Ribbon mixers are machines used for mixing powdery and granular materials. They feature ribbon-shaped blades rotating in a U-shaped or cylindrical container.
The mixer achieves uniformity by creating convection in the material through the alternating rotation of inner and outer blades. This motion causes the material to move repeatedly and be stirred vertically, leading to a uniform mixture.
Ribbon mixers are widely used in various applications, including mixing confectionery, bread, powdered seasonings, paints, adhesives, chemicals, cement, and fertilizers.They are the most commonly used machines for mixing powdery and granular materials.
