CHARLES ROSS & SON CO.: Vacuum Mixer (7/8/09)
The Ross PowerMix is ideally suited to mix viscous materials requiring a combination of high- and low-shear mixing and dispersion.
The patented PowerMix includes two separate agitation systems within one mixer. A planetary blade revolves in combination with a separate high-speed dispersion blade. Both revolve on their own axes as well as on a common axis, and the speed of each can be changed independent of the other. This combination allows a user to fine-tune the mixer to meet process needs and shear rates that are required for optimization. The PowerMix is used for high-viscosity vacuum mixing and dispersion as well as the dispersion of minor liquid or powder ingredients into powder mixes.
The PowerMix is available in many sizes, from a half-gallon laboratory unit to a 750-gallon production model. Test and trial rental machines are available for evaluation prior to purchase.
