Application of ribbon mixer in pet feed mixing

July 15, 2025

Pet feed as the cornerstone of the healthy growth of pets, the ingredients are complex and diverse. It covers grains to provide energy, meat, beans and other high quality protein, as well as various vitamins and minerals to ensure the normal operation of pet body function, as well as functional ingredients such as oil and probiotics. These raw materials have obvious differences in physical characteristics, some are powdery, some are granular, and the specific gravity is different.

Ribbon mixers play a key role in mixing pet feed. Its working principle is based on a unique structural design, and the screw belt inside the device is divided into two layers. The motor drives the screw belt to rotate, the outer screw belt pushes the material from the two ends of the equipment to the middle, and the inner screw belt transports the material from the middle to the two ends. This kind of opposite material movement forms a strong convective mixing effect.

Ribbon mixer has significant advantages in mixing pet feed. First, the ribbon mixer responds to the diversity of feed ingredients to ensure that the ingredients are evenly mixed, so that each bite of feed is nutritionally balanced. Secondly, the mixing process is relatively mild, does not destroy the heat-sensitive vitamins and other nutrients, nor does it break the granular raw materials, and retains the quality of the raw materials to the greatest extent. In addition, the screw belt mixer is simple to operate, high production efficiency, and can be flexibly adjusted according to different production scales, providing a reliable and efficient mixing scheme for pet feed manufacturers.
