What is a Small V Blender used for?
What is a Small V Blender used for?

A Small V Blender is designed for the homogeneous dry blending of powders and granules in small-scale operations. It's ideal for Research & Development (R&D), laboratory testing, pilot projects, and low-volume production in industries like pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, food, and specialty chemicals

What are the key advantages of a Small V-shaped blender?
What are the key advantages of a Small V-shaped blender?
  • Superior Mixing Action: The V-shaped vessel creates a gentle splitting and folding motion, ensuring a uniform, homogeneous blend without damaging fragile particles.

  • Rapid Blend Times: Achieves thorough mixing much faster than simple tumblers or ribbon blenders for free-flowing materials.

  • Easy to Clean & Discharge: The single valve at the intersection allows for complete, residue-free discharge and simplifies cleaning (often designed for CIP/SIP).

  • Minimal Cross-Contamination: With no internal blades or seals in the product zone, it's excellent for batch-to-batch changeovers.

What is the typical capacity range for a "Small" V Blender?
What is the typical capacity range for a "Small" V Blender?

Small or lab-scale V Blenders typically range from 0.5 liters (0.1 gallon) up to 100 liters (26 gallons) of total vessel volume. Working capacity is usually 50-60% of the total volume for optimal mixing efficiency.

What construction materials are available?
What construction materials are available?
  • Contact Parts: Common options include 304 or 316L Stainless Steel (polished to various finishes, e.g., Ra<0.8µm for pharma), with glass or specialty coatings available.

  • Frame: Painted carbon steel or stainless steel.

Are Small V Blenders compliant with industry standards?
Are Small V Blenders compliant with industry standards?

Yes. High-quality models are built to meet cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines, FDA requirements for food and pharma, and can include documentation packages (DQ/IQ/OQ) for validation.

Can I add an intensifier bar or chopper?
Can I add an intensifier bar or chopper?

Absolutely. Many small V blenders can be fitted with a high-speed intensifier bar to de-lump agglomerates or incorporate minor liquid components. This is crucial for creating perfect cosmetic powders or pharmaceutical formulations.

How is the blender controlled?
How is the blender controlled?

Options range from simple variable frequency drive (VFD) panels for speed control to advanced PLC-based touchscreen interfaces with recipe management, data logging, and integration capabilities.

How do I clean a Small V Blender?
How do I clean a Small V Blender?

Cleaning is straightforward. Most models feature:

  • Quick Release Clamps for easy vessel disassembly.

  • Spray Ball Assemblies for Clean-in-Place (CIP).

  • Smooth, polished interiors with no dead zones to prevent material buildup.

How do I determine the right size for my application?
How do I determine the right size for my application?

Consider your batch size (in kg/lbs) and the bulk density of your material. Our experts can help you calculate the ideal total volume. It's best to test a sample of your product in our demonstration facility to confirm blend time and performance.
