Ribbon Agitators use opposing inner and outer helical flighting, which produces an end-to-end, side-to-side mixing action, sliding ingredients along the main shaft, separating and redistributing the materials behind the flighting.
Product levels in these machines must be high enough to reach the lower arc of the inner ribbon flighting in order to mix thoroughly. Ribbon mixers may be configured for either end or center discharge locations.
Agitators are furnished with single or double inner and outer flighting as required.
