Horizontal Ribbon Mixer Powder Mixer
Horizontal Ribbon Mixer is a kind of Powder Mixer is a special mixer which is suitable to handle liquid with powder or high viscosity material such as putty, Lacquer, Textured Coating. It can also used for mixing material which is 100% powder no any liquid. POLYC have fixed type Horizontal Ribbon Mixer and overturning function ribbon mixer which is easy to clear and discharge material
PRM Horizontal Ribbon Mixer
Double-Spiral Convection Blending for Viscous & Cohesive Powders
The PRM ribbon mixer comprises a U-shape container, transmission parts and spiral belt agitating blades — usually double or triple layers, with the outside screw gathering material from the sides to the center and the inside screw transferring material from the center to the sides, forming a strong convection mix. It delivers reliable results for viscous or cohesive powders and for incorporating liquid and paste additives into powder. The cylinder cover opens fully for fast cleaning and batch changeover. Material of construction: carbon steel or stainless steel (SS304 / SS316L).
Core Technology & Working Principle
Working principle: during rotation, the outer ribbon pushes material from the wall toward the center while the inner ribbon returns it from the center to the wall. The counter-current flow drives continuous turnover and radial transfer, achieving homogeneous mixing across the full 0.5–15 m³ tank range. Explosion-proof configurations available upon request.

Technical FAQ
What powders can the PRM ribbon mixer handle?
It is designed for free-flowing to cohesive dry powders and for blending liquid or paste additives into powder. For ultra-high-viscosity masses above ~1,000,000 cps, our PMX vacuum planetary mixer is the better fit — the ribbon mixer is not intended for that range.
How long does one batch take?
Typical dry-powder blending completes in 3–8 minutes thanks to counter-current convection. Adding liquids or high filler loads extends the cycle; spray-bar dosing keeps it uniform.
Carbon steel or stainless steel — which to choose?
Use stainless steel (SS304 / SS316L) for food, pharmaceutical, pigment and corrosive duty; carbon steel is cost-effective for general building materials and non-reactive powders. Both are customizable.
How does the double-ribbon convection work?
The outer ribbon pushes material from the wall toward the center while the inner ribbon returns it from the center to the wall. This opposite-direction flow creates continuous turnover and radial transfer, eliminating dead zones.
Can I add liquid or essence during mixing?
Yes. Optional spray bars inject liquid uniformly. For duties needing up to 20% spray addition with intensive dispersion, the PYZL twin-shaft plough mixer is recommended.
What is the lead time and warranty?
Standard PRM models deliver in 30-45 days from confirmed drawings. Every unit carries a 3-year global warranty — double the common 1-year industry standard.
