What does a ROSS PowerMix do? The ROSS patented PowerMix is a hybrid planetary disperser designed to impart a combination of high and low speed agitation for mixtures that start out very fluid and eventually thicken up throughout the course of the batching process. From water-like viscosity to around 2 million cP, the PowerMix can impart high shear at any stage, including when the batch is still too low in viscosity to benefit from a Double Planetary Mixer’s kneading action. How does a ROSS PowerMix work? The ROSS PowerMix consists of a planetary stirrer and a high speed disperser blade. Both agitators revolve around a central axis while rotating on their own axes. The planetary stirrer sweeps material away from the vessel sidewalls and bottom, carrying it to the saw-tooth blade. This accelerates solids wet-out and dispersion while promotes both material and temperature uniformity throughout the batch at all times. Scalability - Each agitator is independently driven by an inverter-duty motor, allowing users to tailor speeds to the process at hand. The PowerMix is available in sizes ranging from 1 quart to 750 gallons and offered with a variety of options such as vacuum/pressure design, jacketed vessels, sidewall and bottom scrapers, sanitary finish, and more. 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.
