PIZZA AND PASTA FLOUR RIBBON BLENDER/STIRRER

RB2RC00400DD

The Challenge

For a manufacturer of pizza and pasta flour premixes, we were requested to supply a ribbon blender/stirrer to be integrated into their new production line.

The products to be processed consist of various types of flour and additives used to produce pasta and pizza bases and premixes.

The unit, installed directly beneath an MC² paddle mixer (supplied as part of the same package), is tasked with keeping the premixes in slow motion. This eliminates the risk of product caking and agglomeration while the batches await pneumatic transfer to the packaging department.

The MC² Solution

  • Mixer model: RB2RC00400DD batch ribbon blender/stirrer
  • Maximum working capacity: 640 litres
  • Material of construction: 304L stainless steel U-trough and end plates
  • 304L stainless steel rotor shaft, with air-purged seals with temperature sensors
  • Mixing tools: 4 concentric, counter-rotating ribbon flights in 304L stainless steel
  • 1 off. bolted lid
  • 1 off. round flanged inlet, custom-made
  • 1 off. round flanged vent port
  • 1 off. flanged open round discharge outlet, without actuation
  • 2 off. frontal side-hinged inspection doors, on mixing trough, horizontal opening with interlocks
  • Finishing of parts in contact with the product: satin polishing to a Ra ≤0.8μm
  • Direct drive, directly flanged to end plate, complete with a 7.5 kW electric motor
  • ATEX zone 22 compliance of all electric devices (electric motor, solenoids, interlocks)

Key Benefits

  • Gentle, constant and slow mixing action, ideal for fragile ant heat-sensitive materials
  • Excellent homogenisation of all ingredients
  • Low installed power, low energy consumption
  • Compact layout, minimum footprint
  • Quick and easy cleaning operations, thanks to the low roughness internal surfaces and the food-grade/pharma configuration
  • Outstanding return on investment
