Uniform dry material mixing cannot be ignored with regard to quality, safety and product uniformity in the food, pharmaceutical, chemicals, plastics, and building materials industries. Ribbon Blender Mixer is an effective industrial product that is trusted with immense efficiency and consistency in taking care of a large amount of powders, granules, and other dry materials.

INCMachine is a manufacturer of premium ribbon blender mixers designed as per the demands of processing plants that are in vogue. Our mixers have a high level of design and easy operation and good performance which makes them superior industrial mixing machinery. This paper discusses the characteristics, functions, uses, advantages, and selection hints of the ribbon blender mixers.

What Is Ribbon Blender?

Ribbon blender mixer is the horizontally located U-shaped mixing device that houses the specially shaped ribbon agitator known as the double helical. In the inner and outer ribbons, the ribbons rotate around a horizontal shaft at opposite directions giving rise to counter-current that guarantees homogeneous mixing of the batch.

These mixers find extensive use in where there is a need to mix dry and semi-moist substances softly but intimately. Ribbon blenders are applicable in cases of batch mixing where it is necessary that ingredients are outspread evenly and with minimum production of heat or damages to the particle.

Functions of Ribbon Blender Mixers

The most essential element of ribbon blender is its twin helical ribbon agitator, comprising of majority inner, as well as outer mixing blades:

• The outside ribbon brings material to the interior of the ribbons.
• The inner rib pulls the core material to edges.
• The rapidity at which this is done and its thoroughness is due to this counter-flow action, and to this is due the uniformity in each cycle of work.
• The architecture avoids dead zones as much as possible, and it is possible to empty it after mixing.
• Ribbon blenders generally run slowly or medium, compromises dependency on energy cost and efficiency.

Features of INCMachine Ribbon

There are two basic categories of blenders: ribbon blenders and full range blenders. Ribbon blenders are used in applications that do not require any conveying space. Full range blenders in their turn are necessary when there is a need to mix the entire range of conveying space. Ribbon blenders are suitable when the mixture needs a lot of conveying space. Ribbon blenders are very rich as far as strength is concerned. Full range blenders on the other hand are

1. Robust Construction

Our ribbon blenders are constructed out of high grade stainless or carbon steel, dependent upon industry standards. The sturdy housing assures of consistent output during harsh industrial operation.

2. AR Precision Ribbon Design

The helical ribbons are specially designed and are placed at equal spacing and maximization of contact and mixing efficiency. The agitator itself is fastened on a high engineered shaft that provides its smooth and well-balanced running.

3. Flexible Capacity choices

INCMachine provides the ribbon blenders with the vast variety that can go up to small batch mixers, whereas the largest can work with thousands of liters.

4. Inlets and discharge valves are customizable

Variations in feed hopper, feed inlets, outlets and discharge valves may be also installed to suit the application of the installation either manually or by use of precious conveying.

5. The low energy consumption.

Although they are powerful, the ribbon mixers do not use high energy levels because they are well designed and the ribbon used in them moves efficiently.

6. Optional Features are available

Other variations that can be provided are jacketed designs to heat/cool the contents or explosion-proofing motors or operation by vacuum or liquid sprays, nozzles.

Applications of Ribbon Blender Mixer

Dry and semi-moist: Ribbon blenders are employed in a wide span of industries to do blending. The major areas of applications comprise:

1. Food Processing Industry

Applied in the stirring of spices, baking forces, flour between, milk powder, flavorings and dieting helps. Stainless steel ribbon blenders provide clean processing making it free of contamination.

2. Pharmaceutical Industry

Batches Ideal in mixing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), excipients, herbal powders and dietary supplements where uniformity of batches is important in accuracy of the dose.

3. Chemical Industry

Detergents, fertilizers, pigments, catalysts, plastic powders and polymer resins combine using this. The mixers have corrosive and reactive compound resistance.

4. Cosmetic Industry

Applied in dry mix makeup formulation of powdered products (makeup), face powders, and scrub ingredient formulation to create smooth texture and consistency.

5. Construction Materials

In dry mixtures like cement, plaster materials, tile adhesive, sand mixes, ribbon blender is effective in blending these materials ready to be bagged or used on-site.

Benefits & Advantages of Ribbon Blender Mixers 

1. Uniform and Reflective mixing

The ribbon structure guarantees that all constituent of the mix is properly mixed, regardless of the density of the material or grains size.

2. Efficient Operation

High production rate is made possible by fast mixing cycles and is necessary in time sensitive manufacturing processes.

3. Gentle Handling

Ribbon mixers are used where degradation of the material is minimal, thus they are ideal where the particles are fragile or where compounds are heat sensitive.

4. Low Maintenance

Ribbon mixers designed by INCMachine do not have many moving parts and can be facilitated with minimal maintenance as well as causing less downtime due to easy-to-clean surfaces.

5. Custom Engineering

INCMachine provides customized packages based on the need of the specific customer such as automation, ingredient tracking, and compatibility with the upstream or downstream apparatus.
