Efficiency and Hygiene in One SystemMore than mixing – suitable for heating, cooling, and fast product changeovers

The versatility of the ribbon mixer for blending solids, combined with the ability to perform heating, cooling, coating, and other processes, makes it a highly popular mixer. Klinkenberg has the necessary experience and is constantly improving its technology.

The criteria for selecting the right mixer design now go far beyond the basic functional features of the ribbon mixer. The decisive factor for the ribbon mixer’s quality is no longer just its basic process functionality. Attention must first be paid to design details that are crucial for hygiene standards, easy cleanability, and quick product changeovers in varying production environments.

Ribbon Mixers with a Twin-Shaft System

Ribbon mixers with twin-shaft agitators can process larger batch volumes and offer high volumetric throughput in continuous operation, allowing for a more compact mixer design. With two agitators, the mixing intensity is high and the mixing time is short. In addition, such mixers offer flexible production volumes: hourly, per shift, daily, weekly, or annually. A downside is that strict batch separation is harder to achieve compared to batch mixers. Product quality is usually maintained inline by applying process automation.

  • Ensure a stable and continuous feed.
  • Ensure correct dosing ratios for additives.
  • Additives under 5% should be pre-mixed.
  • Productivity is determined by feed rate.
