Vertical Mixers – Compact and Clean Mixing Solutions for Industrial Use
Vertical mixers find a very important application in mixing of powders, granules and feed ingredients in industries. These machines mix gently and effectively by raising material upward using an agitator and then letting gravity draw it back down. The machines do not require a large horizontal footprint. INCMachine features entire vertical series of mixers-conical screw, vertical ribbon and conical ribbon mixers-which are engineered as full-discharge and no-residue.
Vertical mixers are preferred where batch-wise mixing is required providing good control in ingredient mixing with hygienic and space efficiency advantages. They are suitable in processes that need dependable mixing in fields such as feed, food, plastics, agriculture and chemicals.
The Main Components that are shared amongst all Vertical Mixers
The models in the vertical mixer family have an important set of advantages in common:
- Full drainage ensured by vertical structure and shape of a cone
- Tight vertical design suited to facilities with a small amount of floor space
- Minimal energy needed relative to horizontal or rotary mixers
- Soft mixing that does not destroy or damage sensitive or delicate materials
- Sturdy structural material of stainless or carbon steel
- Possible extras like the weighing systems jackets, liquid injection or PLC controls
Vertical mixers types with INCMachine
- Conical Screw mixer
Conical screw mixer is a kind of mixer with a conical vessel and its screw agitator is vertically positioned. The screw moves material up the ridge towards the point of the cone once which it then free-falls over the walls. This is natural flow that allows total mixing without much shearing which is suitable when it comes to heat sensitive products, or delicate products. Its conical bottom makes it easy to clean and the entire discharge to be possible.
Areas of application: feed mixture, chemical powders, agricultural products
Benefits: a light move, complete experience, little power consumption
- Vertical Ribbon Mixer
A central ribbon-shaped agitator is being utilized in a cylindrical vertical tank in this design. The ribbon swings the materials upwards and the gravity forces them back to the bottom leading to fast upward-downward cycle mixing. Due to design, a batch mixing time is shorter compared to the conventional screw-only mixing mixers
Field of use: dry powdered preparation, food additive, pharmaceuticals
Benefits: quick mix, light on the product, fills at 10 to 90 percent fill point
- Conical Ribbon Mixer
The conical ribbon mixer combines the characteristics of the conical and the ribbon mixers. Three-dimensional mixing is performed in a ribbon agitator in a conical vessel. This brings together the practical functionality of a ribbon-type agitator coupled with the smooth nature of conical shape, which result in clean mixing devoid of residue.
Fields of activity: chemical powder feed specialty goods
Strengths: the 3D mixing, complete discharge, non-porous inner surfaces which are easily cleanable
Pros of INCMachine Vertical Mixers
Full Drain and No Residue
Every mixer ensures complete emptying and excludes the possibility of material gathering or contamination between batches.
Compact Footprint
Tall containers reduce consumption of floor space- a good feature to use during smaller plants or buildings that have height as an option but not width.
Energy Efficiency
These mixers require less power as compared to the large horizontal systems because they are low speed.
Quick Cleaning
It is easily cleaned, which is necessary in food and pharmaceutical industries due to conical bottoms and smooth interior walls making it easy to clean.
Optional Enhancements
Available options that are customizable are the heating/ cooled jacket, liquid injection lances, weighing systems, PLC panels, and CIP cleaning.
Industrial Applications
Animal Feed
Vertical mixers combine grains, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals into feed that is of high quality. Mild movement saves grain and grains.
Food Processing
Employed in Cereal blends, baked mixes, nutritional powders, spices and dry material. Ribbon and conical ribbon mixers preserve quality of ingredients.
Pharmaceutical
This is perfect to mix active ingredients and excipients. Vertical mixers guarantee the consistency of the dose and satisfy high-level hygienic demands.
Chemical Powders
Works well as a fertilizer, pigment, coating and plastic additives. The full discharge disallows cross-discharge.
Plastics
Colored or additive-filled plastic pellets also are advantageously subjected to low-shear. Vertical ribbon or conical mixers are used with this sort of blending.
Agrochemicals and Agriculture
The addition of seed coatings, fertilizers, pesticides, or feed supplements is easy and tidy, owing to complete discharge and cleanliness management.
The Proper Way to Select the Desired Vertical Mixer
- Choose the best mixer by cogitating
- Material characteristics- particle density flow behavior
- The volume of the batches and the mixing time
- Intensity of mixing required (moderate, gentle)
- Sanitation needs and rate of cleaning
- Income Available headroom vs floor space
- Non-compulsory functions such as weighing, jackets or liquid injection
INCMachine is a source of professional advice, technical specification and pilot testing that guarantees adequate mixer selection and integration
Example Comparisons
| Type of mixer | Best use | Strength |
| Conical Screw | Heat sensitive / fine powders | Low shear |
| Vertical Ribbon | Quick mix powder | Faster mixture than screw |
| Conical Ribbon | 3D mixing in conical vessel | Effective and clean work |
