What does a ROSS Dual Shaft Mixer do?
The ROSS Dual Shaft Mixers are a versatile and cost-effective 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 Dual Shaft Mixer work?
The Dual Shaft Mixer includes an anchor agitator and a high speed disperser. The open disc blade of the disperser, which travels at roughly 5,000 feet per minute, is designed to induce vigorous turbulent flow. It creates a vortex into which dry ingredients can be poured for fast wetting. The anchor feeds product towards the high speed disperser blade and ensures that the mixture is constantly in motion. Teflon scrapers can be installed on the anchor to remove materials from the interior vessel walls, enhancing the mixer's heat transfer capabilities.
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 agitation system is highly customizable in terms of blade combinations and designs.
