A ribbon blender is a type of industrial mixer that is commonly used for the homogeneous mixing of powders, granules, and other solid materials. It consists of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a specially designed ribbon agitator that moves materials both radially and laterally, ensuring a thorough blending of the components.
Ribbon blenders are widely used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and cosmetics for mixing dry powders and granules. They are suitable for applications where gentle blending is required to maintain the integrity of the materials being mixed. The design of the ribbon agitator helps prevent dead spots and ensures a consistent blend throughout the mixture.
Key Features
U-Shaped Trough
The blending chamber is typically U-shaped, allowing for efficient mixing and discharge of materials.
Ribbon Agitator
The ribbon agitator is a set of inner and outer helical blades that are designed to move materials in both radial and lateral directions. This design promotes a consistent and uniform blending of materials.
