About this equipment

The UZX-999 vertical ribbon blender blends free flowing powders, granules and pellets in a vertical conical vessel. The agitator has an outer spiral ribbon and an inner screw that turn together on a fixed axis. Total volume ranges from 30 to 30,000 L.

It reaches a 1:500,000 blend ratio and empties the vessel with no residue, so no expensive raw material is lost. It takes up less floor space than a horizontal machine.

Power depends on the product and may vary. We confirm it in the quote, together with the weight and dimensions.

How the vertical ribbon blender works

The spiral ribbon follows the conical wall and lifts the material from the bottom to the surface, while the inner screw adds a second upward flow. The material then falls back by gravity and blends in every direction.

The whole drive sits on top, so lubricant cannot reach the product. The conical bottom lets the vessel empty with no residue.

Strengths

• Blend ratio of 1:500,000 for trace additives.

• Small minimum load. A unit of 1,000 L blends 100 L well, against 300–400 L in a horizontal machine of the same size.

• Residue free discharge, with no loss of expensive raw materials.

• No contact between lubricant and product.

• Small footprint on the plant floor.

Where a vertical ribbon blender is used

• Food, for infant formula, spices and instant drinks.

• Chemicals and plastics, for coating polymers and high purity pigments.

• Advanced materials, for metallic powders used in additive manufacturing.

• Pharmaceuticals, for active ingredients with excipients and drying of intermediates.

• Agriculture, for mineral blends and fertilisers.

How to choose a vertical ribbon blender

Choose the vertical ribbon blender when batch sizes vary widely, floor space is short and raw materials are expensive. The largest batch sets the model, because the unit works from 10% of its volume.

For even gentler blending with an orbiting screw, see the conical screw mixer UZX-998 for sensitive powders, 30–30,000 L. For blends as fine as 1:1,000,000, the right choice is the vertical paddle mixer UZX-1000 for powders and granules, 30–20,000 L.

Options

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

• High speed side choppers to break up lumps.

• Spray nozzles for liquid binders and a sampling unit.

• Vacuum dryer version for wet powders or slurries.

• PLC and touchscreen control.

• Tungsten carbide coating on the agitator for abrasive products.

Vertical ribbon blender price and quote

The price depends on the volume, the materials, the jacket and vacuum, the choppers and the automation. Send us your materials, the recipe 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

See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.

  • OEE dashboard on your phone from day one
  • Fits any machine, with no production downtime
  • Investment recovered in 3-6 months
