Ribbon Blenders is design to provide high mixing efficiency, blending small proportions into large stocks. Ribbon Blender is primarily designed for use with dry materials, although gas and liquid streams can also be introduced. A wide variety of configurations, for either batch or continuous mixing, are available. Application specific rotor mixing element design allows shorter batch cycle times due to increased mixing efficiency. Efficient mixing also provides good heat transfer through optional ASME Code designed jackets for heating or cooling applications. The compact and robust construction dust proof operation ensures their negligible running costs. We can offer these in various customized sizes/finishes. We provide custom made size design of the Ribbon Blender to meet your specific mixing requirements. Mixing vessels can be standard U-shape or cylindrical depending on internal pressure or vacuum requirements. Material finishes available ranging are from industrial coatings to dairy grade polishes.

The classic Ribbon Blender serves multi-purpose uses in the manufacture of food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, plastic, agricultural and other products. Given its versatility and economy, the Ribbon Blender is often the choice for most straightforward blending requirements. In a well-made Ribbon Blender, precisely designed and fabricated ribbons turn within a close-tolerance horizontal trough to produce a balanced lateral and radial movement of the batch materials. Blending cycles are relatively fast and mix quality is not hard to duplicate from batch to batch. In principle, it requires very little maintenance even when subjected to frequent product changeovers. Scaling up from a pilot Ribbon Blender operation to large volume production is also generally uncomplicated. Despite these proven advantages, as with other types of mixers and process equipment, optimal mixing performance in the Ribbon Blender still starts with proper sizing, specification and customization. This white paper outlines some strategies for achieving just that, operating to maximum efficiency and ensuring along service life out of your Ribbon Blender.
