Inline Shear Mixers Induct Powders, Homogenize and Pump
Elimates need for secondary machines, operations.
New Inline SLIM (Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold) High-Shear Mixers from Ross reportedly combine three processing steps in one machine.
The close tolerance of the rotor and stator exposes 100% of liquid product to high shear and exerts a secondary pumping effect, eliminating the need for separate homogenization and recirculation pumping in viscosities under 10,000 cP. At the same time, the proprietary (SLIM) rotor generates a powerful suction which allows for large quantities of powders to be dispersed directly into the mix chamber, a distinct advantage compared to upstream powder introduction typical of traditional eductors.
The SLIM design said to be is simpler to operate, drastically reduces clogging and prevents agglomerates from forming in the first place.
