Mixing & Blending

Mixing & Blending

Paul O. Abbe®offer four types of solids blenders and mixers for solids and pastes of all viscosities:

Ribbon Blenders and Paddle Mixers are cost effective and widely used for blending solids and light pastes in all process industries. The moderate shear of the ribbon or paddle mixer naturally breaks down lumps and agglomerates. These horizontal ribbon and paddle mixers are efficient, rugged and economical. Dual-shaft paste mixers, heating jacket and vacuum designs are also available. Learn more about our high viscosity mixers.

Tumble Blenders include the original Rota-Cone® Double Cone Blender and Rota-V Blenders. Tumble blending offers a simple low-shear method of mixing all solids including friable and delicate solids. The clean internal design provides complete discharge and easy cleaning.

CrossMix® Fluidizing Mixers gently blends solids in a weightless zone in as lttle as 7 seconds. The CrossMix® is fast because it's efficient. The CrossMix® is ideal for mixing applications requiring high homogeneity or blending delicate and friable solids from trial mix or fertilize prill to crystalline pharmaceuticals crystals. The CrossMix® is also designed to quickly coat solids with liquids and oils.

Ribbon Blenders

Paul O. Abbe designs and manufactures ribbon blenders which are ideal for blending dry, free-flowing solids with bulk densities up to 70 pounds per cubic foot (1.1 g/cc) depending on material characteristics including, particle size, size distribution and particle shape (morphology), angle of repose, cohesiveness and moisture level. Ribbon blender are used for all dry foods products, nutraceuticals, protein powder mixes, dry juice mixes, chemicals, fertilizer, insecticides, colorants, resins and polymers. The moderate shear of the ribbon or paddle naturally breaks down lumps and agglomerates. Ribbon blenders are extremely efficient and economical.

Rota-Cone Blenders

Tumble Blenders include the original ABBE Rota-Cone® Double Cone Blender and the Rota-V Blenders. Tumble blending offers the lowest shear method of mixing friable or delicate solids. The simple double-cone or V-designs provide complete discharge. Because there is no agitator there are no seals and they are easily inspected and cleaned. For these reasons, Tumble Blenders are often employed by the food and pharmaceuticals industrie

CrossMix® Fluidizing Mixer

The CrossMix® is a twin-paddle mixer that gently lifts and fluidizes solids in a weightless zone where particles of any size or shape can move freely and mix rapidly. Mixing can be completed in as little as 7 to 20 seconds. The CrossMix® is most beneficial for solids that require very high homogeneity, are fragile such a
