Ribbon mixer

A custom-built ribbon mixer run efficiently, provide higher output and require less maintenance

Ribbon mixers design


Gimat ribbon blenders are made of painted thick carbon steel sheets or stainless steel AISI 304 or 316 with suitable surface treatments. Our specially designed four-way ribbon - four cross-flows for the homogeneous blending of dry powders, granules and pastes.

Our ribbon mixers range from 340 to 3500 litres (power ratings, depending on the application, from 3 kW to 30 kW).

Among the ribbon blender manufacturers, Gimat stands out for the efficient transmission by means of a bevel gearmotor; a torsional flexible coupling offers high output for smooth and quiet operations. Designed to ensure fast, efficient blending, our ribbon mixers are appreciated for the longevity of performance. We design and manufacture custom powder mixers to cost-effectively meet your application requirement.
