Ribbon Blenders for Large-Scale Powder Blending, Paste Mixing, Vacuum Drying

Built with up to 1000-cu-ft working capacities, large-scale Ross ribbon blenders are ideal for high-volume production of powder blends, pastes, and slurries. These versatile blenders can also function as vacuum dryers and are engineered for fast mixing, convenient discharge, easy cleaning, and low maintenance.

Shown is a 385-cu-ft ribbon blender driven by a 75-hp inverter-duty gear motor. It is equipped with a double ribbon agitator designed for center discharge through a pneumatically-operated dust-tight knife gate valve. Stuffing boxes are packed with braided Kevlar packing and include lantern rings for air purge when handling fine powders or abrasive materials. The two-piece cover features safety switches to prevent operation of the agitator when the cover is open.

Ross has close to 100 standard and sanitary models available from inventory for immediate rental or purchase. Customizations such as heating/cooling jacket, spray bar assembly, end wall scrapers, interchangeable paddle agitator, vacuum capability, bag dump station, load cells, and recipe controls are also offered.
