Intelligent Blends, a sustainable “Better For You” manufacturer and co-packer of single-serve and bagged beverages, announced the addition of a 105cu-ft Ribbon Blender to its state-of-the-art production facility. The investment marks a significant milestone in the company’s continued commitment to innovation, precision and large-scale production capability in the functional arena.

The newly implemented blending system has been custom-engineered to meet the demands of high-capacity blending, providing Intelligent Blends with the capability to efficiently manage substantial production runs. At the same time, the system allows for the strict control over blend uniformity and consistency in quality from batch to batch. 

The advanced blender incorporates several key features, including independent chopper controls for precise ingredient processing, a vibratory sifting infeed to ensure consistent particle size, and variable high-speed settings that can be adjusted as needed.

These features are specifically designed to ensure the optimal and most effective mixing of a wide range of materials, including powders, granules and various functional ingredients, accommodating everything from simple coffee blends to more complex and sophisticated nutritional products.

The new Ribbon Blender strengthens Intelligent Blends’ ability to scale efficiently and adapt to a broader range of formulations, supporting customers across the food and beverage space with turnkey manufacturing solutions.
