Large Bubble Vertical Mixing

Distilled Spirits Mixing

Large Bubble Vertical Mixing (LBVM) is a unique technology that utilizes Gravity to efficiently mix chemicals and food processing tanks. Unlike horizontal mixing technologies that fight gravity. LBVM leverages its natural forces to achieve a more effective mixing and cost-effective solution.

All technologies that move liquid horizontally to achieve mixing are fighting gravity and will ultimately loose the battle. While any mixing technology can eventually mix, horizontal mixers require sufficient energy. applying excessive power becomes economically unsustainable over time and costs you money. However Large Bubble Vertical Mixing offers a viable strategy to overcome the Gravity Problem.

  • LBVM works by lifting all the solids from the bottom of the process tank o the liquid surface using the buoyancy and gravity of the vertically rising bubble.
  • This evenly disperses the solids and liquid within the “zone of Influence”around the bubbles upward path.
  • The only energy cost associated with this process is the power required to run the compressor.
  • Once lifted to the surface the solids and liquid travel downward by gravity and this part of the trip is free.
  • One notable advantage of LBVM is its non-shearing nature, which prevents damage to the product during blending.
  • Large Bubble Vertical Mixing (24–36-inch bubbles) significantly reduces the angels share. which is the commonly known as the alcohol that is stripped away by air.

A distilled spirits customer reported that utilizing a LBVM system allowed them to mix their product in 5 minutes compared to 30 minutes by their previous air mixing system.
