Advantages of Choosing VORTEX Ribbon Blender
What is a Ribbon Blender?
Ribbon Blender (also named ribbon mixer) is a basic industrial mixing machine. Vortex ribbon blender consists, basically, of a trough-shaped shell (usually 2 to 3 times longer than its 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 approx. 5mm clearance to the semicircular mixer body so that no layer of material remains on the bottom of the ribbon mixer at discharging materials.
How does a Ribbon Blender Work?
The most effective design of Vortex 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 helical ribbons rotate and move materials both radially and laterally, and thus mixing materials form convection & tumble motion to insure thorough mixing homogeneity in short cycle times (usually 2-10 minutes). Vortex ribbon agitators are designed for loading ratio that will be 40% – 60% of ribbon blender’s nominal capacity.

Application
What does a ribbon blender do?
Vortex ribbon blender is a versatile batch type mixer for blending powder & bulk materials.
This blender is broadly used in food, chemical, pharmaceutical, building materials, plastic, and other processing industries, whichever need to blend raw materials homogenously together.
Ribbon blender features economic price, stable performance. Equipped with jacket, vortex ribbon blender can heat, cool or dry materials under vacuum condition; equipped with liquid spray system, it can coat liquid materials on solid granules.
