About this equipment

The UZX-990 ribbon blender blends powders, granules and viscous pastes in a horizontal U-shaped trough with a double ribbon on the shaft. It reaches a blend ratio of 1:500,000, which means 1 gram of additive spread evenly through a 500 kg batch. Total volume ranges from 30 to 30,000 L.

It is also known as a ribbon mixer or horizontal ribbon blender. It works with medium shear, more vigorous than a gentle blender and less aggressive than a high intensity system.

Models and capacities

The model code gives the total trough volume. The working volume is 40–60% of the total, so the material has room to be thrown and to move.

Power depends on the product and is increased for dense powders or pastes. We confirm it in the quote, together with the dimensions.

How the ribbon blender works

The outer ribbon moves material from the ends of the trough toward the center, while the inner ribbon moves it back toward the ends. The two opposite flows blend continuously.

As they turn, the ribbons lift and throw the material, so particles move freely both along the length and across the radius. The U shape of the trough leaves no zones where material stands still.

Medium shear breaks up soft agglomerates without damaging the particles, as happens in plough type units.

Strengths

• Blend ratio of 1:500,000, for additives and active ingredients in very small doses.

• Powders, granules and viscous pastes in the same machine.

• External bearings outside the product, so no contamination and easy maintenance.

• Air purged seal and gasketed cover, no dust in the plant.

• 12 sizes, from 30 to 30,000 L total volume.

Where a ribbon blender is used

• Animal feed, for vitamins and minerals spread evenly through grain.

• Food, for spice blends, instant drinks and infant formula.

• Building materials, for dry mortar, tile adhesives and textured wall coatings.

• Pharmaceuticals, for excipients blended with the active ingredient before tableting.

• Fine chemicals, for pigments and pesticide formulations.

• Adhesives, for caulks and thick pastes.

How to choose a ribbon blender

The batch size sets the model. The working volume is 40–60% of the total, so for 1,000 L of material you choose a 2,000 L blender.

Choose the ribbon blender for a blend ratio of 1:500,000 and when you also handle viscous pastes. For finer blends, as fine as 1:1,000,000, and for fragile materials, the right choice is the industrial paddle mixer UZX-991 for powders, 5–30,000 L.

Options

• Heating or cooling jacket with steam, water or thermal oil.

• Liquid injection, with spray bars and nozzles for binders, oils or flavors.

• Vacuum construction for deaeration or low temperature drying.

• Discharge valves, pneumatic flap, slide gate or bottom doors, for fast emptying with no residue.

• Sanitary design with internal welds ground and polished, for pharma and dairy.

• Automation, recipes and weighing on request.

Ribbon blender price and quote

The price depends on the volume, the materials, the sealing, the discharge valve and the options, such as the jacket or liquid injection. Send us your materials, their density and the batch size. UZINEX engineers will recommend the model and send you a quote.

Integrated solutions
for the factory of the future.

Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.

01
Industry

Plug & Play IIoT & Monitoring
