Sigma Blade Mixers with Cored Blades
Cored blades in sigma blade mixers are a critical requirement for many applications. Because sigma mixer blades are such a large mass of steel, the blades can become a troublesome heat sink and remain cold for many hours while attempting to heat the product through jacket mixing bowl. Cold blades can cause the product to stick to the overlapping sigma blades and not mix well.
Since heat-transfer from the jacket through the product and to the sigma blades would be very inefficient, the blades are gunned drilled and rotary unions fitted to both ends to allow the introduction of a heating medium including hot water, steam or oil.
Sigma blade mixers are also used for high-intensity mixing and compounding of solids including rubber, carbon, powder metals and ceramics.

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.

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

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
