Blending Action Ribbon Blender comprises
of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a specially
designed Double Helical Ribbon Agitator rotating
within. The Ribbon Agitator consists of a set
of inner and outer helical ribbons. Generally,
the outer ribbon flights displace the material
from the ends to the center while the inner
flights move the material from the center to
the ends. This counter-current action results
in homogenous blending. The ribbons rotate at
approximately 70 - 100 meters per minute and
move the material both radially and laterally
to ensure thorough blends in short cycle times.
Ribbon Blenders are used for blends that are
between 50% and 100% of the rated capacity.
An alternate design is the paddle agitator.
The paddles are positioned to move the material
in opposing lateral directions as well as radially.
The paddle design is generally employed where
friable materials are being blended, and when
batches as small as 15% of the total capacity
are going to be mixed in the blender.
