Our strength is that all our Industrial Mixers and Blenders are designed and engineered to work with the customer’s individual requirements, product specifications and process conditions. We engage in extensive consultation with the customer throughout the design and manufacturing stages to ensure that all relevant criteria are taken into account, resulting in the correct choice and configuration of industrial mixer and the ideal process solution.
The key ingredient in the equipment we produce is our clients’ input. Every unit we produce is custom tailored to their specifications. As a result the equipment they receive is purpose built to their requirements. This philosophy accomplishes their goal in the most efficient manner possible, saving valuable resources and expediting processes.

Ribbon Blenders

Ribbon blenders operate on the two principle of mixing: convection and diffusion. Convective mixing is the macro movement of large portions of the solids. Convection mixing occurs when the solids are turned over along the horizontal axis of the agitator assembly.
The other type of ribbon mixing is diffusion mixing which is the micro mixing that occurs when individual particles are moved relative to the surrounding particles. In the ribbon blender diffusion occurs when the particles in front of the ribbon are moved in one direction while nearby partials are not moved or lag behind. Together, these two types of action result in the mixing and blending of solids.
For special mixing applications such as powdered metals or friable materials, consider our Rotary Cone Blenders or AlEq Fluidized Mixers.
For viscous or heavy paste mixing we offer Double-Arm Mixers & Extruder.
Alesol Equipment is the leading supplier of Ribbon Blenders for dry powder blending in the process industries. Many products including pharmaceuticals, foods, chemicals, fertilizers, plastics, pigments, and cosmetics are manufactured in Ross Ribbon and Paddle Blenders.
Powder blenders from Alesol include Ribbon & Paddle designs and range in capacity from 1/2 cu ft. laboratory models to 1000 cu. ft. production units. A wide variety of horsepower and speed combinations satisfy the most demanding blending applications. Optional features such as sanitary designs, vacuum construction, special valves and cover openings can be provided to fine tune the machine to your process.
Laboratory testing is available to qualify your application, and to insure the selection of the best Alesol mixer for your requirement. Based on data supplied by our clients or gathered during tests in our Customer Service Laboratory, our engineers assist in selection the most efficient machine for its intended use. The world's largest blender inventory is available for fast shipment. Alesol Blenders are also available for purchase or trial rental.

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 homogeneous 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
