FAQ

WHAT IS A PATTERSON-KELLEY CROSS-FLOW V-BLENDER?
A Cross-Flow V-Blender is an enclosed tumble blender that uses an unequal V-shell geometry to promote axial material movement during rotation and improve mixing of compatible dry powders and granules.

HOW DOES THE CROSS-FLOW DESIGN DIFFER FROM A STANDARD V-BLENDER?
The unequal V-shell design is intended to create additional axial movement as the shell rotates, helping material move through the blender while maintaining the gentle tumble-mixing action associated with V-blenders.

WHAT TYPES OF PRODUCTS CAN THIS BLENDER HANDLE?
Patterson-Kelley Cross-Flow blenders are designed for compatible powders, granules and other dry bulk solids.

IS A V-BLENDER SUITABLE FOR PHARMACEUTICAL POWDERS?
V-blenders are commonly used for dry blending of compatible pharmaceutical powders and granules because the tumble action can provide relatively gentle mixing in an enclosed vessel.

CAN THIS BLENDER HANDLE NUTRACEUTICAL PRODUCTS?
Depending on product characteristics and sanitary requirements, this type of blender may be suitable for vitamins, minerals, supplements and other compatible nutraceutical powders or granules.

IS THIS A HIGH-SHEAR MIXER?
No. A V-blender primarily uses tumble blending rather than high-shear mixing, making it better suited for compatible free-flowing dry products that benefit from gentle mixing.

CAN THIS MACHINE BLEND FINE POWDERS?
It may be suitable for compatible fine powders, depending on flowability, particle characteristics, blend ratio and required uniformity.

CAN AARON EQUIPMENT HELP DETERMINE IF THIS BLENDER WILL WORK FOR MY PRODUCT?
Yes. Aaron Equipment can help review your product type, bulk density, batch size, particle characteristics and blending requirements to determine whether this Patterson-Kelley Cross-Flow V-Blender may be suitable for your application.
