ribbon blender 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.

Ribbon Blender Features

Most ribbon blenders consist of an engine to power operation, a large trough to hold the material and a ribboned agitator that does the mixing.

Identification
A ribbon blender’s agitator typically has metal ribbons, often in a double helical design, surrounding a central bar that extends the length of the trough. The ribbons are angled and balanced in such a way to continually move material within the container.

Ribbon blenders are used to mix a wide range of both dry and wet materials, including such items as cake mixes, cereal, cocoa, cosmetics, flavorings, gelatin, instant formula, medications, pet food, salad dressing and seasonings.

Benefits
Due to the agitator’s unique design, a ribbon blender moves material inside the trough towards the discharge point, thoroughly mixing the contents without any dead spots.

Size
Ribbon blenders come in a variety of sizes and capacities, with models designed to handle anywhere from as little as five liters of material all the up to 25,000 liters or more.
