What does a ROSS Double Cone Blender do? The ROSS Double Cone Blender is a common workhorse used throughout the process industries for mixing powders and other free-flowing solids. This blender can heat, cool, or dry materials under vacuum. It can also coat solid particles with small amounts of liquid. How does a ROSS Double Cone Blender work? A ROSS Double Cone Blender features a rotating vessel comprising two conical sections and a middle cylindrical shell. Diffusion is the main mechanism for mixing: batch materials cascade down, distributing particles over a freshly exposed surface as the vessel rotates on a horizontal axis. Tumble blending is very low-impact and appropriate for processing abrasive solids and friable ingredients. It is also commonly used in making precise blends containing trace components or ingredients that are dissimilar in size and density. The geometry of the double cone vessel allows complete discharge of the blended material. Design – Standard models are suitable for bulk densities up to 150 lbs/cu.ft., with heavy-duty options available for handling extremely dense powders up to 900 lbs/cu.ft. or more. A high speed intensifier bar can be installed along the blender’s axis of rotation for breaking up large agglomerates. Minor liquid ingredients may be introduced via spray nozzles installed on the intensifier bar for continuous and even application throughout the solid particle surfaces as the blender rotates. Other customizations include heating/cooling jacket, vacuum capability, sanitary finishes, all-stainless steel construction, high-performance elastomers, explosion-proof motor and controls.
