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.

Fabulous V-Blender for Laboratory Use
Vortex laboratory V mixer is ideal for blending a wide range of applications including powder, pellet, granules, particles, and solid materials. V-type blender consists of two inclined cylinders attached together in the form of “V”. When the shaft start rotating, the mixing materials in the V mixing chamber are made to back and forth and turn over again and again. The distinguished feature of V type blender is material being blended are splitted into two cylinders when the junction is at the top of mixing chamber. With the repeated rotation of V type mixing chamber, the materials kept splitting and combining. And along the movement of splitting and the spreading, materials achieving the goal of homogeneity. The gentle but thorough agitation of V-type blender is very effective for mixing pellets, granules and fragile materials.
Pictured is an V-type lab use blender with 5L volume, it’s working volume is 2-3L with motor power of 0.55kw. Meanwhile, with all part made of stainless steel 304, both interior and exterior are polished, this blender not only has elegant appearance but also easy to clean out. And the V-type design ensure nearly 100% completely discharge. Designed for pilot-scale production from 2L to 30L, vortex laboratory use V-type blender are especially advantageous for products containing fragile material or where only small quantities are batched due to limited demand or short pot life. Standard, heavy-duty, explosion-proof and sanitary models are available. For instance, one of our customer purchase one set of 5L V-type Blender for white granule sugar blending. With the feedback of good work and excellent blending result from our customer, we are very proud of this blender.
