The V-type mixer is designed for uniform blending of powdered materials. It is suitable for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, metallurgy, and electronics, where blending of two or more dry powdery or granular materials is required. The V-type mixer features a unique blending drum structure that uses mechanical transmission to cause reciprocating movement of materials within the V-shaped cylinder, achieving uniform blending. The blending drums are typically made of stainless steel, with polished inner and outer walls. The structural design ensures there are no dead corners where material can accumulate, offering the advantages of no dead corners, non-caking, fast speed, short mixing time, and easy cleaning. The main body of the V-type mixer consists of a container formed by welding two cylindrical shells, which is asymmetric in shape relative to the axis. During the rotational movement, the mixed materials continuously alternate, split, and merge repeatedly within the inclined cylinder.
Advantages:
1. Fast mixing speed, short time.
2. Free from mechanical compression and severe abrasion, it maintains the integrity of material particles, making it less prone to breakage.
3. Non-accumulative, easy and thorough cleaning.
Shortcomings:
1. Limited capacity, generally suitable for laboratory or pilot production lines.
2. The degree of automation is not high; manual operation is required for material discharge. During the blending of ternary materials, the materials are randomly transferred from one cylindrical drum to the other, causing slippage between the mixed particles. This leads to multiple superimpositions in space, with particles continuously distributing on the newly formed surfaces. This process of shearing and diffusing the mixture is repeated until it is uniformly blended.
