V-Type Mixer for Plant Extracts

This V-type mixer is a large-scale mixing equipment customized by NutraLightingspecifically for plant extract products, with a single-batch mixing capacity of 400 kilograms of extract powder. It adopts the gravity diffusion mixing principle: the asymmetric V-shaped drum rotates at a constant low speed. The plant extract powder inside will not be pushed by forced stirring blades. Instead, as the drum rotates, it repeatedly completes the full cycle of “splitting – converging – staggered tumbling” in the two inclined cavities.

There is no local frictional temperature rise caused by high-speed shearing, nor damage to the natural crystal structure of the extracts from hard paddles. The entire mixing process is gentle and uniform, fundamentally preventing the inactivation and loss of heat-sensitive plant active ingredients during the production process.

Exclusive Functions for Plant Extract Production

Targeting the characteristics of plant extract powders, such as large differences in fluidity and weak acid/weak alkaline properties of some components, this equipment solves three core pain points of traditional mixing processes:

• The inner wall is treated with high-grade mirror polishing, which completely eliminates sanitary dead corners. No material residue remains after switching between different batches, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of cross-contamination at the hardware level.
• We strictly control the filling coefficient within the optimal range of 40%. Combined with customized speed parameters, the mixing uniformity of the entire batch of materials can stably reach over 99% in only 4 to 10 minutes, avoiding problems such as local component enrichment and sedimentation of active ingredients at the bottom.
• The maximum single-batch mixing capacity can reach 400 kilograms. It can not only minimize the color difference of products in the same batch, but also effectively reduce the overall workload of mixing operations thanks to its large-volume design.

Quality Implementation Details of NutraLighting Company

For us, this equipment is never a cold tool on the production line. We do not directly apply the parameters of general industrial equipment. Instead, we have adjusted exclusive process parameters including mixing duration, rotation speed and filling amount one by one for different categories of plant extracts under our brand: for extracts containing volatile oils such as turmeric and zedoary, we appropriately reduce the rotation speed to avoid the overflow of volatile components; for moisture-prone extracts such as polysaccharides, we pre-fill the drum with inert gas for protection, so as to retain the inherent active properties of the raw materials to the maximum extent.
