Recommended Blending Equipment For Trail Mixes

Ross Ribbon Blenders are dry mixing equipment widely used in the preparation of various kinds of trail mixes. Ingredients are loaded into the U-shaped trough and mixed by a horizontal solid-shaft 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, promoting fast and thorough mixing despite differences in particle shape, size and density.

Maximum tip speeds are in the neighborhood of 300 ft/min but with variable speed control, the blending action can be fine-tuned according to the characteristics of a particular recipe. The advantage of electronic speed control is significant especially for plants that batch-blend not only trail mixes but a range of other food products as well. The multi-purpose Ross Ribbon Blender featuring a variable frequency drive can easily mix spices, powdered beverages, sweeteners, flavorings, baking pre-mixes and many other recipes.
