LMRBMX Food-Grade Industrial Ribbon Blenders/Mixers
The LMRBMX Food-Grade Industrial Ribbon Blenders/Mixers are a basic industrial mixing machine widely used in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and many other industries. They basically consist of a trough-shaped shell, usually 2 to 3 times longer than its width, with a semicircular bottom and fitted with a horizontal longitudinal shaft. The shaft has mounted arms supporting a combination of ribbon blades, paddles, or helical screws set at a fairly close clearance to the semicircular mixer body, so that, no layer of material remains on the bottom of the ribbon mixer. The most effective design of ribbon layout is the double spiral type of ribbon blenders, in which, the outer ribbon moves the product in one direction and the inner ribbon moves it in the opposite direction which maximizes the mixing efficiency.
The ribbons rotate and move materials both radially and laterally to insure thorough blends in short cycle times. Ribbon agitators are generally loaded for blends between 40% to 70% of the rated capacity to ensure effective and efficient mixing action.
Advantages of Horizontal Ribbon Blenders
- 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 the maximum loading ratio of ribbon blender when mixing heavy bulk density material
- Easy Cleaning: Usually, the opening at the ribbon blender’s top cover is very large to reach the inner surface for cleaning purposes
- Easy Maintenance: The structure of the ribbon blender is very simple, easy to dismantle, and maintain
- High Efficiency: Consumes lower power compared to the mixing effect
