Ribbon Blender
The Ribbon Blender is a high-efficiency mixing machine designed for uniform blending of powders, granules, and pasty materials. Its dual helical ribbon design ensures thorough mixing, reduces dead zones, and delivers consistent product quality. Ribbon Blenders are widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food & beverage, and cosmetic industries where homogeneity and precision are critical.
Types:
Ribbon Blenders are available in horizontal and double-shaft configurations to suit different production capacities and material types. They can be customized for batch or continuous operations and can include options such as vacuum loading, heating/cooling jackets, or internal baffles for enhanced mixing efficiency.
Construction:
The blender is fabricated from high-quality stainless steel (S.S. 304, 316, 316L) for durability, corrosion resistance, and hygienic compliance. The blending chamber contains inner and outer helical ribbons mounted on a central shaft, enclosed within a robust frame. The assembly is equipped with precision-engineered inlet/outlet ports and optional mobility features for ease of operation and cleaning.
Operation:
Material is loaded into the blender through the inlet, and the ribbons rotate in opposite directions to create a uniform mixing action. The design ensures efficient blending with minimal hold-up and prevents material segregation. Once blending is complete, the mixed product is discharged through the outlet. Optional features include variable speed control, heating or cooling jackets, and CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) systems to enhance process efficiency, product quality, and hygiene.
