What is a horizontal ribbon mixer?
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.
RIbbon Mixer Structure
A typical horizontal ribbon mixer is mainly composed of the following parts:
U-shaped mixing trough
The container is a horizontal U-shaped trough for loading materials. Common materials are 304 or 316 stainless steel.
Double Helical Ribbon Agitator
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
Drive System
Usually, the motor + reducer structure is used to drive the agitator shaft to rotate, which has a compact structure and stable operation.
Discharge Valve
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.
Upper Cover
Used for feeding, maintenance and cleaning, some models can be equipped with a liquid spray system or dust removal interface.
Optional Features
Such as heating/cooling jacket, weighing system, liquid spray system, explosion-proof motor, etc.
Working Principle
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
