What VMix does

VMix is a Bangalore-based engineering company, founded in 2012, that designs and manufactures custom processing equipment for the mineral processing industry. Its portfolio spans the full comminution-to-tailings flowsheet and includes agitators and mixers (0.12 kW to 350 kW range), attrition scrubbers (up to 300 tph), horizontal vacuum belt filters (1–170 m²), thickeners (1–100 m diameter), mineral jigs, flotation cells (including dual extraction column variants), screw classifiers, solvent extraction and leaching systems, flocculant preparation and dosing systems, multi-media sand filters, modular turnkey plants, and wastewater/effluent treatment plants. The technology base is partly proprietary and partly licensed through technology collaborations with MPTeq/Metanza (South Africa) for jigs and thickeners, MaxFlot (UK) for filtration and DEC flotation, and Benenv (Japan) for wastewater systems. Beyond equipment supply, VMix offers laboratory test work, design engineering, in-house fabrication at its Peenya manufacturing works, full EPC project execution, and outsourced operations and maintenance — effectively operating as a single-vendor mineral processing solutions provider.

The company sells almost exclusively to enterprise clients via direct field sales and competitive tendering, with named wins including UCIL (Uranium Corporation of India Ltd) for belt filter spares and EPC work, L&T for the SAIL steel project, a Titanium pigment plant for a 31-agitator bulk order, and iron ore beneficiation audits where yields reportedly improved from 45% to 64% and Fe grade from 58% to 63%. Reported contract sizes (1–1.5 Crore range per tender, equivalent to roughly USD 120K–180K) imply a project-based, lumpy revenue profile rather than a recurring software-style model. The firm claims a "worldwide" footprint and has at least one confirmed export order into South Africa. Overall, VMix is a small (51–100 employee), privately held, India-rooted capital equipment specialist competing on cost-effective customization and licensed foreign technology against global mineral processing OEMs.
