Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is a laboratory V/Y mixer?

The V/Y mixer for laboratory is a tumbling equipment used to mix dry solids on a small scale. It works by continuously dividing and recombining the material, making it the ideal choice for achieving high-precision homogenization in research and development of new products.

What types of products is the V mixer suitable for?

This equipment is widely suitable for mixing pharmaceutical powders, granules and cosmetic pigments. Due to its gentle action, the V / Y Mixer processes friable and friction-sensitive materials without altering their physical properties.

What is the typical capacity of an R&D powder mixer?

The useful capacity for laboratory and research models generally varies from 1 to 50 liters, depending on the project needs. This volume range allows accurate tests to be carried out with small samples of high-value-added inputs.

How to avoid cross-contamination when mixing drugs?

Contamination prevention is guaranteed by the use of 316L stainless steel with mirror sanitary polish on the inside of the bowl. This finish eliminates porosities, facilitating complete cleaning and sterilization of equipment between different batches.

Does the V/Y mixer generate heat during the process?

No, the tumbling mixing process is characterized by being low shear and minimal friction. This means that the equipment does not generate significant heat, protecting thermosensitive active ingredients against thermal degradation.

Is it possible to adjust the mixing speed on the equipment?

Yes, Agimix laboratory mixers can be equipped with frequency inverters. This feature allows the operator to adjust the vessel rotation precisely, optimizing the mixing time for different powder densities.

What is the difference between the V mixer and the Y mixer?

The main difference lies in the geometry of the mixing vessel. While the V-shaped model has two cylinders joined at an angle, the Y-shaped model adds a third way, which can alter the cross-flow pattern, although both offer excellent efficiency in mixing dry solids.

How does laboratory data help in industrial production?

Tests carried out in the laboratory provide critical parameters such as optimal time, speed and filling rate. With this data, the engineering team is able to carry out a safe scale-up for large industrial mixers, maintaining the same quality of the formulation.
