What is a V Blender?

A V Blender, also known as a V Cone Blender, is a dry mixing machine used for blending free-flowing powders and granules. The equipment consists of two hollow cylindrical shells joined at an angle between 72° and 90°, forming a “V” shape. During operation, the blender rotates on trunnions, causing the materials to repeatedly split and recombine, resulting in uniform mixing.

This design is especially suitable for fragile materials where minimal shear and attrition are critical.

Working Principle of the V Blender

The working principle of the V Blender is based on tumbling and diffusion mixing.

1. Material Charging
   Powders or granules are charged into the blender through designated inlet ports.

2. Rotational Motion
   The V-shaped shell rotates at a controlled speed, creating a tumbling motion.

3. Splitting and Recombining
   As the blender rotates, material repeatedly divides and converges at the junction of the V, enhancing diffusion-based mixing.

4. De-agglomeration (Optional)
   Intensifier bars assist in breaking soft agglomerates and improving blend uniformity.

5. Discharge
   After the blending cycle is complete, material is discharged completely through butterfly valves without residue.

This gentle yet effective mechanism ensures homogeneous blends with minimal energy input.
