High-Performance Vertical Mixers for Industrial Applications
Space Saving. Homogeneous Mixing. Reliable Performance.
Vertical process mixers consist of a vertical cylindrical vessel equipped with a rotating mixing element mounted on a single vertical shaft.
The vertical configuration enables material lifting and gravitational recirculation, resulting in effective mixing with a smaller installation footprint.
Material is continuously lifted upward by the mixing element and allowed to flow downward along the vessel walls, creating vertical circulation of particles.
Engineering Advantages
- Space-efficient installation
- Large batch capacities
- Low power consumption
- Effective mixing of bulk powders

| Mixing Principle |
A centrally mounted helical ribbon lifts materials from the bottom along the cone wall and central channel to the top surface. Materials cascade back by gravity, creating efficient vertical multi-circulation. Close clearance creates shear to break clumps and ensure uniform mixing. Full wall coverage prevents stagnant zones. |
• Lifts materials from bottom to top ensuring complete turnover • Operates at controlled speed (~100 rpm) to create fluidization zone • Ideal for delicate products requiring gentle handling |
| Application |
• Polymer raw material mixing • Chemical powder blending • Mineral powder processing • Food ingredient mixing |
• Powder blending • Food ingredient mixing • Chemical powders • Cosmetic powders • Pigments |
| Configuration | Description |
|---|---|
| Jacketed | The mixing vessel can be equipped with a heating or cooling jacket for temperature-controlled mixing processes such as coating, drying, or chemical reactions. |
| Pressure or Vacuum Operation | Designed for processes requiring vacuum mixing, degassing, or inert gas environments. |
| Liquid Injection | Allows controlled injection of liquid additives, binders, oils, or solvents during mixing. |
| CIP (Clean-in-Place) | CIP systems enable automatic cleaning of the mixer interior, especially useful for pharmaceutical and food processing applications. |
