Starting from the principles ‘faster and more compact’ and on the basis of the existing Vrieco-Nauta mixers, Hosokawa Micron has developed a new variant of a batch mixer, an excellent mid shear mixer under the name Vitomix
Unique Advantages Vitomix - reliability of a Vrieco-Nauta mixer, but 6-8 times faster mixing
- addition of liquids or fat, without use of lump breakers
- coating powders with powders
- combination of fast and gentle mixing
- mixing slurries, pastes or emulsions in a breeze
Vitomix in Action!
Faster and more compact The first striking aspect of the Vitomix is its extremely compact design. Thanks to a partly cylindrical form (instead of the completely conical shape of the Vrieco-Nauta mixer), the same volume is achieved with a considerably reduced structural height.
A second important distinction of the Vitomix is the double ribbon screw used in the design of this mixer.
In combination with the larger diameter of the screws, and therefore also a higher transport capacity per unit of time.
High transport capacity The double screws, the higher rotational speed and larger diameter results in a transport capacity which is up to eight times higher and a substantial improvement in mixing efficiency. Even at lower linear speeds a much more efficient and therefore faster mixing process is achieved.
Hosokawa Micron B.V., your mixing partner, now offers a complete range of mixers by expanding with mid shear mixing. By introducing the Intensomix and the Vitomix, Hosokawa Micron B.V. creates great possibilities for the chemical, food and pharma industry.
Both mixers are available in Doetinchem for performing test and production runs.
