Ribbon Mixer

The horizontal ribbon blender for solids and powders is suitable for the homogenization of large batches of products with similar morphology and density, due to its low energy consumption.

The solid ribbon mixer has a horizontal mixing spiral, rotating at a moderate speed, which generates inverse flows of product inside the mixing chamber.

Ribbon Blender is a high speed, high capacity batch mixer for the homogeneous blending of dry, free-flowing solids. It comprises of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a specially designed double helical ribbon agitator rotating within. Ribbon blenders are based on a proven agitator construction that provides a triple mixing action ensuring fast and efficient blending. The dimensions and configuration of the ribbons are carefully balanced to provide movement of material within the container that avoids dead spots and gives rapid product discharge. The mixer is available in machine sizes ranging from 100 to 5000 liters.

We are a leading ribbon blender manufacturer & supplier in India. We manufacture customized ribbon blenders as per the requirement of the customer or the industry. It is mainly applied in processing industries such as food, feed, chemicals, petrochemicals, plastics and flour milling for blending premixes and ready-made mixes.

Ribbon Mixer are widely used for homogeneous mixing of dry granules & powders. The blender comprises a 'U' shaft with two sets of spiral ribbons, one inside the other. Inner and outer ribbons are perfectly arranged, that during rotation, the material reaches each corner of the trough and imparts radial & linear motion to the whole of the material to be mixed. Our range of ribbon blenders are based on a proven agitator construction that provides a triple mixing action ensuring fast, efficient blending.

Ribbon Blender Operations:

• The complete assembly is mounted on a MS/ SS structure
• The material is moved from side of the trough to the centre and vice versa resulting in quick & homogeneous mixing
• Double ribbon configuration also brings material towards central bottom outlet while discharging
• A specially designed valve is provided at the center or butterfly valve for discharge
• Blending is achieved in semi-fluidized state in the upper zone of the trough when used for fine powders
• Machine can be provided with spray nozzles with pressure spraying system for spraying additives in blenders
• Ribbon blender can also be used as dryer by providing jacket on the trough
• All contact parts in SS 304/ SS 316 quality
• Ribbon Blender Mixer comes in Standard and GMP models specially designed flush type outlet valve or butterfly valve (optional)
• Top cover with acrylic sheet

• Available in two shapes - U & W.
