About Robin and Cone Blender
Ribbon And Cone Blender
The Ribbon and cone Blender is a tumble blender intended for laboratory applications. Consist of two S.S cone welded with the cylindrical shell and having charging and discharging at opposite ends. As the cone shaped blender shell rotates, the tumbling action splits the powder or liquid bed and then combines it, bringing about the mixing of the ingredients. The result is a consistent, uniform, predictable blend.
Operations of Ribbon and Cone Blender :
The complete assembly is mounted on a MS/ SS structure The material is moved from side of the trough to the center and vice versa resulting in quick & homogeneous mixing Double ribbon configuration also brings material towards central bottom outlet while discharging A specially designed valve is provided at the center or butterfly valve for discharge Blending is achieved in semi-fluidized state in the upper zone of the trough when used for fine powders Machine can be provided with spray nozzles with pressure spraying system for spraying additives in blenders Ribbon blender can also be used as dryer by providing jacket on the trough.
Efficient Powder HomogenizationDesigned for uniform and gentle mixing, the Robin and Cone Blender operates at 812 RPM, making it ideal for powder homogenization in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing applications. The mirror/matte inner surface finish enhances blending efficiency and cleaning ease, ensuring product integrity and compliance with GMP standards.
User Safety and Operational ControlSafety is prioritized through integrated safety guards, emergency stop features, and a reliable control panel offering on/off and timer functionality. Operators benefit from secure mixing conditions, clear operational monitoring, and immediate response capabilities for incident prevention and control.
