Nauhasekoittimia

Nauhasekoittimia, also known as ribbon blenders, are a type of industrial mixing equipment used to blend dry, granular, or powdered materials. They consist of a U-shaped trough and a helical ribbon agitator that rotates within the trough. The ribbon agitator is designed with both inner and outer ribbons, which work in conjunction to move the material from the ends of the trough towards the center, and then outwards respectively. This counter-current action ensures a thorough and homogeneous mix.

The operation of a nauhasekoitin is typically straightforward. The materials to be blended are loaded into the trough, and the agitator is set in motion. The slow, continuous rotation of the ribbons gently lifts and folds the ingredients, minimizing particle degradation. This makes them suitable for delicate or abrasive substances. Nauhasekoittimia are commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and plastics. They are employed for tasks like mixing spices, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, and plastic pellets.

The capacity of nauhasekoittimia can vary widely, from small laboratory models to large industrial units capable of processing several cubic meters of material. They can be constructed from various materials, including stainless steel, to meet specific application requirements, such as corrosion resistance or cleanliness. Optional features may include heating or cooling jackets for temperature control during the mixing process, or spray nozzles for adding liquids. The design of the ribbon agitator can also be customized to optimize blending for different material properties.
