PerMix V-Blender

Vessel & Motion

• Composed of two cylindrical legs forming a “V” geometry, which rotates horizontally to continuously tumble product
• This tumbling motion repeatedly divides and recombines material, promoting uniform mixing without internal agitators

Seals & Intensification Options

• Sealed Design: All bearings and seals are external to the product zone, eliminating lubricant contamination risk
• Intensifier Bars / Internal Baffles (optional): For powders with cohesion or bridging tendencies, intensifier bars help break agglomerates during tumbling

Temperature & Vacuum Capability

• Heating / Cooling Jackets: Dual-shell, dimple, or half-pipe jackets for temperature control during mixing or mild drying
• Vacuum / Deaeration Option: Removes entrapped air or moisture, increasing blend density and reducing oxidation risk
• Combined Vacuum V-Blender / Dryer: Blend and partially dry in the same machine for added efficiency

Loading & Discharge

• Feed via top ports, vacuum transfer, or manual loading
• Discharge via sanitary valves (butterfly, semi-ball, slide gate), with tilting vessel options for difficult materials
• Designs strive for complete discharge with minimal residues to reduce cleaning time and cross-contamination risk

1. Loading – powders or granules enter the V vessel under controlled loading conditions
2. Tumbling Motion – as the vessel rotates, material divides and recombines continuously, promoting mixing without shear
3. Intensification (if fitted) – internal bars or baffles break up lumps or assist mixing in cohesive systems
4. Vacuum / Deaeration (if active) – a vacuum pump draws off air/moisture, densifying the blend and lowering moisture content
5. Temperature Control – jackets regulate vessel temperature, limiting heat build-up in sensitive materials
6. Discharge – final product is emptied through designed valve systems or tilting mechanisms

Because the motion is gentle, V-Blenders excel with delicate APIs, flavours, food powders, pigments, and materials with low fragility tolerance.

• Standard & Lab to Production Sizes: From small lab units to industrial capacities
• Material choices: 304 / 316L stainless as baseline, with optional Hastelloy, Titanium, Duplex, etc.
• Surface finish & polish: Food / pharma grade finishes, weld rounding, electropolish as needed
• Vacuum / Dryer modules: Integration available for drying processes
• Heating / Cooling jacket options
• Intensifier Bars or Internal Choppers
• Instrumentation & Control: Sensors (temp, vacuum, pressure), load cells, PLC/HMI with recipe storage
• Explosion-proof builds: ATEX compliance for hazardous environments
• Cleaning & hygiene features: CIP capability, inspection ports, drain ports
• Sampling / monitoring ports

PerMix V-Blenders are used across sectors where gentle but effective mixing is needed:

• Pharmaceuticals / Nutraceuticals: Uniform blending of APIs, excipients, coating powders
• Food & Beverage: Spice blends, pre-mix powders, flavour systems
• Fine Chemicals / Pigments: Mixing powders where shear might degrade particles
• Cosmetics & Pigment Powders: Blending pigments, additives, ultra-fine powders
• Chemical Formulations / Detergents: Mixing free-flowing powders

Example: A UK pharmaceutical facility blends micronised APIs with excipients in a vacuum V-Blender to densify the mix before tablet compression, all in one vessel with minimal transfers.

• Gentle on materials: Minimal shear, no internal agitators
• No contamination risk: Seals are kept out of the product chamber
• Low maintenance & long service life
• Optional blending + drying: Saves footprint and utility cost
• Regulatory readiness: Designed for UKCA, CE, GMP, ATEX
• Local UK/EU support: Commissioning, validation, spares, technical service

To pick the right unit, consider:

• Batch volume and desired throughput
• Material flow properties (cohesive, free-flowing, particle size)
• Need for vacuum / moisture removal
• Temperature sensitivity or heat control needs
• Material compatibility (abrasion, corrosion)
• Cleaning, validation, and hygiene requirements
• Discharge / integration requirements

Our PerMix UK engineers can match your process specs to a properly dimensioned and optimally configured V-Blender (or vacuum companion version).

If you need gentle, uniform blending with optional vacuum and drying capability — especially for regulated sectors — the PerMix V-Blender (UK version) might be your ideal solution.

Get in touch with PerMix UK with your product specs (bulk density, particle size, moisture, fragility), throughput goals, and integration constraints. We’ll help specify and deliver a V-Blender that aligns with your UK/EU plant standards and performance goals.

Performance Born from Engineering Excellence

DP Pulverizers designs and builds mills that transform production efficiency. Every model is developed using computational airflow analysis, high-tolerance machining, and precision balancing, ensuring micron-accurate results and continuous uptime.

Our systems are built from stainless steel, Hardox, or alloy steels to suit your application — whether it’s fine sugar powders, conductive graphite, or cryogenically ground polymers. Each design meets ATEX, GMP, and CE standards, ready for industrial and pharmaceutical environments across Europe.

Our Range of Milling Solutions

Pin Mills
Delivering fine, consistent particle reduction for spices, starches, and chemical powders with high energy efficiency and minimal heat generation.

Turbo Mills
Engineered for high-speed micronizing of plastics, pigments, and resins, turbo mills use controlled turbulence for fine results without overheating.

Hammer Mills
The robust, heavy-duty solution for bulk grinding and granulation in food, minerals, and biomass processing. Available in Hardox for abrasive products.

Jet Mills
Utilizing compressed air rather than moving parts, jet mills achieve sub-5-micron fineness ideal for pharmaceutical and nano-material production.

Cryogenic Mills
Low-temperature milling using liquid nitrogen keeps materials stable, preventing softening or clumping — essential for elastomers, thermoplastics, and fine foods.

Universal Mills
A versatile platform that adapts to pin, hammer, or turbo configurations, perfect for manufacturers handling multiple product types on one line.

Cone Mills (Comils)
For gentle deagglomeration and uniform sizing, cone mills are a clean, quiet option for final powder conditioning and pre-mix applications.
