The Horizontal Ribbon Blender is a high-efficiency, batch mixing system engineered for the homogeneous blending of dry powders, granules, and low-viscosity pastes. Featuring a U-shaped horizontal trough and a dual helical ribbon agitator, this system generates radial and axial mixing flows, ensuring rapid and uniform material dispersion even with minor component ratios.
Constructed with robust stainless steel (SS304 or SS316L) for hygienic and corrosion-resistant operation, the blender is designed for repeatable performance, easy cleanability, and long-term mechanical stability under continuous-duty conditions.
Key Technical Features:Precision-fabricated U-shaped mixing trough with mirror-finished interior (Ra ≤ 0.4 µm) to minimize material retention and enhance cleanability
Contra-rotating inner and outer helical ribbons for multidirectional mixing: outer ribbon moves material toward the center; inner ribbon moves it outward
Heavy-duty shaft supported by flange-mounted bearings with double mechanical seals to prevent contamination and product leakage
Customizable batch capacity (ranging from 25 liters to 5000+ liters) with filling volume up to 70% of total vessel capacity
Direct-coupled gearbox drive or chain-driven reduction system for torque-efficient, low-noise operation
Top-mounted charging port with hinged safety cover and optional dust extraction port
Bottom discharge valve (butterfly, slide gate, or pneumatically actuated) for residue-free unloading
Integrated control panel with VFD for variable ribbon speed and digital batch monitoring
Optional spray nozzles for liquid dosing and binder addition during mixing
Conforms to cGMP, FDA, and ASME standards, with optional CIP/SIP (Clean/Sterilize-in-Place) capabilities
Ideal for applications in pharmaceutical blending, nutritional supplements, flavoring agents, cosmetic bases, and chemical compounding, the Horizontal Ribbon Blender offers high-speed, low-shear mixing, uniform blend quality, and scalable performance across a wide range of process conditions.
