Ribbon mixer is a kind of equipment used for mixing viscous or cohesive powder particles and adding liquid to powder particles and mixing paste materials. The following is a detailed introduction to the ribbon mixer:

First, the working principle

The ribbon mixer evenly mixes various materials by rotating the ribbon. This design can produce strong radial and axial flow, so that materials can be fully mixed in a short time and the mixing efficiency can be improved. The forward and backward rotating screw bars are installed on the same horizontal shaft, forming a low-power and high-efficiency mixed environment. Spiral ribbon blades are generally made into two or three layers. The outer spiral gathers the materials from both sides to the center, and the inner spiral transports the materials from the center to both sides, which can make the materials form more eddies in the flow.

Second, the structural characteristics

The mixing space of the ribbon mixer is a horizontal U-shaped barrel with an integral ribbon shaft in the barrel, and the motor reducer is located at the end face of the main equipment.

The equipment has compact structure and small floor space, which can save production space.

The ribbon mixer is simple and convenient to operate, and the operators do not need particularly high skills, only need to master some basic principles and precautions.

Third, advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

Good mixing effect: the materials can be mixed together by using the two-way rotating spiral belt, so that all components are evenly distributed and the quality of products is guaranteed.

Wide application range: it can mix a variety of dry powders, granules and paste materials without causing chemical reaction.

Low energy consumption: the spiral belt mixer has low power and low energy consumption, which can reduce the production cost.

Disadvantages:

Long mixing time: due to its design structure, the mixing time needs to be adjusted according to different material characteristics, which affects the production efficiency to some extent.

May cause material dusting: the high speed or uneven load of the ribbon mixer may cause material dusting, but it will not affect the use effect of the material.

Material wear is serious: this will affect the service life and use effect of the equipment, and it is necessary to replace the damaged parts frequently.

The equipment price is higher: the price of different brands and specifications of ribbon mixer will be different.

Fourth, the application field

Ribbon mixer is widely used in food, chemical industry, pharmacy, building materials, pesticides, dyes, plastics, ceramics, coatings, putty, mortar and other industries. Specifically, it can be used to stir paste-like, viscous or high-density materials, such as putty, real stone paint, metal powder and other products. At the same time, it can also be used to mix baby food, milk powder, cocoa, beverage powder, cake, starch, salt, livestock feed, animal food, developing powder, spices and other materials.
