Mixing UHMW-PE Powder and Color Pigments with PerMix Ribbon Blenders

When it comes to mixing Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) powder and color pigments at room temperature, PerMix Ribbon Blenders offer the perfect solution. Our ribbon mixers are engineered for precision, efficiency, and ease of use, ensuring consistent and homogenous blending even for challenging materials like UHMW-PE. Here’s how PerMix outperforms other ribbon blenders in this application:

Key Features and Advantages

1. Superior Mixing Efficiency
   PerMix Ribbon Blenders are designed with a double-helix ribbon system that ensures thorough and consistent blending of UHMW-PE powder and color pigments. The inner and outer ribbons create a counter-current flow, ensuring uniform distribution of pigments throughout the UHMW-PE base without localized hot spots or uneven blending.
2. Handling UHMW-PE Challenges
   UHMW-PE powder is known for its low bulk density and potential for poor flowability. Our ribbon mixers are equipped with powerful, energy-efficient motors that provide the torque needed to handle dense and lightweight materials alike. The design prevents clogging and ensures a smooth, continuous mixing process.
3. Stub Shaft Design for Maintenance-Free Operation
   The stub shaft design eliminates the need for internal bearings within the mixing chamber, reducing potential contamination points and ensuring a more sanitary operation. This also simplifies maintenance, as there are fewer components exposed to wear and tear.
4. EZ-Clean System for Fast and Easy Cleaning
   PerMix’s EZ-Clean System allows for rapid cleaning between batches, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. The system includes easy-access doors, a smooth interior finish, and CIP (Clean-In-Place) compatibility, making it ideal for environments where cross-contamination must be avoided.
5. Air Purge Seals for Powder Containment
   Our air purge seals prevent powder leakage and protect the bearings by creating a pressurized air barrier. This ensures a longer lifespan for critical components and maintains the integrity of the mixing process by keeping external contaminants out.
6. Construction Options for Durability and Versatility
   PerMix Ribbon Blenders are constructed from high-quality materials, including 304 and 316 stainless steel, with options for Hardox or titanium for abrasive or demanding applications. This ensures durability and performance, even in challenging mixing environments.
7. Customizable to Meet Specific Needs
   Every PerMix Ribbon Blender can be customized to meet unique customer requirements. From variable speed drives to load cells for precise ingredient dosing, we tailor our mixers to match your process.
