The details you don't know about the Ribbon mixer
The ribbon mixer is also known as the ribbon mixer, the U-shaped trough mixer, etc. Although it is a common mixing machine for the food industry, chemicals, pharma, etc, there are also some details you don’t know about it.?
1.?The volume (capacity)
Strictly speaking, we consider the capacity should be the maximum working capacity, for the powder or solids, we also use the “volume”?to calculate the liter to choose the suitable machine type. Due to the powder or solid having different densities, it leads the different stacking capacities to occupy different U barrels. And for the effective mixing process, we need to leave enough space in the barrel to let the spiral ribbon do the rotary mixing action. So the best percentage of the barrel is 60%-80%
2.?The material of the ribbon blender
We recommend you the food-grade stainless steel 304 to make the ribbon mixer, especially for the food industry, highly sensitive chemical industry, etc. If the material has corrosive, we also recommend SS316L which is more durable and corrosion-resistant to reduce the production of harmful substances to pollute the mixture. But due to the rising price of stainless steel, for the large capacity ribbon blender, to achieve the max. value for the ribbon mixer, the combination of carbon steel and stainless steel is also a good choice.

3.?The discharge way
There are two ways for discharging, the pneumatic valve and the manual butterfly valve. They all have the advantages for the ribbon mixer, when you chose the way, we recommend you consider the further powder handling process and the convenience of employee operation.?
