V Blender

Product Details:

V-blender is one of the tumbling type blender which widely used in many fields for powder mixing. This project objective is to design and develop a table top V-blender machine used for metal powder mixing. The main parameter to consider in the design and development of table top V-blender machine is the angle of the v-shell which is about 90o and the mixing speed. The mixing speed in this machine is controlled by using a power window DC motor and a DC12V to DC40V motor speed controller. The mixing capability or performance of the machine is tested by using crushed plastic. From the testing, the machine able to properly mix the granules. The machine is equipped with a safety cover to prevent from any object accidently hit the canister or V-shell during the mixing process. The development of this V-blender can be very useful in UMP for small scale research that related to alloying components and powder metallurgy.
