Recommended Blending Equipment For Coffee Production

Ross Ribbon Blenders are standard equipment used in the production of roasted coffee blends, instant coffee and other beverages. Ingredients are loaded into the U-shaped trough and mixed by a horizontal agitator consisting of inner and outer helical ribbons. The position and precise pitch of each ribbon produce a well-balanced axial and radial flow pattern which promotes fast and thorough mixing of different green (unroasted) or roasted whole coffee beans or ground coffee granules. Flavoring oils may be sprayed onto the coffee blend as the ribbons continue to agitate the batch, turning at tip speeds up to 300 ft/min. With variable speed control, the blending action can be fine-tuned and optimized according to the characteristics of a particular recipe.
