Horizontal Ribbon Mixer
Thorough blending doesn’t have to waste power. Our horizontal mixers give you a precise match of horsepower-to-load requirements. We ensure the motor is accurately sized for energy efficiency by taking the time to analyze your product, process, and capacity needs. The same holds true for the rest of the machine as well. You get exactly the features you want!
We offer sizes from 0.25 cu. ft. to 1500 cu. ft.; in configurations from standard, to short, to long and trough designs from “U”, to cylindrical, to obround.
Size = Working Capacity
Example: Less than 5 cu. ft. is considered a lab mixer.
Why Buy Young Industries?
- Heavy Duty Design – Trough, Ends and Ribbon thickness are greater than our competitors.
- Mixer incorporates a 1/4” drop center design for tighter clearance and better cleanout.
- All gear reducers selected are designed to AGMA Class 2 gearing requirements. Which specifies a minimum 1.4 SF.
- Prior to shipping, the mixer is completely assembled and run tested.
- Mixers are shipped completely assembled unless customer requests that the drive be removed.

ASME Code Mixer
Our mixers can be directly scaled up based on testing results because of our agitator design. Several types of agitators are available; multi-pitch, standard double ribbon, paddle and trowel.
Mixer bodies are supplied with either slotted ends, removable ends, or fixed ends to meet customers requirement for agitator removal.
All mixers are custom designed to meet customer requirements. Agitator and drive calculations are performed to ensure trouble free operation for many years. High/low pressure and temperature designs are not a problem.
Important Information
Media & Case Studies
INTRO: 0.5 cu. ft. Mixer
This ½ cu. ft. Ribbon Mixer will be used for mixing lithium powders. It has a multi-pitch agitator for quick, gentle mixing of powders.
Laboratory Mixers
INTRO: Horizontal Blenders
The 300-cu. ft. blender has a heating jacket and is designed per ASME code standards.
Agitators
The agitator is the most important component of the mixer, and we offer several options:
- Double Ribbon Multi-Pitch
- Double Ribbon Standard
- Paddle
- Trowel
All agitator types have at least one thing in common; the outer ribbon/paddle conveys material towards the discharge and the inner ribbon/paddle conveys material away from the discharge.
