PerMix UK supplies a complete range of ribbon mixers engineered to meet the demands of manufacturers across the United Kingdom and Europe. Designed with a focus on hygienic construction, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance, our ribbon mixers are trusted in industries as diverse as food, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, chemicals, and building materials.

All PerMix ribbon mixers are customisable, from batch size and agitator design to discharge valves and CIP options. Every system is available with UKCA and CE marking and can be built to ATEX standards for safe operation under DSEAR regulations.

The horizontal ribbon mixer is one of the most widely used mixing solutions in the UK. Its U-shaped trough and double helical ribbons move material both radially and laterally, ensuring a fast, uniform blend of powders, granules, and light pastes.

Key benefits for UK industries:

Rapid mixing times minimise energy use and heat generation.
Liquid addition ports for spraying oils, flavourings, or binders during blending.
Jacketed designs for heating or cooling, ideal for food and chemical process.
Hygienic options with polished stainless steel, fully weld-ground finishes, and CIP spray balls.

Applications in the UK :

Blending spice mixes, flour, and bakery ingredients.
Mixing plant-based proteins and nutritional powders.
Chemical additives, detergents, and pigments.
Mortars, adhesives, and construction compounds.

Where floor space is limited, or delicate materials require gentle handling, the vertical ribbon mixer is the preferred choice. The vertical design uses a central ribbon agitator inside a conical or cylindrical body, lifting and folding material for consistent blends.

Advantages for UK manufacturers:

Compact footprint for smaller facilities or retrofits.
Gentle mixing action prevents damage to fragile materials.
Complete discharge with minimal residue.
ATEX-compliant builds available for powders prone to dust ignition.

Typical UK applications

Reduced drying times under vacuum.
Precise temperature control with heating and cooling jackets.
Condensate recovery systems for solvent or aroma collection.
Explosion-proof options for solvent-rich environments.

For processes that require both mixing and drying, PerMix offers vacuum ribbon mixers and dryers. These combine ribbon agitation with vacuum technology, enabling low-temperature drying of heat-sensitive materials while maintaining batch homogeneity.

Key features :

Reduced drying times under vacuum.
Precise temperature control with heating and cooling jackets.
Condensate recovery systems for solvent or aroma collection.
Explosion-proof options for solvent-rich environments.

Applications in the UK & EU:

Pharmaceutical powders (antibiotics, excipients).
Nutraceutical blends with heat-sensitive ingredients.
Food products requiring moisture reduction (cocoa, starches).
Specialty chemicals requiring solvent recovery.
