Ribbon Blender (also named ribbon mixer) is a basic industrial mixing machine. They consist, basically, of a trough-shaped shell (usually 2 to 3 times longer than it is wide) with a semicircular bottom, fitted with a horizontal longitudinal shaft on which are mounted arms supporting a combination of ribbon blades, paddles or helical screws set at a fairly close clearance to the semicircular mixer body so that no layer of material remains on the bottom of the ribbon mixer.

The most effective design of Masterly® Ribbon layout is the double spiral in which the outer ribbon moves the product in one direction and the inner ribbon moves it in the opposite direction. The ribbons rotate and move materials both radially and laterally to insure thorough blends in short cycle times.

Industrial mixer that features a horizontal shaft with a ribbon-like design. The ribbon is typically shaped like a helix or a spiral and is attached to the shaft. As the shaft rotates, the ribbon moves the materials being mixed in a gentle, sweeping motion, ensuring efficient and thorough blending.Key Components

1. Ribbon: The ribbon is the primary mixing element, responsible for moving materials around the blender.
2. Shaft: The shaft is the horizontal axis that the ribbon is attached to, providing the rotational motion needed for mixing.
3. Blender Body: The blender body is the outer casing that contains the ribbon and shaft, providing a containment area for the materials being mixed.

How it Works

1. Material Input: Materials to be mixed are added to the blender through an inlet.
2. Rotation: The shaft and ribbon rotate, creating a gentle, sweeping motion that moves the materials around the blender.
3. Mixing: The materials are mixed and blended together, ensuring uniformity and consistency.

Construction Options for Every Application,

Sanitary Construction for Pharmaceutical Applications

For industries requiring the highest level of hygiene, Masterly’s ribbon mixers are designed to meet stringent sanitary standards:

• Materials: 304SS or 316SS with polished finishes.
• Hygienic Design: Smooth surfaces and fully washable configurations, including CIP (Clean-In-Place) options
• Applications: Perfect for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food products.

Agitators:

Masterly ribbon blenders feature double Ribbon fit to a solid stainless-steel shaft. We also offer paddle style agitators, as well as ribbon mixers with scraper blades.

Shaft Seals

Our ribbon blenders come standard with our Masterly packing glands. Packing glands feature a Teflon style rope which is compressed against the end plate, creating a barrier to keep the mixing product in the trough. These work very well for both dry and wet mixing applications.

As an upgrade for your blender, we also offer air purged seals for powders or slurry mixes. These air seals are ideal for scenarios requiring caustic wash downs and sanitary requirements. These seals are easy to disassemble for regular cleaning and offer years of service.

Optional: Mechanical Seal

Drives Motor

Masterly Blenders utilize Direct drive style gear motors, Chain Drive, or Belt Drive to power our equipment. These drive systems have proven highly reliable and require less maintenance.

Our standard drive motors offer a service factor for continual mixing throughout the day. Based on the capacity of your equipment we offer a drive motor consistent for normal mixing conditions; although we can modify this to higher powered equipment, different RPM and variable speed drive systems if requested.

Discharge system

Based on your mixing requirements your blender can be fitted with different styles of discharge systems. Our most common style discharge is a butterfly valve, which works well in wet mixing solutions as well as dry. For dry mixing we offer the Masterly slide gate in manually operated or pneumatically actuated. The benefit of our slide gate system is zero ‘dead spot’ in the mixer.

Our blender’s standard height is to set the discharge 24” from the ground, allowing for a pallet and barrel below the equipment. This height can be increased or decreased based on your needs.

Covers

Our blenders come standard with hand open lids. As an optional feature, we can add a Hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder for lifting.

Safety Systems

Masterly ribbon blenders are built with safety as our highest priority. Masterly ribbon blenders standard is to include ALL of our available safety equipment. These systems include micro switches to prevent the agitator from turning when the lid is open. We also offer safety grates on the top and discharge. All safety labeling is standard as well on Masterly equipment.
