requirement of less materials residue. The inner surface employs mirror polish further improve the fluidity of material. Customer could get nearly 100% discharge of materials.
In this VMS-1000 double cone blender, solid raw materials could be added through inlet port. Mounted to the mixer is button control panel capable of controlling of mixer’s on and off, rotation speeds, emergency stop and safety interlock.
At last, this VMS-1000 double cone blender has 4mm of barrel thickness, this not only make sure the durability of blender, but has elegant appearance.
We provide the double cone blender with mixing capacity from 100L to 28000L. Normal cycle times are typically in the range of 10 minutes; however, they can be less depending on the difficulty of blending. Vortex always focus on the best quality and service.
