The VM Series is a family of triple shaft mixers designed for batch mixing, dispersion, and homogenization, featuring a fixed tank with a dished bottom and up to three independently driven agitators: an anchor, a high speed disperser, and a high shear rotor/stator mixer. Wetted parts are stainless steel type 304 with a mill finish, and drive motors are TEFC induction motors. The mix vessel cover is stainless steel type 304; non-wetted components are painted with a two-component finish. Tank diameters range from 39 to 110 inches, and working capacities span from 100 to 3000 gallons, with corresponding power ratings for the agitators specified per model. Optional features include stainless steel type 316 or Hastelloy wetted parts, jacketing, vacuum/pressure capability, and sanitary designs.
We offer Dual and Triple Shaft designs to meet the specific requirements of each customer. The economical Dual Shaft design includes a two-wing anchor agitator and a conventional high speed disperser. This combination is ideal for straight forward mixing and dispersion applications.
The triple shaft design extends the operating range by adding either a high shear rotor-stator mixer or a second high speed disperser. The addition of a high shear rotor-stator mixer adds the capability of emulsifying and homogenizing products that require higher shear to reduce the size of the particles being mixed.
