What does a ROSS Triple Shaft Mixer do?
The ROSS Triple Shaft Mixers are a versatile and highly customizable system for making viscous formulations. They provide agitation and high speed dispersive mixing powerful enough to batch viscous solutions, dispersions, suspensions, and emulsions with viscosities in the hundreds of thousands of centipoise.
How does a ROSS Triple Shaft Mixer work?
The Triple Shaft Mixer includes an anchor agitator, a high shear rotor/stator mixer and a high speed disperser. The rotor/stator has the ability to emulsify and homogenize, while the open disc blade of the disperser is designed to induce vigorous turbulent flow and create a vortex into which dry ingredients can be poured for fast wetting. The anchor feeds product towards the high speed agitators and ensures that the mixture is constantly in motion. Teflon scrapers can be installed on the anchor
Design – Made of high-quality stainless steel type parts, these machines are built for robust and continuous use. Precision bearings with large bearing spans minimize deflection and vibration of agitator shafts. This contributes to improved strength and longevity of the robustly designed agitation system.
Safety - Safety limit switches prevent operation of the mixer when the mix vessel and/or agitators are not in the mixing position. Motors, control panels and all electrical components are customized to meet area classification requirements.
Independently Driven Agitators – The agitator system is highly customizable in terms of blade combinations and designs. No bearings or seals are submerged into the product zone which means better protection against contamination.
