At LTPM CHINA, we specialize in advanced mixing technologies that streamline powder processing from start to finish. Our mixers are engineered to handle everything from free-flowing ingredients to sticky, cohesive powders. Whether you're scaling up or improving consistency, our powder mixers are built to solve real factory challenges—batch after batch.

Targeted at professionals in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical manufacturing, LTPM CHINA mixers eliminate blending inconsistencies and reduce operating costs.

Common Types of Dry Powder Mixers

V-Type Mixers

These mixers feature a V-shaped container that allows powders to flow easily within the unit. The V-type mixer is ideal for gentle mixing of dry powders and granules.

Best for: precise, small-batch blending.
Design: Two V-shaped cylinders joined at an angle.
Applications: vitamins, lab-scale mixes.

3D Motion Mixers

Designed to handle powders with large differences in particle size or density, 3D mixers use multi-dimensional movement to achieve uniform mixing.

Best for: mixing products with extremely different bulk densities.
Design: The barrel moves in three-dimensional space.
Applications: food additives, nutritional supplements.

Double Cone Mixers

Similar in functionality to V-type mixers, double cone mixers use gentle tumbling action to blend dry powders without applying significant shear force.

Best for: gentle mixing of fragile or sensitive materials.
Design: Two symmetrical cones rotating on a central axis.
Applications: pharmaceutical powders, cosmetic ingredients.

Ribbon Mixers

Ribbon mixers consist of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a double helical agitator. They are ideal for mixing free-flowing powders and granules.

Best for: homogenous mixing of dry powders and granules.
Design: U-shaped horizontal trough with inner and outer ribbons.
Applications: protein powder, milk powder, spice blends.

Industry Applications

Our mixers are built for production environments that demand hygiene, precision, and scalability:

• Food Processing: flour, cocoa powder, premixes, seasonings.
• Pharmaceutical: API ingredients, excipients, herbal powders.
• Cosmetics: talcum powder, clay, color pigments.
• Chemicals: pesticides, resin powders, silica.

Key Considerations for Choosing a Powder Mixer

1.Material Properties

The characteristics of the powders—such as particle size, flowability, and cohesiveness—affect the type of mixer needed. For free-flowing powders, ribbon or V-type mixers are appropriate. For cohesive or sticky powders, high-shear mixers like ploughshare mixers are more suitable.

2.Batch Size

The production scale plays a crucial role in determining the type of mixer. Batch mixers like V-type or double cone mixers are more appropriate for small to medium-scale operations, while continuous mixers suit large-scale production.

3.Mixing Time and Speed

Different materials require different mixing intensities. Gentle mixers, such as V-type or ribbon mixers, are ideal for fragile materials. For more intensive applications, ploughshare or double movement mixers provide the necessary high shear.

4.Cleaning and Maintenance

For industries such as pharmaceuticals, where contamination is a concern, ease of cleaning is critical. Machines like ribbon or double cone mixers are typically easier to clean, making them suitable for environments with strict hygiene standards.

5.Cost and Durability

Besides the initial purchase cost, factors such as maintenance, energy consumption, and operational efficiency should be considered. Ribbon and V-type mixers tend to be cost-effective, while more complex high-shear mixers offer faster production but at a higher price.

Choosing the right dry powder mixer is essential for ensuring efficiency and consistency in production. By understanding the material properties, batch requirements, and operational constraints, you can select the best mixer for your specific needs. For more tailored solutions, CONTACT US.
