Vertical Batch Mixing Machine for Chemical Industry

Vertical Batch Mixing Machine for Chemical Industry

The VerticalBatch Mixing Machine is an essential processing unit for the chemical industry, designed to ensure uniform, efficient, and repeatable mixing of dry powders, granules, pastes, or viscous materials in batch operations. Known for its compact vertical design, this mixer optimizes space utilization while delivering superior blending performance with minimal material loss.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a vertical batch mixing machine used for?
It's used for blending or homogenizing chemical powders, granules, pastes, or liquids in small to medium-sized batches.
What industries commonly use this machine?
Primarily used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, detergent, and agrochemical industries.
What materials can it mix?
It can handle a wide range of materials, including reactive chemicals, powders, adhesives, resins, pigments, and emulsions.
What capacities are available?
Typically available from 50 liters to 5000 liters, customizable based on client needs.
Is it suitable for hazardous materials?
Yes. With ATEX certification and proper sealing, it can handle volatile or hazardous substances safely.
What kind of mixing action does it use?
Vertical mixers often use conical screw, paddle, or ribbon-type agitators for efficient axial and radial mixing.
Is the mixer easy to clean?
Yes. Many models include CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems, quick-access doors, and easy-disassemble parts.
Can it be automated?
Absolutely. The mixer supports PLC/SCADA-based control panels with batch memory, temperature, and speed control.
Does it support heating or cooling?
Yes. Jacketed versions allow integration of heating/cooling systems using steam, oil, or chilled water.
Is customization available?
Yes. We offer custom options for material of construction, agitator design, discharge systems, and more.
