Features

• Most ribbon blenders consist of an engine to power operation, a large trough to hold the material and a ribboned agitator that does the mixing.
  
  

Identification

• A ribbon blender's agitator typically has metal ribbons, often in a double helical design, surrounding a central bar that extends the length of the trough. The ribbons are angled and balanced in such a way to continually move material within the container.
  
  

Uses

• Ribbon blenders are used to mix a wide range of both dry and wet materials, including such items as cake mixes, cereal, cocoa, cosmetics, flavorings, gelatin, instant formula, medications, pet food, salad dressing and seasonings.
  
  

Benefits

• Due to the agitator's unique design, a ribbon blender moves material inside the trough towards the discharge point, thoroughly mixing the contents without any dead spots.
  
  

Size

• Ribbon blenders come in a variety of sizes and capacities, with models designed to handle anywhere from as little as five liters of material all the up to 25,000 liters or more.
