Tech Brief: Reduce Contamination Risks In Your Ribbon Blender Operation
Many processes rely on ribbon blenders for reliable, fast and cost-effective mixing. Ribbon blenders are commonly used for dry blends from powdered beverages to polymer pellets, as well as for wet applications such as extruded snack foods and plaster slurries.
Discharge of finished product from the blender is typically done by gravity with assistance from the ribbon agitator. A small quantity of material always remains in the blender since the outer ribbon does not contact the horizontal trough. The blender may be cleaned with a brush, steam, air or water spray. The level and frequency of clean-up varies from one process to another and depends on the various recipes being made on the blender.
