Ribbon Blender Mixing & Blending Applications
Ribbon blenders are one of the most versatile, cost effective and commonly used mixers for dry solids in all process industries from general chemical to food, pharmaceutical, agricultural chemicals and polymers.
Ribbon blenders are ideal for mixing most solids and light pastes. The action of the inner and outer ribbons provides efficient and economical blending.
Ribbon Blenders are used in all process industries including:
- Animal feed
- Bake Mixes
- Catalysts
- Ceramics
- Cosmetics
- Fertilizers
- Food
- Instant Drink Mix
- Nutraceuticals
- Pharmaceuticals
- Pigments
- Plastic Powders
- Prill
- Protein Powders
- Resins
- Spices
- Sugar Blends

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.
