MillNest Ribbon Mixer (MRBL)

Ribbon blenders use inner and outer helical ribbons to move powder in opposing directions, creating convective mixing. They are widely used for dry blending when products have broadly similar densities and good flow.

Capabilities

  • Efficient bulk blending for many dry powders.
  • Optional liquid addition manifolds (process-dependent).
  • Scalable batch sizes with repeatable cycles.
