Horizontal Ribbon Mixer working principle

A double-layer spiral blade is arranged on the transmission main shaft of the horizontal ribbon mixer. The inner spiral transports the material to the outside, and the outer spiral gathers the material to the inside. The materials form a low-power and high-efficiency mixing environment under the convective motion of the double-layer spiral belt. The inner and outer diameter spirals installed on the mixing shaft drive the materials in the barrel, allowing the mixer to turn the materials over the maximum range in the barrel. When the mixing device is working, the inner spiral drives the material near the axis to rotate on the axis, and pushes the axial direction from the inside to both sides. The outer spiral drives the material close to the barrel wall to rotate on the axis, and pushes the axial sirection from both sides to the inside. This mixture of materials able to mix evenly in a short time.

Horizontal Ribbon Mixer characteristic

1. Discharge mehod at he bottom of the mixer，that is, the powder material adopts a pneumatic large dorr structure, which has the advantages of fast discharge and no residue; high-fine materials or semi-fluid materials adopt manual butterfly valves or pneumatic butterfly valves. The manual butterfly valve is economical and applicable, and the pneumatic butterfly vlave. It has good sealing performance for semi-fluids, but the cost is higher than that of manual butterfly valves.

2. When heating or cooling is required, a jacket can be configured. There are two heating methods available: electric heating and thermal oil heating. Electric heating is convenient, but the heating rate is slow and the energy consumption is high. Thermal oil heating requires an oil pan, oil-conducting power and pipelines, which requires a large investment, but the heating rate is fast, lower energy consumption. The cooling process can directly inject cooling water into the jacket. The jacket has a large heat exchange area and a fast cooling speed.

3. The motor and the mixing spindle are directly connected through a cycloidal pinwheel reducer, which has a simple structure, high operating reliability and easy maintenance.
