INDUSTRIAL RIBBON BLENDER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global industrial ribbon blender market size was valued at USD 0.11 billion in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 0.18 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. 

The ribbon blender is a ribbon mixer machine that is widely used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries to produce dry powder, talcum powder, granules, spices, and low-viscosity paste and liquid. To ensure proper mixing, approximately two-thirds of the volume of the ribbon blender/mixer container is filled. Ribbon blender mixer is ideal for handling large dry and wet powder volumes in the pharmaceutical, crystalline, insecticide, pesticide, and food industries, as well as heat sensitive, chemical, and cosmetic products. It is made up of a horizontal "U" shaped vessel with a horizontally installed shaft.

Ribbon mixers was created using cutting-edge technology to achieve high blending capabilities and is one of the most efficient machines on the market. Ribbon mixing equipment can be used in batch or continuous flow mode to achieve an even and homogeneous blend in a variety of products. Blending technology is widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, animal feed processing, chemicals, fertilizers, cosmetics, pigments, and insecticides. The vertical blender mixer is also useful in the distribution of liquids and pasty products in micro dosages onto carriers.

COVID-19 Impact

Halt on Machinery and Equipment to Hamper Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the global industrial ribbon blender market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden surge in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Several operations have been halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The overall industrial ribbon blenders market is being influenced by the volatile global environment. Numerous local and national government restrictions, such as lockdowns and workforce restrictions, resulted in the closure of numerous manufacturing facilities. As a result of these lockdowns, the majority of companies' revenues were at risk of stagnation, making them hesitant to invest large sums in these machineries as capital investments. Various food and beverage production companies have also cut down production by closing certain operations or business segments, necessitating the use of fewer machineries, particularly multi-functional ones, to help these companies maximize their overall profit margins, production volumes, and eliminate excessive costs associated with exclusive food processing machineries.

Latest Trends

Incorporation of VFD Based Blenders to Drive Market Growth

The blender is widely used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, cement, and plastic industries, among others. The blender, on the other hand, wastes a lot of energy because it is always designed with a larger capacity but rarely needs to run at the rated speed. It is recommended that, based on the characteristics of the blender, a vector control variable frequency drive be installed to achieve reasonable and efficient speed control, and that a bypass function be added to enable switching between the VFD and the mains supply. Furthermore, the vector control VFD has a multi-step speed function that can be selected and set based on the material properties and chemical reaction time. Through its powerful communication function with the industrial control computer and software, VFDs can also aid in the realization of on-line control, there driving the global industrial ribbon blender market growth.

Driving Factors

Rising Usage of Cosmetics & Personal Care Products to Drive Market Growth

Rigorous mixing in a well-designed Ribbon Blender is an efficient way to prepare face powders, eye shadows, pressed make-up, foundations, blushes, bronzers, and other powder cosmetics. Ribbon Blenders are made up of a U-shaped horizontal trough and a custom-made ribbon agitator. Ross Ribbon Blenders with horizontal double helical ribbons have a long history of use in the production of cosmetic powders.

Growth of Food Producing Machineries to Drive Market Growth

Mixers and blenders are essential for transforming raw ingredients for human consumption. Proper mixing is essential for creating consistency, whether it is blending multiple ingredients in high volume or small-scale mixing by hand. The ribbon mixer is one of the most common types of blenders in the food industry. A ribbon blender's design makes it both cost-effective and efficient for mixing dry applications. Dry food products such as muffin and cake mixes, cereals, bread improvers, spices and herbs, snack bars, trail mixes, infant food, and dietary supplements are all mixed with it.

Restraining Factors

Limited Discharge Capacity of Ribbon Blenders to Restrain the Market Growth

The main disadvantage of a ribbon blender is its inefficiency for 100% discharge. Because of the large clearance between the outer ribbon and the vessel, some powder may remain unmixed. Furthermore, the mixer profile must be at least 2.5 times the agitator's diameter.

In areas with a greater clearance between the outer ribbon and the vessel, the product can remain unmixed. A smaller gap between the ribbon and the vessel wall increases the likelihood of material un-mixing.
