RIBBON PADDLE PLOW BLENDERS
The MUNSON® Ribbon, Paddle, and Plow Blenders feature stationary U-shaped vessels with flat cover sections on top and a discharge valve on the bottom, and a single, horizontally-oriented shaft rotating on external bearings, with radial arms supporting ribbon, paddle or plow agitator elements, each of which offers distinct benefits across a diverse range of application.
Mixing capacity is approximately 70 to 80% of total vessel volume, providing 1) ample space for material flow on the upswing side of the agitator, 2) complete agitator contact with batch materials, and 3) proper distancing of an optional spray manifold for introducing liquid additions on the downswing side of the agitator, resulting in uniform solids/liquids distribution.
MUNSON blenders are available and constructed of various materials, including carbon steel, #304/304L, #316/316L stainless steel, and abrasion-resistant steel (AR-200/235).
