Our experts can help you choose the used ribbon blender that fits your production space and matches your needs based on several key factors:

  • Horsepower – Sufficient motor size and power makes your ribbon blender more efficient. The proper horsepower depends on the bulk density of the material to be mixed and the size of the batch. Given these factors, Phoenix Equipment’s service reps can calculate the agitator speed you need and introduce you to the used ribbon mixers whose motors can deliver the torque required to deliver it. As a general rule, ribbon blenders operate at around 20 RPMs and require about 10 hp per ton of material, but this will vary depending on options and customizations. Too little power increases mixing time and equipment wear and tear; Too much power increases energy use and operating costs.
  • Discharge – In most cases, the faster the mixed material can be removed from the mixer, the better. But not always, the processing capacity of downline components, the speed of the conveyor onto which the material will be unloaded, and other factors can help determine which discharge valve will work most effectively in your operation. Phoenix stocks used ribbon blenders with drop-bottom, butterfly, and slide gates, ball valves, rotary lobe pumps, and other discharge options that can be operated manually or pneumatically. Choosing a discharge mechanism that ensures full evacuation of material also aids in cleaning between batches, maximizing production time.
  • Options and Customizations – If your product requires additional shearing during mixing or involves products that are sensitive to shear, you could opt for double agitators, specialized shapes, or additional functionality such as chopping and de-agglomerating. For instance, paddle agitators make for a more gentle mixing of materials that are prone to breaking. Double-bladed agitators finish the job faster but require more horsepower. Many of the used ribbon blenders for sale at Phoenix Equipment come equipped with jacketed troughs to allow heat exchange (cooling using water or heating and drying with water, oil, or steam).
