Segregation problems when using a tumble blender: double cone blender and V-blender
Q: we use a tumble blender and a ribbon blender mixer. I've heard that if you mix too long, you can undo the mixing result when using a tumble blender. What is this "demixing" and what causes it? A: Unlike most liquid blends, in which
How can I tell when my material has been adequately mixed?
Unlike liquids, which mix to a molecular level, dry materials comprise discrete particles and, in most opera- tions, depending on the sample size, the particles are never truly mixed. For instance, if a sample consists of one particle, the sample isn’t mixed. Thus, determining whether
Choosing a batch mixer among horizontal ribbon mixer, double shaft paddle blender, concial screw mixer

What is a Ribbon Mixer ?
A ribbon mixer is one used in manufacturing and industrial applications. Ribbon mixers are also occasionally called ribbon blenders. They are usually used when one of the items being mixed has a lot of particles, and it's important that all of the ingredients are mixed
Application of Horizontal Ribbon Blender Mixer
Horizontal Ribbon Mixer is widely used to mix powder and bulk materials in food, pharmacy, chemical industry, plastic, dyestuff, cosmetics etc., industries, including solid-solid (powder and powder), solid-liquid (powder and liquid) blends, and particularly suit for mixing the viscous or coherent powder materials and those
What Is Agglomeration?
Agglomeration, the sticking of particles to one another or to solid surfaces, is a natural phenomenon. For powders and bulk solids, agglomeration can be unwanted, resulting in uncontrolled buildup, caking, bridging, or lumping. It can also be a beneficial process, utilizing the controlled enlargement of
Why choose direct drive ribbon blender?
