Homogenous blending solution for powders and granules

Achieve precise, homogenous blending of challenging materials like sticky or moist powders, ensuring consistent product quality and efficient mixing in both batch and continuous operations.

Mixes and Blends Powders and Granules

The Gardner Ribbon Mixer by Kemutec is engineered to address the challenges of achieving consistent, homogenous mixing in diverse industrial applications. This versatile machine processes free-flowing materials using a robust helix ribbon agitator, ensuring precise axial and radial flow to maintain blend consistency. Designed for both batch and continuous operations, it can handle a range of products including protein powder blends, cake batter, and seasoning powders, with capacities from 35L to 20,000L.

Ideal for food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemical production, the mixer integrates easily into existing systems with features such as a cantilevered shaft for hygienic operation and low-energy consumption. Configurable with options like U-shaped or circular mixing troughs, pressure and vacuum capability, and liquid addition facilities, it allows customization to meet specific process requirements. Users benefit from easy access for cleaning and the option for CIP systems to minimize downtime and contamination risk. This machine complies with industry standards, offering reliable performance and longevity with engineered support tailored to customer needs.
