Ribbon Blenders

Our Products

Ribbon Blenders

Rapid, smooth blending for even the most challenging mixing applications.

ribbon blender vertical
wave graphic white

Our double-start helical ribbon blender allows thorough mixing of extremely viscous products and is best at blending viscosities greater than 50,000 cps.

Applications for Ribbon Blenders Applications for High Shear Mixers

This mixer is a proven workhorse in many industries and can effectively mix toothpaste, cosmetics, adhesives, polymers, and other viscous products within minutes.

Ribbon Blender Advantages

Consisting of inner and outer helical blades called ribbons, this durable industrial mixer uses counter-directional flow while keeping the product in constant motion throughout the vessel. Combined with hinged scrapers, our ribbon blenders are great for helping to clean the side wall of the vessel when emptying sticky, viscous products.

Customisation & Fitting Options

Our ribbon blenders are highly customisable and can be further enhanced to suit your specific needs, mixing duty, and vessel size and shape. A range of fittings and accessories can be added to produce your ideal ribbon blender.

Materials

  • 316, 316L. Exotic Stainless Steel at customer’s request

Entry

  • Can be fitted in the vessel along with a Transkem bottom entry emulsifier/homogeniser or in some cases, where the helical ribbon mixer is small, a top entry homogeniser/emulsifier

Design Features

  • Double start helical ribbon type, but can also be supplied with a single scroll only
  • The wet end can be completed, or can be supplied in parts to be assembled within the vessel

Fittings/Accessories

  • Can be fitted with or without footsteady in-tank bearings
  • Can be fitted with the customer’s preferred seal and drive, with double or single mechanical seals
  • Can be fitted with ATEX drives

Thick, sticky products are no match for Transkem’s line of Contra Rotating Mixers. Essentially two mixers joined together, the contra rotation is designed to simultaneously mix product while scraping the sides of the vessel.

Applications for Contra Rotating Mixers

These highly versatile mixers are ideal for face creams, hair gels, shampoos, lubrication greases, and many other products with high viscosities.

Contra Rotating Mixer Advantages and Versatility

By combining and utilizing the benefits of a centrally mounted turbine drive with an anchor/scraper drive, our contra rotating units are extremely useful in applications that require different processing duties and products in which viscosities increase throughout processing.

Built to suit any tank geometry and highly customisable, the unit can be fully split for easy in-tank assembly and removal, or it can be completed and installed into the tank prior to vessel completion.

Customisation & Fitting Options

Each of our mixers is designed to meet specific customer requirements, including the mixing duty, vessel geometry, and most importantly—your budget.­ We can construct your unit with a variety of customisations and fittings for your ideal system:

Materials

  • 316, 316L. Exotic Stainless Steel at customer’s request

Entry

  • Top entry

Fittings/Accessories

  • Can be built to suit ATEX requirements for explosive and flammable conditions
  • Anchor or turbine parts can be run separately when the process allows saving power

Geared Motor Units and Seals

  • Can be fitted with the customer’s preferred gearbox, motor, and seal upon request

Supporting leading brands with industrial paint and coatings mixers.

wave graphic white

Our line of emulsifiers and homogenisers are industrial high shear mixers that generate hundreds of thousands of shearing actions each minute to quickly and effectively manufacture creams and emulsions.

Applications for High Shear Mixers

Our emulsifiers & homogenisers are ideal for applications that involve ingredients that resist straightforward blending, like mayonnaise, face creams, children’s pain relief suspension, sunscreen, and more. Our line is also able to disintegrate solids or powders into slurry.

Advantages of High Shear Mixers

Using a high speed rotor and close tolerance stator, these mixers tear apart and disintegrate particles quickly. They are also highly versatile and can be fitted with interchangeable stators to suit a wide range of mixing duties and processing requirements.

Customisation & Fitting Options

Our line of Emulsifiers and Homogenisers is customisable and designed to meet your specific requirements for mixing duty, vessel geometry, and most importantly—budget. Your unit can be constructed with a variety of customisations and fittings.

Materials

  • 316, 316L Stainless Steel. Exotic Stainless Steel at customer’s request

Size

  • Available from 0.75 kW to 75 kW

Entry

Gate Mixers

Our Products

Gate Mixers

Ideally suited for sticky, highly viscous liquids, Transkem’s gate-type industrial fluid mixers can handle mixing products with viscosity up to 50,000+ cps.

placeholder image
wave graphic white

Our line of Gate Mixers can be customised to meet our customer’s requirements, specific mixing duties, vessel geometries, and budgets.

Applications for Gate Mixers

Gate Mixers are ideal for sticky, highly viscous liquids that are characteristic of the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Our tough, reliable, and economic mixers are well suited for creams, shampoos, flocculants, heavy syrups, and other tough applications.

Gate Mixer Advantages

Also known as anchor mixers, Gate Mixers contain large diameter impellers with a close tolerance to the vessel wall.  This helps to keep the sides of the vessel clear of product and aids in efficient heat transfer. To obtain adequate mixing, the impellers sweep the entire wall surface of the vessel, agitating most of the fluid batch through physical contact.

Customisation & Fitting Options

We can construct your unit with a variety of customisations and fittings for your ideal system, such as ptfe scrapers.

Materials

  • 316, 316L Stainless Steel. Exotic Stainless Steel at customer’s request

Entry

  • Top entry, or can be fitted on the horizontal plane for bottom entry

Fittings/Accessories

  • Can be fitted with hinged scrapers to clear the vessel sides of product

Design Features

  • Can be fully welded or bolt up design
