RIBBON BLENDERS
___________________________ __________________________________________ _____________________________ ________________ __ Since 1911
DESIGN, C AP APACITIES ACITIES AND AND DIMENSIONS APPLICATIONS Ribbon blenders are ideal for mixing most so lids and lightt pastes. The action of the inner and outer ribbons provide ef ficient and economical blending. Ribbon Blenders are used in all process industries including: • animal feed • bake mixes • catalysts • ceramics • cosmecs • ferlizers • food • instant drink mix • nutraceucals • pharmaceucals • pigments • plasc powders • prill • protein powders • resins • spices • sugar blends • vitamins
Fully welded and ground ribbons and support arms are clean and ef ficient.
Standard Design Features ●
Working capacities from 1 to 515 cubic fo ot standard. Up to 1,50 1,500 0 cubic foot c apacity available. available.
●
Sanitary design improves discharge and makes cleaning easier and more thorough.
●
Slide-gate discharge valve with pneumatic actuator (lab models IMB-1 and 2.5 are manual).
●

●
All internal and external welds are radiused, radiused, ground smooth, flush and pit free. 200 grit polish inside and out.
●
Packing gland housing is split for easy maintenance.
●
Provision for gas or liquid purge.
●
Sealed pillow block roller bearings.
●
