Ribbon Blender
Abster’s Ribbon Blender is a high speed, high capacity batch mixer for the homogeneous blending of dry, free-flowing solids. It comprises of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a specially designed double helical ribbon agitator rotating within. Ribbon blenders are based on a proven agitator construction that provides a triple mixing action ensuring fast and efficient blending. The dimensions and configuration of the ribbons are carefully balanced to provide movement of material within the container that avoids dead spots and gives rapid product discharge. The mixer is available in machine sizes ranging from 100 to 5000 liters.
We are a leading ribbon blender manufacturer & supplier in India. We manufacture customized ribbon blenders as per the requirement of the customer or the industry. It is mainly applied in processing industries such as food, feed, chemicals, petrochemicals, plastics and flour milling for blending premixes and ready-made mixes.

How the Ribbon Blender (mixer) Works
A Ribbon Blender machine consists of a horizontal trough with a central shaft and a helical ribbon agitator. Mixing results from the turbulence induced by counteracting Ribbons. There are two sets of Counter acting Ribbons – Outer Ribbon, Inner Ribbon. Both ribbons mounted on the same shaft. Ribbons has close Trough clearance which provides a region of high shear force near the wall thereby achieving both bulk blending and dispersive mixing.
Ribbons are design to obtain complete and thorough mixing. Ribbon Blender mixer is designed in such a way that along with vertical movement, material to be mixed will have to and fro motion. Diametric size of the ribbon keeps some proportion with the volume of the vessel so that the power required to drive the machine will be less. The ribbon causes all the material to circulate using only 5% of the power needed by the turbine.
When the economy of the mixing equipment are taken into consideration the ribbon blender is the best suited machine for better result in the field of chemical, pharmaceutical and allied industries.
The Ribbon machine is manufactured in the combination of Mild Steel and Stainless Steel. The product to machine contact parts will be in Stainless Steel and remaining is in Mild Steel to reduce the total cost of the machine. cGMP models are also available.
