An option for friable/fragile products

By combining an outer paddle arrangement with an inner ribbon, American Process Systems® has developed a perfect solution for non-powdered type of applications. The unique paddle-ribbon blender with its triple-action agitator insures efficient, homogeneous blending of even the most difficult blending applications.

The combination agitator

The outer paddles in place of the ribbon, minimizes pinch points along the tank wall. Instead of mounding the product in the center of the vessel, the inner ribbon moves the product toward the ends much like it does in a conventional ribbon blender. The paddles gently scoop the product and moves it back towards the center discharge. Less frictional heat is introduced into the product than would be with an outer ribbon. The paddle- ribbon blender provides less shear than our industry renown ribbon blender agitator. The paddle-ribbon blender agitator is the perfect choice for applications including pastes, friable particulates. 

Application expertise along with engineering and manufacturing flexibility allows us to truly offer tailored mixing solutions for a great many mixing and blending applications.
