Ribbon Blender

---

Ribbon Blender (also named ribbon mixer) is a basic industrial mixing machine. They consist, basically, of a trough-shaped shell (usually 2 to 3 times longer than it is wide) with a semicircular bottom, fitted with a horizontal longitudinal shaft on which are mounted arms supporting a combination of ribbon blades, paddles or helical screws set at a fairly close clearance to the semicircular mixer body so that no layer of material remains on the bottom of the ribbon mixer.

The most effective design of ribbon layout is the double spiral in which the outer ribbon moves the product in one direction and the inner ribbon moves it in the opposite direction. The ribbons rotate and move materials both radially and laterally to insure thorough blends in short cycle times. RC GLobal India Ribbon Blenders are all custom built to your specifications, to fit your mixing requirements so your business can run smoothly and efficiently.

We offer a range of standard equipment, and from there we can customize your equipment to fit your exact specifications, Capacity.

Advantages of Horizontal Ribbon Blender

• Mild mixing which will not break the physical size of material
• More loading factor ribbon blender’s working volume is between 40%-85% of the total nominal volume, but generally speaking, 60% is maximum loading ratio of ribbon blender when mix heavy bulk density material
• Easy Cleaning usually, the opening at ribbon blender’s top cover is very large to touch into the inner surface for cleaning purpose.
• Easy Maintenance the structure of ribbon blender is very simple, easy to dismantle and maintenance
• Low Power Energy.

Additionally:-

we can build to custom sizes for particular batch sizes, as well as larger blenders up to 25,000 Liter (1 CU. Ft. to 800 CU. Ft) (Non-standard sizes increases build time and cost)

Construction Material:-

All of our standard series ribbon blenders are manufactured in 304 Stainless Steel. SS304 meets food grade requirements; and offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear and tear, and ensures a long life and the value of your equipment. For certain applications where high levels of corrosive agents are present, we can manufacture in SS316, SS316L Mild Steel.

Drive Motors:-

RC GLobal RC GLobal India Blenders utilize direct drive style gear motors to power our equipment. Direct drive systems have proven highly reliable and require less maintenance than traditional chain drive systems. Our standard drive motors offer a service factor for continual mixing throughout the day. Based on the capacity of your equipment we offer a drive motor consistent for normal mixing conditions; although we can modify this to higher powered equipment, different RPM and variable speed drive systems if requested.

Shaft Seals:-

Our ribbon blenders come standard with our RC GLobal India packing glands. Packing glands feature a Teflon style rope which is compressed against the end plate, creating a barrier to keep the mixing product in the trough. These work very well for both dry and wet mixing applications. As an upgrade for your blender we also offer air purged seals for powders or slurry mixes. These air seals are ideal for scenarios requiring caustic wash downs and sanitary requirements. These seals are easy to disassemble for regular cleaning and offer years of service.

Based on your mixing requirements your blender can be fitted with different styles of discharge systems. Our most common style discharge is a butterfly valve and Knife Gate Valve, Screw Conveyor. Our blender’s standard height is to set the discharge 10” from the ground, allowing for a pallet and barrel below the equipment. This height can be increased or decreased based on your needs.

Covers:-

Our blenders come standard with hand open lids. (Equiped with Hydraluic Cylender for easy lifiting) As an optional feature, we can add a pneumatic cylinder for lifting.
