YINDA YDLH RIBBON MIXER

An article to help you know more about YINDA YDLH RIBBON MIXER

Ribbon mixers are an essential equipment in the manufacturing industry. They are used to mix materials together thoroughly and uniformly, producing a homogeneous mixture that is essential for the production of a wide range of products. Ribbon mixers are used in many industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, and cosmetics. In this article, we will explore what the YINDA YDLH series ribbon mixers are, how they work, and their applications.

What is a YINDA YDLH Ribbon Mixer?

The basic configuration about YINDA YDLH series ribbon mixer including the U shaped trough, the helical ribbon, the dust-proof bearing, the discharging port, the frame, and the electronic control box.

YINDA YDLH series ribbon mixer is a horizontal mixing machine with a U-shaped trough and a double helical ribbon agitator. The ribbon agitator consists of two counter-rotating helical blades that are mounted on a central shaft. The ribbon agitator rotates at a relatively low speed, and it moves the material in two directions: radially and axially.

The U-shaped trough of YINDA YDLH series ribbon mixer is designed to hold the material to be mixed. It is usually made of stainless steel 304, 316L or other durable materials (carbon steel), and it is supported by a sturdy frame. The ribbon agitator rotates inside the trough, lifting and moving the material in a gentle but effective way. This motion ensures that the materials are mixed thoroughly and uniformly.

Connecting with the U-shaped trough is an important part–dust-proof bearing.

The dust-proof bearing is an important component of a ribbon mixer, especially in industries where dust and other fine particles are present in the mixing environment. The bearing is designed to prevent the ingress of dust and other contaminants into the bearing housing, which can cause premature wear and failure of the bearing.

There are several types of dust-proof bearings that can be used in a ribbon mixer. One common type is the sealed bearing, YINDA YDLH series ribbon mixer adopts Tetrafluoro Seal and metal shield that prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the bearing.

When selecting a dust-proof bearing for a ribbon mixer, it is important to consider the operating conditions of the mixer, such as the temperature, humidity, and the type of material being mixed. It is also important to choose a bearing that is easy to maintain and replace, as dust and other contaminants can still find their way into the bearing housing over time.

Regular maintenance of the dust-proof bearing is also essential to ensure its proper function and longevity. This may include cleaning the bearing housing, lubricating the bearing, and replacing the bearing or its seals when necessary.

How Does the YINDA YDLH series Ribbon Mixer Work?

YINDA YDLH series Ribbon mixers work by combining a number of different materials together to create a homogeneous mixture that can be used to mix a wide range of materials. They are particularly useful for mixing dry powders and granular materials, but they can also be used to mix wet materials, especially fits food additive, beverage, chemicals, seasonings, cosmetics, plastic, etc.

The ribbon agitator moves the materials around the U-shaped trough in a gentle but effective way, ensuring that all the materials are evenly mixed. Radial motion occurs when the ribbon agitator moves the materials from the center of the trough to the sides. Axial motion occurs when the ribbon agitator moves the materials from one end of the trough to the other. The combination of these two motions ensures that all the materials are thoroughly mixed.

The RPM of the YINDA YDLH series ribbon mixer is adjustable according to different target capacities. The bigger capacity the slower RPM. Because considering the machine stable, if big capacity adopts high rotation speed will lead to uneven mixing and shaking of the equipment, which causes safety problems and reduces the efficiency of mixing. So we pre-set the suitable RPM (42-53) for different volumes ribbon mixer to help you achieve the desired mixing performance.

Pneumatic valves are widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, power generation, and oil and gas. Here are some advantages of pneumatic valves:

Fast Response Time: Pneumatic valves are very responsive, which means they can quickly open and close in milliseconds. This is essential in applications that require precise control and quick reaction times.
Durability: Pneumatic valves are made of sturdy materials such as steel, aluminum, and brass, which makes them highly durable and long-lasting. They are also resistant to wear and tear, making them suitable for use in harsh environments.
High Flow Capacity: Pneumatic valves have a high flow capacity, which means they can handle large volumes of materials. This makes them ideal for use in applications that require high flow rates.
Simple Design: Pneumatic valves have a simple design that makes them easy to install and maintain. They have few moving parts, which means they are less likely to break down or malfunction.
Cost-Effective: Pneumatic valves are relatively inexpensive compared to butterfly valves. They also require less maintenance, which can save companies money in the long run.
Safe Operation: Pneumatic valves are designed to operate in a safe and controlled manner. They are less likely to leak or cause a fire or explosion, making them a safer option for many industries.

Butterfly valves are also commonly used in various industries due to their unique design and advantages. Here are some advantages of butterfly valves:

Versatility: Butterfly valves can be used in a wide range of applications, from low-pressure to high-pressure systems. They can handle different types of fluids, including powder, gases, liquids, and slurries.
Cost-Effective: Butterfly valves are generally less expensive than other types of valves, such as ball valves, pneumatic valves. They also require less maintenance, which makes them a cost-effective option in the long run.
Lightweight and Compact: Butterfly valves are lightweight and compact, which makes them easy to install and operate. They also take up less space, which is particularly important in applications where space is limited.
Quick Operation: Butterfly valves can be quickly opened or closed, which makes them ideal for applications that require fast response times. They also have a low torque requirement, which means they can be operated manually or with a smaller actuator.
Low Pressure Drop: Butterfly valves have a low-pressure drop, which means there is less resistance to the flow of fluid or gas. This can help reduce energy costs and improve system efficiency.
Minimal Leakage: Butterfly valves have a tight seal, which reduces the risk of leakage and contamination. This makes them suitable for applications where cleanliness is essential, such as in the food and beverage industry.

Cover method

The cover of the ribbon mixer is an effective way to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of the mixing process. So we have four methods for you to help achieve your different requests.

The height between the discharge port and the floor

The height between the discharge port and the floor of the ribbon mixer will depend on the specific design of the mixer and its intended use. In general, the discharge port of a ribbon mixer is typically located at a height (50-60cm) that allows for easy and efficient discharge of the mixed materials into a container or conveyor system.

The height may vary depending on the size of the mixer and the volume of material being mixed. For smaller mixers, the discharge port may be closer to the floor, while larger mixers may have higher discharge ports to accommodate larger containers or conveyor systems, so we also can customized the height between 90-100cm.

At all, it is important to ensure that the discharge port is positioned at a height that allows for easy access and operation, while also providing sufficient clearance for the mixed materials to flow out of the mixer. The specific height should be determined based on the specific requirements of the mixer and the materials being mixed.
