The Vitomix: Fast and Compact
Hosokawa Micron B.V. has developed a new mixer under the name Vitomix. This mixer bridges the gap between low shear and high shear mixing. Striking aspect is its extremely compact design. Thanks to a partly cylindrical structure, an adapted conical shape and bottom, the same volume is achieved with a considerably reduced structural height.
The Vitomix has a double ribbon screw. Linear screw speeds of 4.5 m/s can be achieved.
Thanks to the higher speed and mixing intensity, Vitomix mixers can achieve higher output, power consumptions of up to 30 kW are common.
The construction of the drive arm is designed in such a way that blind angles and dead zones are almost completely eliminated, resulting in minimal residue formation. The construction of the access door has been adapted. The door and opening are cut under an angle of 45° with the aid of water-jet cutting Technology which guarantees an optimal dust- and watertight sealing.
Two lump breakers (2 x 7.5 kW) are incorporated into the sidewall of the Vitomix mixer. Thanks to this double feature, more fluid can be injected without lump formation. The Vitomix is produced in a range up to 10,000 litres.
The Vitomix has a broad range of applications extending from the chemical and pharmaceutical industry to the foodstuffs industry. With this mixer Hosokawa Micron B.V. is able to offer more flexibility and to satisfy its customers’ needs even better.
