| The Ribbon
Blender can be used in either batch or continuous flow
form to achieve a homogenous blend of a wide range of
materials. It is a widely used style of blender and can
be found in the pharmaceutical, food, animal feeds,
confectionery, chemicals, fertilizer, plastics,
cosmetics, pigments and insecticides industries.
Digidale Ribbon Blenders are suitable for the
distribution of liquids, fragrances and slightly pasty
components in micro dosages onto carriers. |
| |
| Each unit
consists of a horizontally-mounted, 'U'-shaped trough
containing a double helix blender bar and a longitudinal
shaft of twin-bladed construction. Material is
introduced and mixed by means of an agitator. The
resultant mixing is gentle but with good shear and
impaction. |

| Design
Highlights - |
| |
| In double
helical design The outer ribbon displaces the material
from the ends to the center while the inner ribbon moves
the material from the center to the ends. This
counter-current action results in homogenous blending. |
| |
| An
alternate design is the paddle agitator. The paddles are
positioned to move the material in opposing lateral
directions as well as radially. The paddle design is
generally employed where friable materials are being
blended, and when batches as small as 15% of the total
capacity are going to be mixed in the blender. |
| |
| Triple
Mixing Action - The Key to Fast, Efficient Blending - |
| |
| As the
agitator rotates, the material is tumbled and carried
radially around the inside of the blender.The pitch of
the outer ribbon moves the material toward the discharge
opening.The inner ribbon which has an opposing pitch
moves the material away from the discharge opening |
