Ribbon Blender By Innovative Engineering Works

A ribbon blender is a type of mixing equipment used to blend dry powders, granules, or pastes in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Here's a description of a typical ribbon blender:

Key Components:

1. U-shaped Horizontal Tank: A stainless steel or food-grade material tank with a U-shaped design.
2. Ribbon Agitator: A double helical or spiral ribbon-shaped agitator that rotates to mix the product.
3. Motor and Gearbox: A powerful electric motor and gearbox that drives the ribbon agitator.
4. Inlet and Outlet Ports: Ports for adding ingredients and discharging the mixed product.
5. Cover and Safety Features: A removable cover and safety features like limit switches and emergency stops.

Working Principle:

1. Ingredients are added through the inlet port.
2. The ribbon agitator rotates, moving the product from the center to the ends of the tank.
3. The product is mixed and blended uniformly due to the ribbon's continuous motion.
4. The mixed product is discharged through the outlet port.

Features:

- Gentle mixing action to prevent product damage
