The APV Flex-Mix® Liquiverter Series delivers efficient atmospheric powder-liquid mixing for food, dairy and beverage applications. Designed for batch, inline or continuous use, it ensures fast, uniform results while reducing energy use, waste and downtime.
Cost-Effective, Versatile Mixing with Low CAPEX Investment
The Flex-Mix Liquiverter offers a flexible and reliable solution for high quality mixing, dispersion, recombination and reestablishment of soluble products into low to medium viscosity fluids. It provides a large dissolution capacity due to its free vortex and square shape and is a popular choice for use in reconstitution of dairy products like yogurt, Sweetened Condensed Milk, sugar syrup, dispersion of starch and hydrocolloid.
A cost-effective mixing solution offering high performance, high shear mixing for a wide variety of applications
The Flex-Mix Liquiverter offers exceptional value with a simple, yet versatile, mixing solution for batch applications up to 3,000 liters or continuous production up to 20,000 l/h. A high shear option for semi and continuous mixing applications ensures all product externally or internally recirculated will be exposed to high shear for enhanced mixing results. Maintenance is straightforward and helps optimize the total cost of ownership while reliable operation is enhanced through the use of a direct drive which reduces wear on spare parts.

How the Flex-Mix Liquiverter Vortex Mixing System Works
The mixing principle in the Liquiverter is based on vortex-driven blending. Its bottom-mounted impeller generates an axial flow within its square-shaped mixing tank, which ensures no forced rotation of liquids. Powder or particles are added from the top of the tank, which are carried by the liquid in the tank towards the vortex center. The free vortex sucks liquid downwards, collapsing it around the powder and forcing it towards the mixer head at the base. The corners of the tank act as baffles to improve power transfer from the mixer, creating a dynamic process response and creating an axial flow pattern. This provides uniformity in the fluid and better mixing control of vortex and removes the need for additional baffles, improving cleanability of the unit and enhancing food safety.
The Flex-Mix Liquiverter can be used for batch mixing, inline mixing over one or more hydration tanks, or continuous mixing. The high shear forces and turbulence throughout the mixing tank ensure effective and homogenous mixing for excellent final product results.
