Ribbon Blender

Ribbon Blenders are the most commonly used blenders. The products to be mixed constantly circulate from end to end, making the Ribbon Blender particularly good for blending minor additives in a mix. The agitator consists of an outer ribbon which moves the product from the ends to the centre while the inner ribbon moves the product from the centre to the ends. The agitator design lends itself to mix low-density free flowing products with a high degree of efficiency and accuracy.

Fresco Ribbon Blenders are available in single, double or triple ribbons with either central or end discharge. The close tolerance of the ribbon to the body ensures nearly 100% product discharge.
