Stainless Steel Ribbon Mixer
A stainless steel ribbon mixer refers to a ribbon mixer that is constructed using stainless steel as the primary material for its mixing chamber and ribbons. Stainless steel is a popular choice for ribbon mixers due to its excellent properties, including corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of cleaning.
Common applications: Can handle a variety of materials including food ingredients, chemicals, powders and granules.
Common industries: food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics, etc. They are used to mix dry ingredients, blend powders, granules and viscous materials and produce homogeneous mixtures.
Here's the principle and steps involved in the mixing process of a ribbon mixer:
Loading: The materials to be mixed, such as powders, granules, or pastes, are loaded into the U-shaped trough of the mixer.
Rotation: The horizontal shaft, along with the inner and outer ribbon blades, starts rotating. The ribbon blades are designed to move the materials in a specific manner.
Shearing Action: As the ribbon blades rotate, they create a shearing action by moving the materials in opposite directions. The inner ribbon blade pushes the material in one direction, while the outer ribbon blade pushes it in the opposite direction. This shearing action helps break up clumps, agglomerates, or any cohesive particles present in the mixture.
Folding Action: The twisted design of the ribbon blades also causes a folding action as they move through the material. This folding action helps to further blend and homogenize the components, ensuring thorough mixing.
Circulation: The rotation of the ribbon blades also causes the materials to circulate within the mixing trough. This circulation helps to expose different parts of the mixture to the shearing and folding actions, promoting uniform mixing.
Discharge: Once the desired mixing time is achieved, the mixed material is discharged from the mixer through an outlet, typically located at the bottom of the trough.
