Ribbon blenders are common industrial mixing machines, used extensively across many industries for blending and mixing dry powders, granules, pellets and flakes. Paddle Mixers are most commonly used to mix animal feed and related products.

Facet Ribbon Blenders consist of a U-shaped horizontal trough fitted with a horizontal longitudinal shaft on which arms are mounted, supporting a combination of ribbon blades, paddles or helical screws set at a fairly close clearance to the trough so that all product is evenly mixed.

The most effective configuration of a ribbon blender is using a double spiral. As the outer ribbon moves the product in one direction and the inner ribbon moves it in the opposite direction, this creates axial flow, which prevents product build-up and extends mixing times.

Ribbon blenders can be used to mix a wide variety of dry powdered products, homogeneously. These include spices, powdered mixes, cosmetic powders, chemical additives, fertilizers and ceramic powders, just to name a few.

Ribbon blenders are effective in mixing product of a similar size, shape and density. It is important to note that the capacity of a ribbon blender should never be exceeded, as this may render the mixer and/or blades ineffective and result in the product not being adequately mixed.

When considering the model/size of a ribbon blender, the bulk density of the product being mixed must be taken into consideration. Contact our design office for assistance in selecting the correct ribbon blender for your application.
