Advantages of Horizontal Ribbon Mixer

Mild mixing which will not break the physical size of material
More loading factor:ribbon blender’s working volume is between 40%-70% 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 blender’s top cover is very large to touch into the inner surface for cleaning purpose.
Easy Maintenance: the structure of blender is very simple, easy to dismantle and maintenance

Ribbon Mixer Blender

Principle of Ribbon Mixer Blender

Ribbon blenders operate on combined convection and diffusion mechanisms. Convective mixing is the macro movement of large portions of the solids. Convection mixing occurs when the solids are turned over along the horizontal axis of the agitator assembly. The diffusion mixing involves the micromixing that occurs when individual particles are moved relative to the surrounding particles. In the ribbon, blender diffusion occurs when the particles in front of the ribbon are moved in one direction while nearby particles are not moved or lag behind. Together, these two types of action result in the mixing and blending of solids.

Construction of Ribbon Mixer Blender

A ribbon blender consists of a U-shaped horizontal trough containing a double helical ribbon agitator that rotates within, Fig. 8.3. The agitator’s shaft is positioned in the centre of the trough and has welded spokes on which the helical ribbons (also known as spirals) are welded. Since the ribbon agitator consists of a set of inner and outer helical ribbons, it is referred to as a “double” helical ribbon agitator. The gap between the ribbon’s outer edge and the internal wall of the container ranges from 3 to 6 mm depending on the application. The internal and external ribbon spirals are pitched to move material axially, in opposing directions as well as radially. This combination promotes fast and thorough blending. The agitator shaft is located within the blender container. A spray pipe for adding liquids is mounted above the ribbons. For materials that tend to form agglomerates during mixing, high-speed choppers can be provided for the disintegration of the agglomerates.

The ribbon blender is powered by a drive system comprised of a motor, gearbox, and couplings. These blenders are generally powered by a 10 – 15 HP motor for 1000 kg of product mass to be blended. The power requirement may range from 3 – 12 kW/m3 depending on the products to be blended. Top speeds are in the range of 300 feet/min are typical. The agitator shaft exits the blender container at either end, through the end plates bolted or welded to the container. The area where the shaft exits the container is provided with a sealing arrangement to ensure that material does not travel from the container to the outside and vice-versa. The blender assembly along with the drive system components viz. motor, gearbox, couplings, and bearing supports is mounted on a supporting frame.
