Horizontal Ribbon Mixer

Horizontal Ribbon Mixers are useful and sought after blenders which are mainly uses in the pharmaceutical industry. The machine has a U-shaped shell in which you will find a rotating agitator. Ribbon blenders are fairly simple in construction and operation. It is pretty robust and offers a decent mixing performance owing to which it is considered perfect for powders and solids mixing. Ribbon mixers are available in a wide array of sizes and capacities ranging from just a few liters to several cubic meters.

Adinath International’s Horizontal Ribbon Mixer is a powerful machine designed to mix powders and granules evenly. It ensures consistent blending of dry and semi-wet materials, making it ideal for industries where uniformity is important. Its smart design prevents uneven mixing and ensures all ingredients are well combined. The mixer works gently but effectively, protecting delicate materials from damage.

Ribbon blenders are also known as U trough mixers and they demonstrate a simple and yet effective mixing operation methodology. These blenders work on two major principles- convective mixing and diffusion. Convective mixing can be understood as macro movement of large sized solids. The other type of mixing, diffusion mixing takes place when individual particles in front of the ribbon move in a particular direction and the nearby particles do not move at all or lag behind.

The horizontal mixing vessel of the rubber blender is fed with the material from top by using the feeding devices provided and mounted near the cover. Since the horizontal ribbon blender causes material movements in different directions, you can expect astonishingly perfect homogeneous mixing. There are one or more discharge valves provided for material discharge.

The horizontal ribbon mixer has a U-shaped container with a double-layered ribbon blade inside. This blade moves in two opposite directions, ensuring even mixing of all materials. It prevents clumps and uneven blending, making sure everything is mixed properly.

Materials are added from the top, and mixing begins immediately. The inner ribbon pulls ingredients toward the center, while the outer ribbon pushes them outward. This creates a continuous mixing cycle, ensuring that all particles, regardless of size or weight, are evenly blended.

The bottom discharge valve allows easy removal of the mixed product without leaving residue. This improves product recovery and reduces waste. The mixer also has an optional heating or cooling system, which helps control the temperature during mixing. This feature is useful for materials that need precise temperature control to maintain their quality.

Operational Efficiency

The horizontal ribbon mixer is built for fast and efficient mixing while using less energy. Its unique ribbon design blends materials quickly without causing excess heat, protecting heat-sensitive ingredients like powdered milk, cocoa, pharmaceutical excipients, enzymes, and herbal extracts from damage.

The mixer works slowly but effectively, ensuring thorough blending without affecting product quality. Its discharge system is designed to leave minimal residue, making it easy to recover materials and speed up batch transfers.

Manufacturers can customize the mixer with features like adjustable speed, different discharge valves, and automation options. These enhancements allow flexibility for various production needs, making the process smoother and reducing downtime.
