What is the difference between V blender and ribbon blender? | YUANYANG Guide
# What Is the Difference Between a V Blender and a Ribbon Blender?
Industrial mixers like V blenders and ribbon blenders serve distinct purposes in powder and bulk solids blending. Understanding their differences ensures optimal equipment selection for efficiency, consistency, and cost-effectiveness.
Design & Mechanism
- V Blender:
- Features two cylindrical shells welded at a 75°–90° angle, forming a V shape.
- Uses tumbling action for gentle, homogeneous blending.
- Ideal for fragile or free-flowing powders.
- Ribbon Blender:
- Consists of a horizontal U-shaped trough with inner and outer helical ribbons.
- Provides high-shear mixing via mechanical agitation.
- Best for cohesive or dense materials requiring thorough dispersion.
Applications
- V Blender:
- Pharmaceuticals, food powders, and dry chemicals.
- Low-energy blending with minimal product degradation.
- Ribbon Blender:
- Plastics, construction materials, and wet pastes.
- Handles viscous or abrasive mixtures efficiently.
Efficiency & Capacity
- V Blender:
- Faster blending for small to medium batches (5–1,000 liters).
- Minimal dead zones but limited scalability.
- Ribbon Blender:
- Suitable for large-scale production (up to 50,000 liters).
- Longer mixing times but better for continuous processes.
Maintenance & Cost
- V Blender:
- Lower maintenance (fewer moving parts).
- Higher initial cost due to precision engineering.
- Ribbon Blender:
- More wear-prone (ribbons, seals).
- Cost-effective for heavy-duty applications.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Opt for a V blender if blending delicate, uniform powders.
- Choose a ribbon blender for heavy, viscous, or large-volume mixing.

Vertical Filling Machine
Can it fill the paste like dough?
No, the dough is too viscous and can’t flow down. The materials must be easy to flow down for this vertical filling machine. And for too viscous paste, pressure filling machine or heating mixing filling machine will be recommended based on materials.
High shear homogneizer
How does the rotor and stator work?
When the equipment is running, the rotor drives the blade to rotate at a high speed, generating a strong centrifugal force field, and forming a negative pressure zone in the center of the rotor, which inhales the material liquid. Under the action of centrifugal force, the material spreads from the center to the four sides, and is subjected to the stirring and shearing action of the blades during the diffusion process. The material is subjected to further shearing action in the narrow gap between the end face of the blade and the inner side of the stator tooth ring, and then enters the narrow gap between the rotating tooth and the fixed tooth of the inner ring, and is affected by mechanical force and hydrodynamics effect, resulting in shearing, friction and impact, so that dispersed phase particles or droplets are broken. As the linear speed of the tooth is gradually increased from the inner ring to the outer ring, the crushing environment of the material is continuously improved, and the purpose of homogenizing emulsification is finally achieved.
