A ribbon mixer is a type of industrial blending equipment designed for the homogeneous mixing of powders, granules, and other bulk materials.
It consists of a horizontal trough-shaped container with a set of inner and outer helical ribbons that move materials in opposing directions for efficient blending.
The ribbon design provides gentle and thorough mixing, making it suitable for fragile or heat-sensitive materials in various industries.
Ribbon mixers are widely used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, offering versatility for different batch sizes and formulations.
They are known for their ease of cleaning and can be customized with features such as jacketed troughs for temperature control in certain applications.
