Material Handling & Mixing

Blenders (Conical & Ribbon Type)

Industrial blenders are used for homogeneous mixing of powders, granules, pastes, and low-viscosity materials in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, agrochemical, and dyestuff industries.

A. Conical Blender (Nauta / Double-cone Type)

A Conical Blender is a gentle, low-shear mixer with a rotating screw inside a stationary cone. The screw lifts product upward while the cone shape promotes natural gravity mixing.
✔ Ideal for heat-sensitive & fragile materials
✔ Excellent mixing efficiency with low power consumption
✔ Very high discharge efficiency due to conical shape
✔ Suitable for GMP applications

B. Ribbon Blender

A Ribbon Blender uses a horizontal U-shaped trough with inner & outer helicoid ribbons rotating to achieve rapid, intensive mixing.
✔ Fast blending of powders & granules
✔ Uniform mixing in short cycle times
✔ Suitable for bulk materials & continuous production
✔ Easy to operate and cost-effective
