How It Works:

1. Design: The ribbon blender consists of a horizontal trough with a central shaft equipped with helical ribbons or blades. The ribbons rotate in opposite directions, creating a continuous and efficient mixing action.

2. Mixing Action: As the ribbons turn, they push the material towards the center of the blender, and then back out towards the ends. This movement creates a thorough and consistent blend of powders by repeatedly folding and tumbling the materials.

3. Discharge: Once mixing is complete, the powder can be discharged from the blender through a valve or an opening at the bottom. Some ribbon blenders have a hinged discharge gate for easier cleaning and material removal.

Key Features:

• Capacity: Ribbon blenders come in various sizes, from small laboratory models to large industrial units, depending on the volume of material being processed.
• Material Construction: They are typically made from stainless steel or other durable materials to withstand the abrasive nature of some powders and ensure longevity.
• Customization: Some models can be customized with features such as heating or cooling jackets, spray nozzles for liquid addition, or specialized liners to handle specific materials or improve mixing efficiency.
