What does a ROSS Double Planetary Mixer do? The ROSS Double Planetary Mixer turns over thick, sticky or putty-like materials with great efficiency through a kneading action to the batch which smooths out its consistency and breaks up agglomerates. The same planetary agitation is useful for high-precision granulation and vacuum drying operations. How does a ROSS Double Planetary Mixer work? The ROSS Double Planetary Mixer consists of two identical blades that rotate on their own axes, while they orbit the mix vessel on a common axis. The blades continuously advance along the periphery of the vessel, removing material from the vessel wall and transporting it to the interior. In only 36 revolutions around the vessel, the two blades pass through every point in the product zone, physically contacting the entire batch. Design - This vertical mixer has no shaft seals, bearing, packing, or stuffing boxes submerged in the product zone. Agitators are raised and lowered in/out of the mix vessel by a hydraulic lift, enabling easy access for cleaning between batches. Vacuum hoods and interchangeable vessels are precisely machined and able to sustain a deep level of vacuum up to 29.5" Hg. Efficiency – The change can design enables semi-continuous operation, which can significantly increase production. While one vessel is being wheeled away for remote discharge and cleaning, another can be wheeled into position under the mixer to begin the next batch right away. Each vessel can also be dedicated to a particular formulation to simplify cleaning and further reduce batch-to-batch cross-contamination.
