Working Principle:

Horizontal Ribbon Blender is high-capacity batch mixer for fast and intimate mixing of dry, free-flowing solids. Ribbon blender consists of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a solid agitator shaft with inner and outer helical blades called ribbons. The outer ribbon moves materials in one direction and the inner ribbon moves the materials in the opposite direction.

Raw materials are fed into the mixing vessel via the top feed port manually or by screw conveyor. The loading rate can be 50-70% of the mixing vessel volume. Through mechanical transmission, the ribbon agitator rotates at approx 45 RPM which moves materials both both radially and laterally to insure homogeneous blending in short cycle times. The mixed product is discharged via the pneumatic flap valve installed on the bottom center of the mixing vessel. 

Horizontal Ribbon Blender is comonly used to produce homogeneous solid-solid mixture for industries such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, chemical, nutritional, agrochemical and plastics. It also can be used to mix solids with small proportion of liquid to prepare low-density, free-flowing wet mixture.

Technical Features:

• The mixing vessel is made by SUS304 or SUS316L and mirror polished both inner and outer shell for high sanitary standards. 
• Strong and fast mixing can be achieved due to effective drive design and variable speed blending.
• The combined discharge valve is pneumatic flap valve. The flap plate can perfectly fit the discharge port to completely avoid mixing blind angle. 
• The shaft is sealed by Teflon packing and gas seal to make sure long life-span and avoid product contamination. 
• Electric heating jacket can be assembled as an option for heating or drying process. 
• Spray nozzle can be installed as an option to add liquid additives. 
• Can work with screw conveyor or vacuum conveyor for feeding.
