Purchasing a horizontal ribbon blender is a significant investment, and it is important to understand its price range and factors that affect it. The price of a horizontal ribbon blender varies greatly, depending on a variety of factors such as model, configuration and brand, and the price fluctuation range is large, generally between $500 and $100,000. However, there are several key factors that will significantly affect the final price of a horizontal ribbon blender.
Material
Carbon steel horizontal ribbon blenders are the most economical choice and are suitable for mixing non-food grade, non-corrosive materials.
Stainless steel (304 or 316L): 304 stainless steel is a common choice in the food and general chemical industries, while 316L stainless steel has higher corrosion resistance and is suitable for pharmaceutical, fine chemical or extremely hygienic applications, and the price will be higher accordingly. Surface treatment (such as polishing level) also affects the cost.
Equipment capacity
The capacity of the mixer is an important factor affecting the price. Generally speaking, the larger the mixing capacity, the higher the price. Small horizontal ribbon mixers, with capacities ranging from tens to hundreds of liters, are suitable for small-scale production scenarios such as laboratories and small workshops, and are relatively affordable. Large industrial-grade mixers, with capacities of thousands or even tens of thousands of liters, can meet large-scale production needs, but their prices often exceed $50,000. The larger the volume, the more materials are used, the higher the processing cost, and the price rises accordingly. It is recommended that customers choose the capacity reasonably according to the daily output to avoid waste of resources or insufficient equipment load.
Configuration and Function
Some customers need to customize the configuration of related products, including heating/cooling jackets, liquid spray systems, vacuum structures, crushing blades and other components, and the price will increase.
Different functional configurations will make a huge difference in the price of horizontal ribbon mixers. The basic mixer only has a simple material mixing function and is relatively cheap. However, if special functions are added, such as heating function, the material temperature can be raised by passing heat transfer oil or steam through the jacket to meet the mixing requirements of hot-melt materials; cooling function, the material temperature can be controlled by passing cooling water through the jacket; explosion-proof function, equipped with explosion-proof motor, explosion-proof electronic control system, etc., for mixing flammable and explosive materials. With each addition of these special functions, the price of the equipment will increase significantly. The price of a mixer with heating function may be 2000-5000 US dollars higher than that of an ordinary mixer; the price of an explosion-proof mixer is several times that of an ordinary mixer, which can reach more than 10,000 US dollars.
When purchasing a horizontal ribbon mixer, it is recommended that customers clarify the following points to accurately match the equipment with the budget
The weight or volume of each batch of mixed materials;
Material characteristics: whether it is easy to absorb moisture, easy to agglomerate, corrosive;
Whether it needs to be mixed with liquid, heated, cooled, and other process requirements;
Comprehensive consideration of the above factors will not only help control the budget, but also ensure that the purchased equipment truly meets the actual production needs, avoiding the situation of "low price but not easy to use" or "waste caused by over-configuration".
