Ribbon Blender
Horizontal Ribbon Blender
Ribbon Blender is a high speed, high capacity batch mixer for the homogeneous blending of dry, free-flowing solids. It comprises of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a specially designed double helical ribbon agitator rotating within. Ribbon blenders are based on a proven agitator construction that provides a triple mixing action ensuring fast and efficient blending. The dimensions and configuration of the ribbons are carefully balanced to provide movement of material within the container that avoids dead spots and gives rapid product discharge. The mixer is available in machine sizes ranging from 100 to 5000 liters.
We are a leading ribbon blender manufacturer & supplier in India. We manufacture customized ribbon blenders as per the requirement of the customer or the industry. It is mainly applied in processing industries such as food, feed, chemicals, petrochemicals, plastics and flour milling for blending premixes and ready-made mixes.

Ribbon Blender Mixer commonly known as horizontal ribbon mixer machine perform mixing through ribbon blades. The name of equipment ribbon blender derived from its ribbon shaped blades uses for mixing process. Machine having U shaped bowls in which ribbon shaped blades welded onto one pipe shaft. This pipe shaft rotated through external motor and gearbox. Suitable size bearing and pedestal block provided for smooth rotation of shaft. Mixing time in the blender ranging from few minute to hour depending material type and characteristics. Ribbon blender can be fabricated in mild steel, stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316, titanium and other metals as per individual process requirements. Ribbon mixers are available in different capacities ranging from just Lab ribbon blender to Production level several cubic meters.
Working Principle of Ribbon Blender
Ribbon blender demonstrate true performance equipment when talk about chemical processing. At the same time machine is simple to use than even non skilled worker can operate it very easily. Blender work on two major principles – convective mixing and diffusion. Convective mixing can be understood as macro movement of large sized solids. The other type of mixing, diffusion mixing takes place when individual particles in front of the ribbon move in a particular direction and the nearby particles do not move at all or lag behind.
Material is fed from the top cover of the machine. Manual loading can be perform or we can offer optionally auto feeder for loading materials inside the bowl. As material process in both directions, there is homogeneous mixing performs in each time. After mixing process material get discharges from slide gate valve provided at bottom shell of the equipment.
The horizontal mixing vessel of the rubber blender is fed with the material from top by using the feeding devices provided and mounted near the cover. Since the horizontal ribbon blender causes material movements in different directions, you can expect astonishingly perfect homogeneous mixing. There are one or more discharge valves provided for material discharge.
Ribbon Blender can be use for wide array of application span over pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, bulk ingredients, food preservatives, specialty chemical, beverages and lot more. Below are some of the major applications of the equipment:
