    Hi Bob!

    Many thanks for your feedback! Yes! I did inquire the V-Blender from Ross. It’s actually between that V-Blender from Ross or if our budget permits, I was advised to get the Hosokawa Cyclomix instead.

    Cheers!

    Hi Bob!

    Thank you for your response! Yes, I do buy pre-milled pigments from Japan and it saves us a lot of time.

    I asked for a demo of a V-Blender. It does look like a normal tumbler but hopefully I’d be able to see its merits.

    For the longest time we’ve been using a Food Processor-like equipment to mix our powders, and so far I haven’t encountered any problem. However, it was only a natural progression coming from mixing pigments and powders with a coffee grinder, and then procuring a bigger unit that resembled that. Thanks to your feedback, I at least had a glimpse on how the big guys at the industry process their products.

    Btw, we usually only mix 5kg batches as we’re doing 24 shades of the foundation so far.

    Just curious.. what will you consider to be a top-of-the-line mixer Bob?

    Many thanks!
