U Shaped Powder Mixer

The ribbon blender is a versatile mixing machine commonly used in various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. It consists of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a double helical ribbon agitator that rotates within the trough, creating a fluidized mixing action. This design ensures thorough blending of dry powders, granules, and other materials.

• Materials：Stainless steel is a popular choice for its durability and ease of cleaning, making it ideal for industries with strict hygiene standards. However, other materials such as carbon steel or special alloys can also be used based on the application and budget.

• Variable speed control: Allows operators to adjust the mixing speed based on the material being processed, ensuring optimal blending results.

• Heating or cooling jacket: Enables temperature control during mixing, which is crucial for heat-sensitive materials or processes.

• Vacuum or pressure sealing: Essential for handling hazardous or volatile materials safely.

• Discharge options: Customized discharge valves or ports can be added to facilitate the transfer of mixed materials to downstream processes.

Horizontal ribbon mixer is used for powder and powder mixing, powder with a small amount of liquid mixing, suitable for food, building, chemical, agricultural and other industries, such as food powder, dry mortar powder, fertilizer, seeds, spices, coffee powder, etc

How does a ribbon mixer work?

The ribbon blender is the double spiral. The outer spiral belt pushes inward and the inner spiral belt pushes outward so that the materials form convection & tumble motion to insure thorough mixing homogeneity in short cycle times to achieve the purpose of fast and uniform stirring. When discharging the materials, the outer ribbons move the materials toward the center discharge valve.

Customizable Design: Ribbon mixers come in different sizes and configurations to accommodate varying batch sizes and production needs. They can be designed for batch mixing or continuous mixing, depending on the application.

Optional Features: Many ribbon mixers can be equipped with additional features, such as heating or cooling jackets in the mixing chamber, spray nozzles for the controlled addition of liquids, and safety mechanisms like interlocks and safety guards.

Ease of Cleaning: Ribbon mixers are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. They often feature quick-access doors and removable agitators, making it straightforward to clean and prevent cross-contamination between batches.

Durability: These mixers are typically built to withstand the demands of industrial use. They feature robust construction and materials capable of handling abrasive or corrosive materials.

Safety Features: Many ribbon mixers include safety features such as interlocking mechanisms, emergency stop buttons, and protective guards to ensure operator safety during operation.
