Horizontal Ribbon Mixer (WLDH Series) – High-Efficiency Powder Blending Solution

Are you looking for an industrial mixing solution that achieves maximum homogeneity without compromising material integrity? Our Horizontal Ribbon Mixer (also known as a Ribbon Blender) is engineered for blending powder-to-powder, granule-to-powder, and powder with minor liquid injections.

Featuring an innovative double-layer counter-current ribbon agitator, this machine ensures perfect homogeneous mixing even for complex materials with extreme mixing ratios up to 1:1,000 or even 1:10,000.

Key Features & Industrial Advantages

Double-Layer Counter-Current Mixing: The specialized ribbon agitator consists of inner and outer helical ribbons. The outer ribbon moves materials from both sides toward the center, while the inner ribbon pushes materials from the center to both sides. This intense convective fluidization ensures that viscous powders or highly disparate materials are blended thoroughly.

Excellent Particle Protection: Engineered with precise clearances and optimal rotational speed, the machine exerts minimal physical shear, ensuring that delicate granules maintain their original shape and properties.

Flexible Structural Customization:

  • Agitator Variations: Can be modified into a paddle-type agitator or integrated with high-speed choppers (fly-cutters) to break up agglomerates and lumps.
  • Lid Design options: Choose an Arched Lid for pressure-resistant, positive pressure, or vacuum operations, or a Fully Open Lid for seamless, zero-dead-angle cleaning—ideal for frequent batch changes.

Multi-Functional Process Integration: Fully customizable to your processing requirements. We can integrate heating or cooling jackets, positive pressure seals, and vacuum drying modules.

FAQs

A: Model selection is mainly based on material bulk density and target batch volume, rather than simple weight (kg). The WLDH series capacity is calculated based on standard material density.

For different materials, the required volume can be estimated using:
Volume = Weight / Density

The effective mixing volume of a ribbon mixer is typically 40%–60% of the total cylinder volume. This ensures proper mixing efficiency while avoiding overloading or insufficient blending.

For most dry powders, the mixing time is typically 5–15 minutes per batch to achieve uniform blending.

Actual mixing time may vary depending on:

  • Additive ratio and formulation complexity (up to high-precision mixing requirements)
  • Material flowability
  • Particle size distribution

Yes. The WLDH ribbon mixer can be fully customized for chemical and hazardous working conditions.

Available safety configurations include:

  • ATEX / explosion-proof motors and electrical systems
  • Gas-purged mechanical shaft seals to prevent leakage
  • Pressure-resistant sealed cover for vacuum or positive-pressure operation

These features ensure safe and reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Yes. The WLDH ribbon mixer is suitable for adding small amounts of liquid, such as oils, flavorings, or binding agents during mixing.

For high-viscosity or sticky materials, customization options are available, including:

  • Increased motor torque for stronger mixing power
  • Adjusted ribbon clearance for improved material flow
  • Paddle-type agitator for enhanced mixing performance

These configurations ensure stable operation and uniform blending without material buildup or machine stalling.

For industries requiring frequent material changes (such as food, pharmaceutical, and new energy materials), we recommend a fully open lid design.

Key cleaning advantages include:

  • Full interior accessibility for cleaning
  • Mirror-polished stainless steel surface for easy residue removal
  • U-shaped tank design with no dead corners

This structure significantly reduces cross-contamination risk and improves cleaning efficiency.

For the new energy and lithium battery industry, strict “zero metal contamination” standards can be achieved through advanced surface treatment options.

Available solutions include:

  • Non-metallic ceramic lining (such as tungsten carbide coating)
  • Polyurethane or wear-resistant protective coating
  • Full contact-part protection on tank and ribbon agitator

These treatments ensure high material purity for cathode and anode production processes.
