Stainless Steel Food Powder Mixer - High-Efficiency Ribbon Blender Equipment

The Stainless Steel Food Powder Mixer is a sophisticated and versatile ribbon blender designed for optimal material mixing. Featuring a U-shaped design with unique double-ribbon structure, it delivers rapid and uniform mixing of materials, meeting diverse powder and granule mixing requirements across food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and related industries.

Design Excellence

• U-Shaped Mixing Chamber:
  The specially designed U-shaped trough provides optimal material flow patterns, ensuring complete mixing even for materials with different densities and particle sizes. The curved bottom eliminates dead zones and promotes thorough blending.

• Double Ribbon Agitator System:
  Features both outer ribbon (moving materials from ends to center) and inner ribbon (moving materials from center to ends), creating a counter-flow mixing pattern that achieves 95% uniformity in just 3-8 minutes.

• Food-Grade Construction:
  Constructed entirely from 304/316 stainless steel with mirror-polished interior surfaces, meeting FDA, cGMP, and HACCP standards for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications.
