PFA-Coated Ribbon Blender for Sensitive Applications
Targets applications where stainless steel or carbon steel may not be suitable.
Ross Mixers’ customized PFA-coated ribbon blender has been engineered to meet the needs of sensitive and challenging applications where stainless steel or carbon steel may not be suitable. This specialized blender has a 5 ft³ working capacity, and the PFA coating is available as an optional feature across various sizes of Ross ribbon blenders and paddle blenders.
The interior of the trough, the double-ribbon agitator, bolted stub shafts and valve funnel are all durably coated with black PFA. In addition to preventing product contamination and steel corrosion, the PFA coating reportedly promotes material release and simplifies cleaning. The dust-tight knife gate valve is also easy to operate and further ensures a smooth discharge process, according to Ross.
Operator-friendly controls via variable frequency drive with forward/reverse function are said to make the blender convenient to use across a wide range of applications, including powders, pellets and slurries.
