Klinkenberg Ribbon MixerPerfect Mixing Technology Tailored

The Klinkenberg Ribbon Mixer is a solution for homogeneous mixing of dry powders, granulates, and viscous pastes. With an innovative design, high efficiency, and versatile customization options, this mixer delivers unmatched performance across various sectors, including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemical industries.

Key Features of the Ribbon Mixer

Exceptional Mixing Performance

  • Precision up to 1:250,000:
    Even a small quantity of several grams is perfectly mixed in a batch.

  • Short mixing time, low energy consumption:
    The quad-dimensional mixing process increases efficiency without extra energy demand.

Innovative Operation

The mixer uses a quad ribbon shaft in a U-shaped mixing trough:

  • Horizontal:
    Materials move toward the ends and return to the center.

  • Vertical:
    Materials are lifted along the walls of the mixing tub and fall back down by gravity.

This process ensures consistent mixing, even for challenging applications.

Easy Operation and Hygienic Design

  • Easy loading and discharge:
    Materials are added from the top, while a dust-free discharge valve ensures quick, clean emptying.

  • Special design for food applications:

  • Optimized discharge valve: For fast, dust-free, and effortless emptying.
  • Lid with counterweight or gas springs for easy manual operation.

Versatile Options and ExtensionsThe Klinkenberg Ribbon Mixer can be customized to specific process requirements:

Drive Systems

  • Gear motors (direct drive).
  • Chain drives (indirect drive).

Thermal Functionalities

  • Heating or cooling jacket for process temperature control.

Spray Nozzles for Liquid Addition

  • Ideal for adding liquids during mixing via integrated spray nozzles.

Custom Ribbon Blades

  • Standard Ribbon: For general applications.
  • Interrupted Ribbon: For viscous or sticky materials.
  • Continuous Ribbon: Suitable for continuous processing.

Material Selection

Contact parts are available in various materials:

  • Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316/316L): Suitable for hygienic processes.
  • Titanium or Hastelloy: For abrasive or corrosive applications.
  • Steel

The Versatility of Ribbon Mixers

Batch processing is preferred in many industries and applications—either because it allows individual batches to be traced without compromising production capacity or creating system bottlenecks, or due to specific batch operation requirements.

Ribbon mixers can be designed for both batch and continuous operation. Klinkenberg's batch-type ribbon mixers can be built to handle product volumes of up to 10 m³. Their versatility in mixing solids, combined with the ability to perform heating, cooling, coating, and other processes, makes them a highly popular mixing solution.

Optimized Design for Maximum Mixing Performance

Klinkenberg ribbon mixers feature a U-shaped trough with one or two omega-shaped end sections. This geometry reduces dead zones and boosts efficiency. A single or twin horizontal shaft—supported by external bearings—rotates inside the mixing chamber, equipped with the quad-ribbon system. This setup makes the mixer suitable for a wide range of applications.

  • Suitable for fragile materials
  • Long lifespan with low maintenance
  • High and consistent mixing quality
  • Ribbon and paddle combination available
