UMA V-Type Mixer Machine (also called a V blender) is a precision dry-powder mixing solution widely used across pharmaceutical, food, chemical, nutraceutical, and materials industries. Its distinctive V-shaped chamber rotates to create a gentle tumbling motion that blends powders and granules uniformly without high shear, heat generation, or particle degradation.
Unlike ribbon mixers or paddle mixers, V mixers rely primarily on gravity diffusion and repeated material splitting and recombining. This makes them ideal for fragile, free-flowing, or heat-sensitive materials where product integrity is critical. Applications include blending APIs and excipients, food additives, protein powders, spices, chemical intermediates, metal powders, and more.
International buyers value V mixers for their:
- High mixing uniformity
- Low energy consumption
- Minimal maintenance
- Easy cleaning and sanitation
- Scalable capacity options
This guide focuses on selecting the right machine from the product portfolio of Yinda Machinery, covering small laboratory units through large industrial bin blenders.

Operating Principle of a V-Type Mixer
The machine consists of two cylindrical shells joined in a V configuration and mounted on a rotating frame.
Mixing Process (High Level):
- Materials are loaded into the chamber.
- The V vessel rotates around a horizontal axis.
- The powder repeatedly splits into two streams.
- Materials cascade and recombine at the junction.
- Diffusion and convection produce uniform blending.
Optional intensifier bars introduce localized high-speed mixing for cohesive or poorly flowing powders.
Common Issues and Maintenance Tips
Segregation after mixing
- Avoid overfilling
- Optimize rotation speed
- Consider the intensifier bar
Poor uniformity
- Check fill level
- Increase mixing time
- Verify material flow properties
Dust leakage
- Inspect seals and gaskets
- Ensure valve closure integrity
Mechanical wear
- Lubricate bearings regularly
- Monitor drive components
