How the V Blender Works
ROSS V Blenders are ideal for highly accurate and repeatable mixing of powders, granules, and other free-flowing solids. These can be designed to handle extremely high bulk densities and intimately blend very minor ingredients. Materials are constantly being intermixed as the V rotates. One main advantage to tumble blending is that it is very low-impact and able to mix friable materials without compromising integrity. Another advantage is the vessel geometry which allows for complete discharge while also being easy to access and clean.
V Blenders can be supplied with intensifier bars to assist with deagglomeration as needed. Discharge is accomplished through a butterfly valve 24” from the floor. All units are provided with appropriate safety railings and limit switch interlocks.
