Ribbon Mixer principle

Ribbon blenders are used to blend dry ingredients like powders. They have blades that look like big ribbons that spin inside a tank. The blades can be angled in different ways to get the best mixing for a product.

Type of Ribbon Mixers

There are a number of different type of mixers used in the feed industry with the most widely used being:

Vertical Ribbon Blenders – Used in small farms, they consist of a vertical screw which takes material to the top where it falls back down again, and repeats that process to mix materials

Horizontal Ribbon Mixers – Consisting of paddles or blades attached to a horizontal rotor, these mixers are normally mixer and can usually have a higher consistent homogeneity and short mixing times.
