Ribbon Blender

Ribbon Blender comprises of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a specially designed Double Helical Ribbon Agitator rotating within. Ribbon Blenders are based on a proven agitator construction that provides a triple mixing action ensuring fast, efficient blending. The dimensions and configuration of the ribbons are carefully balanced to provide a movement of material within the container that avoids dead spots and gives rapid product discharge.

An alternate design is the paddle agitator. The paddles are positioned to move the material in opposing lateral directions as well as radially. The paddle design is generally employed where friable materials are being blended, and when batches as small as 15% of the total capacity are going to be mixed in the blender.

Used For

Pharmaceuticals
Food products
Chemicals
Cosmetic products
Design Highlights

The outer ribbon displaces the material from the ends to the center while the inner ribbon moves the material from the center to the ends. This counter-current action results in homogenous blending
The ribbons rotate at approximately 70 - 100 meters per minute and move the material both radially and laterally to ensure thorough blends in short cycle times
Triple Mixing Action - The Key to Fast, Efficient Blending
As the agitator rotates, the material is tumbled and carried radially around the inside of the blender
The pitch of the outer ribbon moves the material toward the discharge opening
The inner ribbon which has an opposing pitch moves the material away from the discharge opening

OPERATION The "V" BLENDER is an efficient and versatile blending machine for mixing and lubrication process of dry powders homogeneously. Approximate two third of the volume of the Blender is filled to ensure proper mixing. The "V" Blender gives best result for powders due to suitable medium speed and "V" shape of container. It can be used for Pharmaceutical, Food, Chemical and Cosmetic products etc…… In "V" Blender the powders comes from all sides due to the "V" shape of the product container, hence requirement of RPM is medium. Suitable mainly for powder & granules type material. This type of material gets sufficient continuous movement. Due to the "V" shape of container, have only medium movement and will results in good quality of blending/lubrication of granules SPECIAL FEATURES Suitable for dry mixing of products in powder form. Easy for loading and unloading. Easy for cleaning. All contact parts are made out of SS304 / SS316 or SS316 L quality material, as per customer requirement. Simple design requires minimum maintenance. General structure & safety guards made out of mild steel & painted in Standard Model and made out of SS304 & polished to the matt finish in GMP Model. The "V" shape gives sufficient contineous movement to the granules, result in good quality. Maximum care has been taken to ensure safe operation of the unit. Manual rotating facility with hand wheel for inching. OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE Vacuum Loading facility for material charging. Flame proof drive motor along with flame proof starter. Contact parts made out of SS316 or SS316 L instead of SS304.

Description

• Conta Blending system has replaced completely the conventional blenders like 'V' shape / Double cone or Ribbon type.
• It is a latest cGMP concept with an emphasis on the dust free transfer of powders and granules at different stages from sizing / dispensing to compression / filing of Tablets or Capsules.
• The process involves collecting the sized granules in a Container, wheeling it to the Blender, engage the same with clamping system, lift and tumble for the prevalidated time in set number of rotations.
• Tapasya developed CONTA based on Pharma industries feedback on its Cage Blender which still is a market leader in this segment.
• Conta Blender has a flexibility of Batch Volume.
• Varying size of containers can be mounted on a drive console which is equipped which clamping cage.
• Batch size variation achievable in 500 Kg.
• Model for example, is from 75 Kg. to 500 Kg. using two different sizes of containers.
• The mixing efficiency is better than the other type of tumbling blenders like Double Cone, V or Octa as they rotate in a diagonal and in a eccentric plane.
• It shuffles the product intimately resulting in homogeneous blend within 5-20 min.

Salient Features

• 0 stopping for easy docking and undocking of the bin.
• A suitable fencing around the cage with an entry point for the bin on detachable trolley.
• Limit switch on entry door to prevent the accidental operation of the cage.
• Flexibility of accepting variable bin sizes providing wide range of batch volumes.
• cGMP construction with cladded polished S. S. sheets.
• The charging hole with cover is provided on top with quick opening and closing arrangement with dust proof joints for particle free transfer.
• Built-in Butterfly valve (150 mm dia) at the bottom suitable for discharge.
• Suitable leak proof vent on top.
• Capacity available 2 to 1000 Kgs.

Advantages
