Product Details
PerMix PRB series Ribbon Mixer is an efficient and versatile blending machine for mixing of dry powders, granules and viscous pastes homogeneously. It is able to give a satisfying "homogeneity grade" for mixing jobs due to the special design of a mixing agitator with dual ribbons inside of a U-shaped working trough. PerMix designs our PRB Ribbon Blenders which are able to achieve a maximum "mixing ratio" of 1:500,000, which means you can get the desired mixture proportion of components in as small as 1 gram with a batch of 500kg.
PerMix Ribbon Mixers can be supplied for either batch processing duties, or continuous work. Continuous Ribbon Mixers are more cost-effective when a large capacity per hour is needed for the processing requirement. Continuous Ribbon Mixers differ from batch mixers in that the mass flow of the product is from the inlet port of the mixing vessel, to the discharge port at the opposite end. The residence time of the material is decided by the feeding rate and the weir height at the discharge port.
Material
Many metal materials are available to build the Ribbon Mixers including but not limited to: Stainless steel 304, Stainless steel 316L, Carbon steel (Mild steel), Duplex stainless steel, Hastelloy C276/C22, Titanium, Alloy 904L, etc

Features
Features and Options of PerMix PRB series Ribbon Mixers:
1. A full range of working capacity of the machine, from 30L pilot size to up to 20 cubic meters for large scale industrial uses.
2. High speed side chopper can be mounted to the Ribbon Mixers to remove lumps and agglomerates during the mixing process.
3. Jacket for heating and cooling
4. Big bomb bay door for fast and complete discharge
5. Liquid addition by spray balls, nozzles, or dripping pipes
6. Leading edges of the ribbons can be coated by Tungsten Carbide for very abrasive materials.
7. PerMix has designed a special feature for food application (salad mixing) with motorized tilting for discharge. The machine is built in full stainless steel for easy cleaning, and a top lid with counterweight for manual opening.
We offer different types of mixing ribbon for different applications. Standard ribbon is used to provide general blending purpose, with center discharge; Interrupted ribbon is applied for viscous material; Continuous ribbon is used for continuous operation with one side feeding and the other side discharging.
PerMix Ribbon Mixers can come with a welded jacket around the mixing vessel for heating/cooling by steam, thermal oil, or water. We supply different types of jacket, such as shell in shell, dimple plate, and half-pipe coil. For heating jacket, insulation layer should be supplied to protect the people from being burnt, with riveted or welded wrapper. ASME/PED certified pressurized jackets are available with full set of documentation.
A variety of feeding & discharging methods of PerMix Ribbon Mixers can be selected by the customers. For feeding of materials, bag dump station can be mounted on the top of the U-shaped trough. Safety grid can be installed to prevent the possible injury to the worker. For discharge of the products, manual, pneumatic, or motorized operated valves can be selected according to the customers' preference. They are prepared to fit into any existing production line easily.
The installation of PerMix Side Entry Multi-chopper in the basic PRB Ribbon Mixers enables the breaking down of agglomerates during the mixing process. Together with the mixing element, the PerMix Multi-chopper removes lumps in the initial product, chops pasty adhesives and hinders the formation of agglomeration during the moisturizing of powdered substances. The PerMix Multi-chopper is operated independently by its own motor, running at high speed of 1,500rpm (sometimes 3,000rpm).
With some special modification, the PerMix PRB series Ribbon Mixers can be used as a multi-stage process vessel, eliminating the need for additional specialist equipment. For example, it can be converted to be a vacuum mixer-dryer by adding heating jacket, shaft mechanical seal, vacuum tight semi-ball valve, industrial filtering housing, and/or other equipment such as condenser, nitrogen feeding, etc.

Working Principle
PerMix PRB Ribbon Mixer consists of one electrical motor, one gearbox, and a shaft with double ribbons located in a U-shaped vessel. The external & inner ribbons are designed in such a way that the powder materials are pushed to move from center to the two ends of vessel, and meanwhile from ends to the center; besides, the powder materials are lifted up along the ribbon edges but then drop due to gravity. In such a three-dimensional way, the total powder can be mixed fast in the vessel. It asks for a short mixing time and relatively low power consumption.
The shaft is sealed with stuffing box with multiple PTFE packings (sometimes with a lantern ring for air purge) at both ends. Materials are loaded from top side, and a flush fitting discharge valve is located at the bottom side in the center. The discharge height can be adjusted as per requirement, so that material gets discharged into the container below it without floating dust.
Process
PerMix standard Ribbon Mixers has the mixing shaft built by a pipe with its two ends to be connected by a flange to the solid shaft end. Outer and inner mixing ribbons are laser-cut, twisted and welded to the arms which are through the mixing shaft and welded. The solid shaft ends, together with the flange faces of them and the pipe, are all machined for a tight tolerance to keep a minimum run-out at the bearings/shaft sealing. Clearance between the outer ribbon blades to the trough wall is minimized to a few millimeters (depending on the machine size) in order to reduce the residues as little as possible. All internal welds and other contact surfaces are ground and polished according to the customer's requirement, from 80 grit up to mirror polish of 320 grit. External surfaces of the Ribbon Mixers can be uniformly polished or bead blasted for stainless steel, or primed / painted for Carbon steel.
