HOW IT WORKS:
The basic RBM series Ribbon Mixer is comprised of a U-shaped trough, a horizontally mounted shaft with double-ribbon agitators, the trough cover for feeding (loading hopper is an option), a bottom valve for discharging, complete driving system and support frameworks.
During the mixing operation of the Ribbon Blender, materials are moved in a way that a part of them from center to the ends of container, while simultaneously the other part from end walls to the center; besides, materials are also lifted by the double-ribbon agitators and then drops by gravity. With such a three-dimensional motion, the total materials in the trough can be mixed efficiently within a short time.
Due to its less aggressive mixing, Ribbon Blenders ask for relatively lower power consumption compared with Ploughshare Mixers.
