Description

• The mixing process to achieve it is often called homogenization. Thorough blending and homogenization are desirable when manufacturing food products precisely because these processes ensure consistency. Ribbon blenders are convective mixers. Ribbon blenders are actually used in many industries and applications: pharmaceuticals, food and bakery, cosmetics, plastics, spices, mixes for drinks, cements grouts and mortars, coffee and tea, tobacco. The moderate shear of the ribbon or paddle naturally breaks down lumps and agglomerates. The inner and outer ribbons together rotate the mass of material. The outer ribbon moves the solids toward the centre of the tough and the inner ribbon moves solids toward the ends. Mixing time for a fully loaded mixer is typically 15 minutes and is proportional faster for lower loading
• Here the mixture movement is forced by the rotation of the ribbon which is circulating the product in 2 directions: the ribbon is actually made in 2 parts; 1 external ribbon circulates the product in 1 direction while another ribbon located inside the 1st one moves the product in the other direction. By mixing enough time, those 2-axial movement, coupled with some radial movement (blades “cutting” the material when rotating), will allow to reach the required degree of homogeneity
• Millgrain offers Ribbon Mixer Cum Blenderin which it is made of shell having a U shape in which is rotating an agitator. The agitator is designed as a double helical ribbon which allows to create convective movement of the materials in two directions achieving mixing of powders and bulk solids. It is a light duty blender mainly used for easy mixing of powder components which are pre-processed like dried granules, pre-sieved powders etc. It is a low shear mixer and mostly used for solid / solid mixing. Ribbon blender is used for all dry foods products, nutraceuticals, protein powder mixes, dry juice mixes, chemicals, fertilizer, insecticides, colorants, resins and polymers. Ribbon Mixer Cum Blender can be provided according to customer enquiry

Application

• Used in food and ingredients infant formula, cocoa mix, instant salad dressing, cake mixes, spices, seasonings, flavourings, gelatine
• Used in process industries for bulk solids dry Mixing
• Very simple and robust solution to mix dry materials 

• Single shaft paddle design may be advantageous for very poorly flowing materials, fragile materials or if the batch size may be as low as 15-20% of the nominal batch size
