Mixing: High-Shear Mixers for Viscous Applications
Hybrid mixer has stirrer, disperse blades.
Responding to the need for high shear in formulations too viscous for conventional dual-shaft mixers, the Ross PowerMix from Charles Ross & Son Co. is a hybrid planetary mixer equipped with the patented high viscosity “HV” stirrer blade providing axial product movement and radial exposure to a high-speed disperse blade, which in turn breaks down agglomerates and promotes rapid solids wet-out. Both the stirrer blade and saw-tooth disperser revolve around the batch while rotating on individual axes at independent speeds.
The PowerMix is available across a full range of working capacities from 1 qt to 1000 gal.
