Description
Horizontal Ribbon Mixers are useful and sought after blenders which are mainly uses in the pharmaceutical industry. The machine has a U-shaped shell in which you will find a rotating agitator. Ribbon blenders are fairly simple in construction and operation. It is pretty robust and offers a decent mixing performance owing to which it is considered perfect for powders and solids mixing. Ribbon mixers are available in a wide array of sizes and capacities ranging from just a few liters to several cubic meters.
Working Principle U Trough Mixer
Ribbon blenders are also known as U trough mixers and they demonstrate a simple and yet effective mixing operation methodology. These blenders work on two major principles- convective mixing and diffusion. Convective mixing can be understood as macro movement of large sized solids. The other type of mixing, diffusion mixing takes place when individual particles in front of the ribbon move in a particular direction and the nearby particles do not move at all or lag behind.
The horizontal mixing vessel of the rubber blender is fed with the material from top by using the feeding devices provided and mounted near the cover. Since the horizontal ribbon blender causes material movements in different directions, you can expect astonishingly perfect homogeneous mixing. There are one or more discharge valves provided for material discharge.
