What is powder ribbon mixer?

The powder ribbon mixer is a device used to mix powder materials. It is usually used in industrial production to evenly mix dry powder raw materials. The design of this mixer is based on a U-shaped horizontal trough with a spiral mixer inside. The materials are effectively mixed by rotating the mixer. The powder ribbon mixer can be customized according to your needs, including mixing time (between 3 and 15 minutes), mixing volume per time (100-6000kg, or even more), and contact material material (carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, etc.). It is very suitable for mixing various powders and granular materials, such as medicines, foods, chemical raw materials, etc., and can quickly and evenly mix materials of different densities and particle sizes.

Efficiency differences between powder ribbon mixer and powder paddle mixer

Mixing Intensity: Powder ribbon mixers generally provide a more intense mixing action due to the cascading effect of the ribbons.

Material Handling: Paddle mixers can be more aggressive in their handling of materials, which can be beneficial for breaking up clumps or agglomerates but may also damage delicate materials.

Material Properties: Ribbon mixers are often preferred for materials with varying densities and particle sizes, while paddle mixers may be more suitable for materials with similar properties.

In summary, powder ribbon mixers are generally more efficient for achieving a homogeneous mixture of dry powders and granules, especially when dealing with materials with varying properties. However, paddle mixers can be a viable option for certain applications, such as breaking up clumps or mixing materials with similar properties.

The optimal choice between a powder ribbon mixer and a powder paddle mixer depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the properties of the materials being mixed, the desired level of homogeneity, and the sensitivity of the materials to mechanical stress.

Composition structure of powder ribbon mixer

Powder ribbon mixer usually consists of a frame, motor, spiral belt, hopper, discharge port, etc.

The frame supports the entire equipment, the motor drives the spiral belt to rotate, the hopper is used to load materials, and the discharge port is used to discharge the mixed materials.

The spiral belt is the core component of the mixer, and the material is mixed through its rotation.

Some powder ribbon mixers may also include heating or cooling devices to meet specific production needs.

Custom Design Options

Powder ribbon mixers can be customized and adapted to suit the varying demands of individual applications.

These typically include

1. Stainless steel and carbon steel are usually used.

2. Choice of mixing trough shapes – U-shaped or circular.
