Ribbon Blender(also called ribbon mixer) consists of a U-shaped horizontal bucket and a specially fabricated ribbon agitator. The agitator rotates with minimum wall clearance in a U-shaped vessel. A ribbon agitator consists of an inner and outer ribbon which effects a counter flow mass movement with random motion in radial and axial directions: the outer ribbon moves materials in one direction and the inner ribbon moves the materials in the opposite direction. The ribbons rotate and moves materials both radially and laterally to insure thorough blends in short cycle times. That’s to say, mixing action in the double ribbon blender is created by the following 3 factors:
1. Conveying of product by one ribbon from left to right
2. Counter flow of product by the second ribbon
3. Exchange of product between the two ribbons

Characteristics​​:

1. High homogeneity: this kind of single shaft design reinforces convection, shearing, and mixing effects.

2. Moderate mixing and high uniformity, no segregation.

3. Human friendly: simple and reasonable structure, convenient maintenance, reliable, safe, effective and less investment. The mixer also can be equipped with jacket to facility heating and cooling materials. At the same time, thermal insulation materials also can be installed as required.

4. Multiple application: it can be used for mixing feed, food additives, binder, silicone rubber, pigment, printing ink, paraffin, resin, vanishing cream, ointment, detergent, etc; and also can be used for mixing viscous fluid and thick, pasty and granular materials.

5. Used for mixing of: powders with powders; powders with liquids

6. Large open layout, a quick feed, little residue, to meet the needs of adding the liquid.

Application Range​:

• To distribute materials with different characteristics as evenly as possible. A new homogeneous material with different properties results.
• Adding water during the mixing process to help improve stability of particles. Pellets made by high moisture particle sizes are with low hardness, squishy and good palatability,
• Adding grease in the mixing powder to prepare for decreasing the hardness of feed pellets.
