A V blender is a type of equipment that the pharmaceutical industry uses for various blending applications.
The primary reason V blender mixing is so critical for the pharmaceutical industry is because pharma companies must adhere to strict production guidelines. Included in that is extensive testing and quality assurance to ensure that all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. V blender mixing ensures the quality of the final product.
V Blender is one of the popular tumbler blender that are used in the pharmaceutical, chemical or food processing industry.
Diffusion is the central mechanism of V blender mixing, which means that small-scale and random motions blends solid particles. As the movements of the blender increase, the individual particles separate and recombines which promotes diffusive blending. Without segmenting effects, in time, this results in a high level of homogeneity.
Although the actual blend time depends on the type and size of the granules, it usually takes between 5 and 15 minutes.
The volume of material added to the blender is what dictates the efficiency of this blending method. For the optimal outcome, experts recommend no more than 50 to 60 percent of the total volume.
