A horizontal mixer for vitamins and minerals utilizes a horizontal cylindrical structure with built-in double or multiple layers of spiral ribbon impellers. During operation, a motor drives the main shaft, which in turn rotates the propellers. The outer spiral ribbon pushes the material from the ends of the cylinder toward the center, while the inner spiral ribbon moves in the opposite direction, pushing the material back from the center to the ends, creating a convection circulation. This two-way, compound motion causes intense shearing, diffusion, and tumbling of raw materials, such as vitamin powder and mineral particles, in three dimensions, ensuring uniform coating of the microscopic components with the carrier.
The horizontal mixer for vitamins and minerals is based on a horizontally positioned mixing drum, equipped with twin or multi-layered S-shaped ribbon blades. This propulsion system uses a combination of spiral propulsion and three-dimensional motion to ensure uniform mixing of fine-particle materials such as vitamins and minerals.
Mixing Chamber：It utilizes a horizontal U-shaped or trough-shaped design. The material-contacting areas are primarily constructed of 304/316 stainless steel, resulting in a smooth interior with no dead corners, minimizing material carryover and contamination. The chamber volume can be customized.
Mixing System：The core is a twin-ribbon mixing shaft consisting of two layers of ribbons. The outer ribbon propels the material toward the center, while the inner ribbon reverses the direction, pushing the material to the sides, creating a forced convection circulation system.
Drive System：Comprising a motor, reducer, and coupling, it provides power to the mixing shaft. It supports variable frequency drive, allowing the speed to be adjusted according to the material's characteristics.
Feed Inlet：Located at the top of the chamber, it can be used with a feeding station or conveyor for automatic feeding.
Discharge port: Located at the bottom or side of the chamber, equipped with a pneumatic or manual valve to control the discharge rate.

Horizontal and vertical mixers for vitamins and minerals differ significantly due to their different structural designs. Horizontal mixers utilize a horizontal barrel with twin ribbons for forced convection mixing, resulting in high uniformity and low residue. Vertical mixers utilize a vertical barrel with a bottom spiral for gravity mixing, requiring less space and lowering costs.
Structural Design: Horizontal mixers utilize a horizontally positioned mixing barrel with twin or multi-layered ribbon blades. This propulsion system creates a thorough horizontal convection circulation of the material. Vertical mixers, on the other hand, utilize a vertical barrel as their core structure, with a single spiral shaft. This rapidly rotating shaft lifts the material from the bottom to the top, where it is then dispersed back to the bottom in an umbrella-like pattern, creating a vertical tumbling mixing process.
Operating Principle: Horizontal mixers utilize a 360-degree dual S-shaped ribbon blade design to create synchronized axial and radial mixing, forming a three-dimensional, complex circulation path. Vertical mixers rely on the vertical rotation of the spiral shaft to achieve vertical circulation of the material, primarily through localized convection.
Mixing Performance and Material Compatibility: Horizontal mixers achieve mixing uniformity exceeding 99% with extremely low residue, making them particularly suitable for high-precision mixing of viscous and fine-grained materials. Vertical mixers typically achieve uniformity around 90% with higher residue, but are more suitable for handling hard, coarse-grained materials.
Cost and Maintenance: Horizontal mixers have a higher initial investment, but due to the location of the rotating bearings on both sides of the equipment, maintenance rates are low. Vertical mixers have a significant price advantage, but the location of the rotating bearings at the bottom of the equipment increases maintenance frequency, making them more suitable for individual users with smaller investments and initial cost sensitivity.
Vitamins and minerals for horizontal mixer are used across multiple industries, helping companies solve mixing challenges. We can customize production solutions based on our customers' production needs.
A food supplement factory: This facility produces compressed candies and meal replacement powders containing vitamins A and D, as well as calcium and iron.
