The Agimix Y-type mixer features “Y”-shaped vessels, offering performance similar to the V-type, but with a distinct geometry that adapts better to certain production processes.
This model is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and cosmetic industries, especially where sanitary finish and strict hygiene standards are required.
Main advantages:
Like the V-type, the Y-type mixer ensures high mixing efficiency, low friction, and process reliability.
The Agimix V-type mixer is designed with two cylinders joined in a "V" shape, ensuring a fast, homogeneous, and gentle mixing of solids and powders with low moisture content.
Thanks to its design, the product is constantly divided and redistributed inside the mixing chamber, achieving homogeneity levels with a deviation of less than 3% in just 3 to 10 minutes.
This model stands out for:
Common applications: pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and cosmetic industries, where precision and component integrity are essential.
Check out this video highlighting the operation of V, Y and Biconic mixers.
Although both achieve similar performance in terms of homogeneity and mixing time, their differences are mainly in geometry and specific applications.
Feature | V-Type Mixer | Y-Type Mixer |
---|---|---|
Geometry and Construction | Two cylinders in a “V” shape joined at an 80° angle, providing smooth and efficient tumbling. | Three cylinders in a “Y” shape, which increase convergence points and improve material distribution. |
Available Capacities | 50 to 1,000 liters (standard versions), customizable. | 50 to 1,000 liters (standard versions), also customizable. |
Homogeneity Level | Standard deviation below 3%, ensuring excellent mixing uniformity. | Achieves similar homogeneity levels as the V-type. |
Average Mixing Time | Between 3 and 10 minutes, depending on the application and material. | Between 3 and 10 minutes, similar to the V-type. |
Recommended Materials | Dry powders, solids with low moisture content, fragile and heat-sensitive materials. | Dry and low-flow powders, delicate mixtures requiring gentle handling. |
Ease of Cleaning | High hygiene level, easy discharge, and fast cleaning. | Similar ease, with a design that also allows efficient sanitation. |
Application Sectors | Pharmaceutical, food, chemical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical. | Pharmaceutical, food, chemical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical. |
Standards and Regulations | Complies with NR-10, NR-12, ANVISA, and good manufacturing practices. | Complies with NR-10, NR-12, ANVISA, and good manufacturing practices. |
Advantages | High homogeneity, low friction, preservation of product characteristics, long durability. | Equally gentle process, excellent for fragile materials, robust and sanitary structure. |
Limitations | Not suitable for liquids or pastes; efficiency reduced with very moist products. | Same limitation as the V-type, plus higher construction complexity. |
Bag Feeding System:
Agimix mixers can be supplied with a support system for BAGs, equipped with hoppers and either screw or pneumatic conveyors.
Our automated feeding systems can also include a precise dosing system and weight verification via load cell, and can be configured with one or more BAG unloaders.
The Agimix V-Y / Biconical mixers can be supplied with access platforms and feeding systems according to the customer's needs. They comply with NR-12 safety standards and can be designed to complement an existing structure or for planning a completely new structure.
The V-type mixer is ideal for companies working with herbs, spices, powdered foods, supplements, pharmaceutical or cosmetic products. It ensures a homogeneous mix in just a few minutes, preserving the characteristics of delicate ingredients. It is the perfect choice for those seeking efficiency, speed, and low friction during the process, without compromising the final product quality.
Yes! Agimix offers full equipment customization: size, capacity, automation options, types of discharge, and sanitary finishes can be adjusted according to the client's needs. This means each mixer is designed to perfectly fit your production process, ensuring maximum efficiency and a fast return on investment.
The main difference lies in the equipment geometry. The V-type is simpler and more efficient for quick mixing of dry and fragile powders, while the Y-type is preferred when strict sanitary finishing, loading/unloading automation, and compliance with regulations such as ANVISA and NR-12 are required. Both deliver homogeneous, reliable, and high-quality mixing, but each model is better suited for different types of processes.
Yes! Agimix mixers are suitable for any industry that requires mixing powders or granules: food, spices, teas, supplements, medicines, cosmetics, and chemical products. Additionally, they comply with sanitary and safety regulations, ensuring quality, hygiene, and reliability in every batch.
The V type is recommended, as its movement is smooth, with low friction, preserving product integrity. However, the Y type can also be used for fragile products when sanitary finishing and automation are required. Both ensure efficient mixing without ingredient degradation.
No. The equipment is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, saving time and reducing operational costs. The Y type has versions with sanitary finishing and automated discharge systems, making cleaning even faster and safer, essential for food and pharmaceutical industries.
Normally, the mixers achieve homogeneity in 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the application and material. Agimix also offers automation options to adjust mixing speed and time, ensuring maximum efficiency for each type of product.
Yes. All Agimix mixers feature a safety system with door interlocks and emergency stop button, complying with NR-10, NR-12, and ANVISA standards, ensuring full protection for operators and regulatory compliance.
