Granules batch blender V Cone

for fragile productspowderbulk solids

Product Overview
V Cone Blender (also called V Blender or V Cone Mixer) designed for uniform, low-shear and contamination-minimised blending of dry powders and granules. Suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food and chemical industries. Available from laboratory R&D units to production-scale machines with GMP-compliant construction.

Key Features

• Capacity range: laboratory models up to 5000 kg production batches
• Product-contact material: SS316 (SS316L available for cGMP applications)
• Non-contact material: SS304 or mild steel cladded with SS304
• Variable speed control (VFD) and digital timer for repeatable blending
• Polished internal surfaces and easy-to-clean geometry for hygienic operation
• Safety railing with interlock and emergency stop; push-button control panel standard
• Multiple discharge options: TC-ended outlet, butterfly valves (6" / 10"), pneumatic discharge on request

Models & Typical Capacities

• Laboratory scale: 2 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg (gross volumes: 6 L / 15 L / 30 L)
• Production scale: 100 kg (300 L gross), 200 kg (600 L gross), 500 kg (1500 L gross)
• Custom and larger industrial capacities available up to 5000 kg per batch

Working Principle
The V Cone Blender uses a tumbling/diffusion principle: the V-shaped vessel rotates about a horizontal axis so material continuously splits and recombines, promoting diffusion-based mixing. This yields homogeneous blends with minimal shear and no internal agitators, reducing contamination risk and product degradation.

Applications

• Pharmaceutical active ingredients and excipients (GMP-regulated processes)
• Nutraceutical formulations and food ingredient blends
• Chemical powders, cosmetic powders and specialty materials
• Fragile, hygroscopic and low-density materials

Safety, Controls & Options

• Safety railing with interlock and emergency stop
• Standard push-button panel; PLC + HMI and automation options available
• VFD speed control, digital timer and repeatable cycle settings
• Tool-free access panels, modular components and quick-disconnect fittings for maintenance
• Optional pneumatic discharge, customised fittings and material-specific finishes

Additional Notes
Specifications may vary according to bulk density, material characteristics and customer customisation. cGMP-compliant models typically use SS316L for product-contact parts with polished internal surfaces for hygienic cleaning.
