The Stainless Steel Ribbon Mixer for Cat Food achieves mixing through double or triple ribbon mixing. Its core structure consists of a U-shaped container and forward and reverse rotating ribbon mixing blades. The outer ribbon gathers material from both sides to the center, while the inner ribbon transports it in the opposite direction to both sides, forming a three-dimensional convection circulation. The rotation of the ribbon generates shearing and diffusion effects, causing the material to continuously tumble and move axially within the cylinder, ensuring uniform mixing of powders, granules, or viscous materials.
