Ribbon Blenders
We Design, Manufacture & Supply of U Trough Ribbon blenders / mixers which has unique aspect ratio i.e. blender trough length to diameter ratio. Less blending time combined with minimum power consumption, gentle & high blending & mixing efficiency ensures uniform dispersion & homogeneity of even minority ingredients & powders of varying particle size & bulk densities. Typical applications are dry powders blending, granules blending, liquid addition to powders through spray nozzles in industries like carbon black, pharmaceutical, food, chemicals, spices, pesticides, dyes & pigments & many more. It is also used as a live storage for sticky powders.

Ribbon Blenders & Batch Mixers
Our ribbon blender / mixer consist of a horizontal U – shaped or circular trough & inner & outer ribbons. Three dimensional mixing of particles is achieved due to typical radial, axial & across arrangement of ribbons. Ribbons are designed such that while in rotation, each material ingredient reaches to every part of the trough. The amount of material relative movement is the most important criterion in blending. The end product or the mixture becomes completely homogeneous only when the position of each ingredient particles at the beginning is changed & the particles are found at any random location across the trough cross sectional area at the end of the blending operation.
Ribbon Blenders are very sturdy and robust. They consist of a U type Vessel with flat head. The central agitator shaft is driven from end with gear box reducer. A double helical ribbon agitator in the vessel moves the product upward along the outer wall and releases it downward into cavities developed in the middle, simultaneously material is horizontally distributed by the mixing arm and is optimally homogenized.
Mixing time is depending on the agitator speed. In general mixing time is three to four times shorter than the mixers working with a rotating screw. The S.S. RIBBON BLENDER is an efficient and versatile blending machine for mixing of dry granules & powders homogeneously.
The dry material gets sufficient continuous movement due to the shape & movement of ribbon & shape of the container, which moves material for good quality of blending.
The unit consists of one electrical motor, one worm reduction gear, belt drive between motor and gear, couple drive between gears to (ribbon) mixing stirrer. Container having four numbers of legs with discharge valve & top cover. Both ends of mixing shaft are sealed with bush & stuffing box
