Efficient ribbon mixers for precise powder blending
Achieve consistent and uniform blending with this advanced U-Trough mixer, designed for precise mixing, homogenization, and de-aerating processes, ensuring optimal product quality and efficiency in your production line.
Mixes and Homogenizes Diverse Materials
The UT Ribbon Blender from Winkworth Machinery is an engineered-to-order solution for precise mixing and homogenization. The horizontal shaft blender features an innovative ‘U’ shaped trough and spiral or ribbon blades, ensuring efficient blending across diverse material types including powders, granules, and slurries. Commonly employed in industries such as adhesives, food, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics, it facilitates the production of items like hot melt glue sticks, marzipan, and porcelain tiles.
Capable of both batch and continuous operations, the UT Ribbon Blender can be tailored with working volumes from 25 to 11,500 liters, offering versatility for varied production scales. The dust-tight lid allows material addition without halting operation, and optional features like heating or cooling jackets, vacuum models for de-aerating, and ATEX certification for explosive environments further enhance its applicability. Constructed with robust materials such as 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance, the machine integrates seamlessly with existing production lines and offers easy maintenance with its accessible design and quick-cleaning features. Ideal for optimizing throughput, Winkworth’s ribbon blender ensures product integrity and process efficiency.
