Loading
Tumble geometry V-blender with 1,000 L volume and internal high-speed intensifier de-lumping bar for cohesive active blends.
Working Volume: 300 L to 600 L (Gross Volume: 1,000 L)
The VMB-1000 V-Cone Blender delivers gentle, diffusion-based powder blending for fragile granules, vitamins, and multi-component active formulations. The twin asymmetric V-shells divide and recombine powder flows on every revolution, achieving a blend uniformity RSD < 1.0% in 15 minutes.

Third-party certification of the quality management system under which every machine in the range is designed, built and tested. It certifies the process, not the performance of an individual machine.
Evidence: ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Certificate (PDF · 2 KB)Manufacturer self-declaration that the machine meets the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive, supported by a technical file and risk assessment to EN ISO 12100.
Evidence: EC Declaration of Conformity Template (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) (PDF · 2 KB)World Health Organization guidance on good manufacturing practice, widely used as the reference for export markets and WHO prequalification.
United States current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation for finished pharmaceuticals, including equipment design, cleaning and maintenance requirements (21 CFR 211.63 and 211.67).
All configurations
Confirms that the VMB-1000 design, as specified, meets the user requirement specification before manufacture begins.
GMP configurations
Documents that the machine is installed to drawing, connected to the specified utilities and calibrated.
GMP configurations
Challenges the machine across its operating ranges, alarms and interlocks to show it performs as specified.
Customer-executed; product-specific acceptance criteria
Executed by the customer with our support: three consecutive batches with granule size distribution, loss on drying and blend uniformity within limits.
All configurations; customer witnessing optional
Witnessed at our works before dispatch, so defects are corrected where the parts, tools and engineers are.
All configurations
Repeats the critical FAT checks at the customer site after installation and utility connection.
