Avoid segregation downstream in a tumble blender (double cone mixer)
Q: My material goes through a wet granulation step in a tumble blender (double cone blender) to avoid segregation downstream. But the granulated material contains agglomerates, formed by liquid droplets in the blender, and I have to treat the agglomerates before I can use the
What’s the quickest way to determine if my ribbon blender mixer is causing particle degradation?
Particle degradation can be deterioration in quality from a reaction (such as spoilage of a food product) or size change (such as breaking friable particles). Deterioration in quality is usually obvious from simply looking at the mixture. Size change is less obvious, so you’ll need
Avoid segregation phenomenon when sampling in ribbon blender mixer
Q:When I analyze material samples taken from our ribbon blender mixer's vessel, the mixing quality is okay, but I find mixing quality and weight variations in the final packages. How can I avoid this? A: A mixture like yours, which segregates after it leaves the
Can demixing occur in an ribbon mixer or double shaft paddle blender?
While demixing is less likely in a ribbon blender mixer or double shaft paddle blender than in a tumble blender, it can still occur. During mixing a ribbon mixer or paddle blender fluidizes the materials. If the batch is discharged during operation, mixing - while
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
Q: I'm confused by the variety of mixers available, such as ribbon blender mixer, conical screw mixer, double cone blender, paddle blender, plow mixer, etc. How do I know which type to choose for my batch process? A: Three basic types of mixers are available
What is the definition of ribbon mixer?
An industrial-strength machine, a ribbon blender is used to mix large amounts of material in many different industries. The blender gets its name from the thin, ribbon-shaped metal mixers that perform the blending. Features Most ribbon blenders consist of an engine to power operation,
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
