VMT Vacuum Mixer-Dryer

Mix, Dry & React in One Hygienic Batch System

Combine Mixing and Vacuum Drying for Maximum Efficiency and Product Safety

The amixon^® VMT Vacuum Mixer-Dryer is a high-performance system that unifies three functions—mixing, vacuum drying, and thermal processing—within a single vertical chamber. It’s engineered for manufacturers who process sensitive powders and need gentle handling, uniform drying, and full compliance with the highest hygiene standards.

Designed to support cGMP, EHEDG, and FDA regulations, the VMT is ideal for scaling critical formulations in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, fine chemicals, and specialty food powders.

Key Features of the VMT Vacuum Mixer-Dryer

Three Processes in One Machine

Mix, dry, and thermally treat powders in a single enclosed unit—saving time, space, and cleaning effort.

Gentle, Low-Shear Mixing Flow

A helical blade rotates slowly inside the vertical chamber, lifting material upward along the wall while creating a soft downward flow in the center. Even fragile particles stay intact.

Efficient Vacuum Drying at Low Temperatures

Vacuum pressure reduces boiling points, allowing moisture removal at 30–60 °C—ideal for heat-sensitive materials like probiotics, APIs, or flavor compounds.

Jacketed Surfaces for Precise Temperature Control

All contact surfaces—including the vessel wall, bottom cone, mixing shaft, and paddles—are fully jacketed to deliver consistent thermal energy during drying or reaction steps.

Full Batch Discharge with Minimal Residue

The system’s bottom outlet design ensures that powders, even if sticky or fine, are nearly 100% discharged—minimizing product loss and reducing cleaning time.

Sanitary & Validatable Construction

Built to meet the strictest hygienic design principles: crevice-free welds, polished stainless surfaces, and easy-to-access components support wet or dry cleaning, CIP, and SIP.

Ideal for Sensitive Applications in Regulated Industries

The VMT is trusted by process engineers and product developers in:

Pharmaceuticals: Controlled drying of actives, excipients, and specialty APIs
Nutraceuticals: Gentle handling of vitamins, botanical extracts, protein blends
Specialty Foods: Processing of instant beverages, infant formula, and functional blends
Fine Chemicals: Precision drying of additives, catalysts, or reaction intermediates
Cosmetics: Uniform drying of powder bases, pigments, and micronized ingredients

Whether you need consistent moisture removal or high-purity product integrity, the VMT offers precise control at every stage.
