Powder Mixer: Vertical Screw Mixer | JCT Machinery

Vertical screw mixer, also known as vertical ribbon mixer or vertical conical screw mixer, is an industrial mixing equipment used for uniform mixing of dry powder and particles. It consists of a vertical conical mixing chamber and a helical screw or ribbon auger that rotates around a central axis. The design of the screw and mixing chamber promotes efficient and uniform mixing of materials.

Vertical screw mixer is a professional powder mixing equipment.

Key Features of Vertical Screw Mixer

1. Vertical configuration

The mixing chamber is oriented vertically, allowing for a gravity-assiisted material flow. This design is suitable for applications where a downward flow is desired.

2. Mixing action

As the screw rotates, it lifts the material from the bottom to the top of the mixing chamber and then allows it to cascade down. This lifting and cascading action promotes thorough blending and prevents material segregation.

3. Uniform mixing

The vertical design and screw geometry contribute to a gentle yet effective mixing process, ensuring that the materials are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.

4. Material discharge

Themixed material can be discharged from the bottom of the mixing chamber. Some vertical screw mixers may have a discharge valve or chute for controlled material flow.

5. Batch or continuous operation

Vertical screw mixer can be designed for either batch or continuous operation, depending on the specific requirements of the application.

6. Variable speed and control

Many vertical screw mixera are equipped with variable speed controls, allowing operators to adjust the mixing speed according to the type of material being processed and the desired mixing intensity.

7. Versatility

Vertical screw mixers are versatile and suitable for a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, chemicals, plastics and more.
