Ribbon Blenders consist of a U-shaped trough and a specially fabricated ribbon agitator. A ribbon agitator consists of a set of inner and outer helical agitators. The outer ribbon moves materials in one direction and the inner ribbon moves materials in the opposite direction. The ribbons rotate at approximately 300 fpm - moving materials both radially and laterally to assure blends in short cycle times. Ribbon agitators are used for blends that will be between 40% and 100% of the rated capacity of the blender.
