Types
Single Ribbon Blenders
Single ribbon blenders, often known as a single shaft ribbon blender, consist of one helical ribbon agitator. This type of blender is ideal for blending bulk materials that don’t require a high degree of mixing precision.
Simpler Design: With only one ribbon, these blenders tend to have fewer parts and a simpler design, making maintenance easier.
Best For Coarse Blends: Ideal for materials that blend easily and don't require an intensive mix.
Double Ribbon Blenders
Double ribbon blenders feature two helical ribbon agitators on the same shaft: one inner and one outer ribbon. This design facilitates a balanced movement of material within the blender, ensuring a thorough mix.
Efficient Mixing: The dual ribbons promote consistent and uniform mixing by moving materials both radially and laterally.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials, from fine powders to coarse granules.
Optimal for Medium to High Viscosity Mixes: The double ribbon setup is great for mixes that require a higher degree of precision and uniformity.
Triple Ribbon Blenders
As the name suggests, triple ribbon blenders come equipped with three separate ribbon agitators. These are typically structured with one central ribbon and two side ribbons, providing an even more intensive mixing action.
Features
Intensive Mixing: The three ribbons ensure maximum material movement, resulting in a highly uniform mix.
Perfect for Difficult Blends: Especially useful for materials that are challenging to blend or require very fine and homogeneous mixing.
Increased Capacity: The extra ribbon allows for larger batch sizes without compromising mix quality.
