A ribbon mixer is an advanced blending machine designed to efficiently mix powders, granules, and light pastes into a homogeneous blend. Its specialized design and operational efficiency make it a staple in industries such as food production, pharmaceuticals, chemical processing, and construction materials.
At the core of a ribbon mixer is a horizontal or vertical mixing trough equipped with helical ribbons mounted on a central shaft. These ribbons are strategically engineered to move materials in opposite directions, ensuring thorough and efficient blending.
✔ Counterflow Motion – The outer ribbon moves material in one direction, while the inner ribbon moves it in the opposite direction, creating a balanced and efficient mixing cycle.
✔ Continuous Folding & Lifting – This movement constantly agitates and folds the ingredients, achieving a fully uniform mix without segregation.
✔ No Dead Zones – The continuous motion of the ribbons ensures that all material moves through the trough, eliminating stagnant areas.
✔ Optimized Mixing Speed – Engineered for fast and uniform blending of both dry and slightly moist materials.
✔ Handles a Wide Range of Materials – Ideal for powder blending, granule mixing, and minor liquid incorporations.
✔ Prevents Segregation – The unique ribbon design ensures materials with different particle sizes or densities blend seamlessly.

PerMix PRB Ribbon blender consists of one electrical motor, one gearbox, and a shaft with double ribbons in a U-shaped vessel.
The external & inner ribbons are designed in such a way that the powder materials are pushed to move from the center to the two ends of the vessel, and meanwhile from the ends to the center; besides, the powder materials are lifted up along the ribbon edges but then drop due to gravity.
In such a three-dimensional way, the total powder can be mixed fast in the vessel. It asks for a short mixing time and relatively low power consumption.
Selecting the best ribbon mixer for your production process requires understanding the key differences between vertical ribbon mixers and horizontal ribbon mixers. Both designs excel in blending powders, granules, and light pastes, but each offers unique advantages based on your specific mixing requirements.

Built to Last: Why PerMix Mixers Stand Above the Competition
At PerMix, we believe that strength starts with structure. Our industrial mixers are engineered with thicker stainless steel—not just for durability, but to handle the torque transfer from the motor and gearbox more efficiently.
Many competitors cut costs by using thinner metal and rely on bending to add strength. While this may work in the short term, it creates weak points that are more prone to stress fatigue, cracking, and long-term failure. At PerMix, we do it differently.
✅ Thicker metal = true structural integrity
✅ Better torque transfer = longer-lasting performance
✅ No reliance on bends = reduced stress points & improved durability
✅ Built for heavy-duty mixing = more power, less maintenance
We don’t take shortcuts when it comes to quality. PerMix mixers are engineered to outlast and outperform. When investing in industrial mixing, don’t settle for less—choose strength, choose durability, choose PerMix.
