Horizontal ribbon mixer is an efficient and uniform powder mixing equipment, suitable for various dry powders, granular materials and powder-liquid mixing processes. It has a compact structure, simple operation and convenient cleaning, and is widely used in chemical, food, pharmaceutical, building materials, minerals, feed and other industries.
A typical horizontal ribbon mixer is mainly composed of the following parts:
The container is a horizontal U-shaped trough for loading materials. Common materials are 304 or 316 stainless steel.
The inner and outer ribbons are spirally arranged in opposite directions:
The outer ribbon pushes the material from both ends to the middle
The inner ribbon pushes the material from the middle to both ends
Realize convection, shear and diffusion mixing of the material

Usually, the motor + reducer structure is used to drive the agitator shaft to rotate, which has a compact structure and stable operation.
Located in the center of the bottom, it is generally equipped with a pneumatic or manual butterfly valve/ball valve, which allows fast discharge and less residue.

Used for feeding, maintenance and cleaning, some models can be equipped with a liquid spray system or dust removal interface.
Such as heating/cooling jacket, weighing system, liquid spray system, explosion-proof motor, etc.
When the equipment is running, the motor drives the reducer to rotate the stirring shaft, and the double-layer spiral ribbon produces strong material flow:
The outer spiral ribbon pushes the material from both ends to the center along the cylinder wall
The inner spiral ribbon transports the material from the center to both ends
Forming a continuous annular compound motion, which promotes the full mixing of materials in a short time

Karvil Machinery supplied a 10L fully explosion-proof sigma mixer with screw extrusion discharge and cooling system to a UK customer processing organic siloxane copolymer modified acid resin. The customer shared excellent feedback and real operation video.
Modern industrial blenders comply with CE, ATEX, food-grade standards while boosting mixing efficiency & safety.
Optimized sigma blade design delivers maximum torque with minimal power for high-viscosity mixing efficiency.
Recently, we successfully manufactured and shipped a highly customized 50L Explosion-Proof Vacuum Planetary Mixer to one of our long-term overseas partners. This advanced equipment will be directly applied to a highly demanding and sensitive project: the research and manufacturing of engine propellants. Repeat Orders: The Ultimate Proof of Quality and Trust This successful delivery marks another milestone in our ongoing partnership with this valued VIP client. Over the years, they have continuously chosen our mixing solutions, having previously purchased our Kneader Machines and standard Planetary Mixers. Thanks to the exceptional stability, reliable long-term performance, and our prompt after-sales support, our machines have earned high praise from their engineering team. When their new engine propellant production line required a mixer with ultra-high safety and precision standards, they bypassed other suppliers and entrusted this critical project to us once again.
We are proud to announce the successful manufacturing and testing of our latest customized equipment: a 300L Explosion-Proof Vacuum Sigma Kneader. This high-performance Z-blade mixer is currently being packaged and will soon be shipped to our long-term strategic partner in Romania. Designed specifically for compounding Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) and adding high-density fillers, this machine represents our commitment to providing safe, efficient, and heavy-duty mixing solutions for the rubber and chemical industries.
