Stainless Steel Ribbon Mixer for Yogurt Powder is designed for industrial yogurt powder production lines where hygiene, uniform mixing, low residue, and gentle handling are critical. Yogurt powder is hygroscopic, heat-sensitive, and often contains probiotics, flavorings, and liquid additives. This ribbon mixer uses food-grade 304 or 316L stainless steel, a low-shear double ribbon structure, and optional CIP cleaning to reduce caking, oxidation, and cross-contamination. It supports 24/7 operation and can be customized by capacity, material bulk density, moisture content, and mixing speed.
The Stainless Steel Ribbon Mixer for Yogurt Powder utilizes a core working principle of double-layered, counter-rotating spiral ribbons. A motor drives the main shaft via a reducer, causing the inner and outer spiral ribbons within the drum to move synchronously. The outer ribbon gathers the yogurt powder from both sides of the drum towards the center, while the inner ribbon pushes the material from the center outwards, creating a three-dimensional convection vortex. This allows the material to rapidly tumble, shear, and mix within the drum. The entire process is gentle and thorough, effectively preventing material clumping while maintaining the fineness of the yogurt powder. Uniform mixing is achieved without additional manual intervention.Because yogurt powder is hygroscopic and heat-sensitive, this low-shear, low-temperature-rise mixing action helps prevent caking and protects the viability of probiotic and heat-sensitive ingredients.
The Stainless Steel Ribbon Mixer for Yogurt Powder boasts outstanding hygiene, uniform mixing, stable operation, and minimal material residue. It can handle various types of additives, is simple to operate, and reliable, effectively improving yogurt powder quality and production efficiency.
Stainless Steel Material: Made of food-grade 304 or 316L stainless steel. Contact parts can be mirror-polished to Ra ≤ 0.8 μm for better cleaning and less powder adhesion.
High Mixing Efficiency: In customer validation batches, mixing time was reduced by more than 30% compared with the previous traditional mixer under the same batch
No Dead Zones: The ribbon fits closely to the U-shaped cylinder. In the Singapore yogurt powder project, material residue was reduced to below 0.5%.
Easy Operation: Supports one-button start/stop and variable frequency speed control.
High Adaptability: Customizable for different bulk density, moisture content, probiotic content, and liquid additive ratios.
The Stainless Steel Ribbon Mixer for Yogurt Powder consists of six core parts: the machine body, U-shaped cylinder, ribbon mixing assembly, transmission system, inlet, outlet, and control system. The U-shaped elongated cylinder ensures minimal resistance during material movement, reducing material residue. The ribbon mixing assembly features a double-layer staggered design, made of wear-resistant stainless steel, making it resistant to deformation and wear. The transmission system uses a cycloidal reducer with direct drive, providing high torque and smooth operation, effectively extending the equipment's service life. The feed inlet is flush with the ground for easy and convenient feeding, while the discharge outlet uses a pneumatically operated large-opening structure for rapid and residue-free discharge. The control system is simple to operate and allows for real-time monitoring of the equipment's operating status.For yogurt powder production, the cylinder can be designed with rounded corners, mirror-polished inner walls, food-grade seals, and optional CIP spray balls to meet dairy hygiene requirements.

The Stainless Steel Ribbon Mixer for Yogurt Powder has wide adaptability, compatible with various forms of materials for uniform mixing. It can handle various food-grade powders and granular raw materials, and can also be mixed simultaneously with liquid additives to meet the multi-component formulation needs of yogurt powder. The equipment's gentle mixing does not damage the material's properties, enabling high-speed solid-solid and solid-liquid mixing.
For yogurt powder formulas, typical ingredients include yogurt base powder, skim milk powder, whole milk powder, whey powder, maltodextrin, granulated sugar, dietary fiber, probiotics, flavorings, and emulsifier solutions. When probiotics or heat-sensitive ingredients are included, low-speed and short-time mixing is recommended to protect activity.
Powdered Materials: Whether it's main raw materials like yogurt powder base, skim milk powder, or whole milk powder, or auxiliary powders like whey powder and maltodextrin, all can be uniformly mixed using this equipment. Its low-shear design protects the original properties of the powdered materials, preventing clumping or nutrient loss due to excessive stirring.
Granular Materials: Perfectly compatible with commonly used granular additives in yogurt powder production. Examples include granulated probiotics, granulated sugar, and dietary fiber granules. The equipment can flexibly adjust the stirring speed according to differences in particle size and density.
Liquid Materials: Suitable for adding and mixing various liquid additives. For example, flavorings, emulsifier solutions, and nutrient solutions required in yogurt powder production can be evenly sprayed into the drum through the equipment's spray system. Under the rapid stirring of the spiral ribbon, they are fully integrated with dry powders and granular materials, achieving solid-liquid mixing.
The Stainless Steel Ribbon Mixer for Yogurt Powder emphasizes meticulous design in every detail. The entire machine is constructed from food-grade stainless steel, meeting dairy hygiene standards. The ribbon precisely adheres to the cylinder, leaving no residue. The transmission system is stable and noise-reducing, making feeding and discharging convenient and labor-saving. The control system is simple and easy to operate, and non-standard customization is available to meet specific needs, balancing practicality and adaptability.
All product-contact parts are made of 316L stainless steel, while non-contact parts use 304 stainless steel. Seals are food-grade and suitable for dairy production. Optional CIP spray balls and quick-detachable ribbon spindle help reduce cleaning downtime between batches.
Drive Unit: Features high torque, high reliability, and low noise. For larger equipment, a combination of gear reducer and belt drive is used to protect transmission components in case of accidents.
Flexible Detachable Ribbon Spindle: The ribbon spindle connects to the drive shaft flange, facilitating quick disassembly for maintenance or shaft replacement. Inlet: Can be designed as fully open, semi-open, or fully sealed. The fully open design is suitable for applications requiring high cleanliness and is supported by a gas spring for convenient and safe operation.
Drain Valve: Typically a pneumatic tilting valve. The arc-shaped valve is tightly embedded in the cylinder, flush with the inner wall, preventing material accumulation and mixing dead zones.
Heating/Cooling Jacket: Various types of jackets can be installed on the mixer's outer shell. Cold or hot media are injected into the jacket to cool or heat the material.
A large Singaporean dairy company producing yogurt powder introduced Dahan’s stainless steel ribbon mixer. Their original equipment had uneven probiotic and flavor distribution, high residue, and long cleaning downtime. The formula included yogurt base powder, skim milk powder, whey powder, maltodextrin, sugar, probiotics, and liquid flavoring, with a bulk density of about 450 kg/m³ and moisture content of 3–5%.
Dahan recommended the LHY-2 ribbon mixer with 316L contact parts, variable frequency drive, pneumatic discharge, optional CIP, and a heating/cooling jacket.
Production flow: raw material screening → powder/granular feeding → liquid additive spraying → ribbon mixing → discharge → drying → packaging.
For their 2-ton-per-hour line, the mixer achieved 99.9% mixing uniformity, residue below 0.3%, mixing time reduced from 15 min to 8–10 min, and cleaning time reduced by about 50%.
Performance data based on industry standards and laboratory testing. Actual results may vary with material batch and line conditions.
