Ross Develops Customized, Fully Enclosed Mixing/Melting System
The system features a specially designed elevator system which enables the mixers to be lowered to a maintenance position and raised to an operating height, thereby enabling gravity to feed from the melter into the holding tank.

Ross’ Mixing/Melting and Holding Tank System has been completely engineered and customized from the ground up, giving it the ability to produce highly potent and reactive materials at 350°F and up to 10 psig internal pressure.
The system includes a pressure-rated sealed enclosure with an operator-friendly safety glove box and two mixers each equipped with a two-wing anchor agitator, Teflon scrapers and a jacketed 6-gallon vessel, the company says. One tank functions as a mixer/melter connected to a vacuum powder loading system, while the other tank functions as a holding tank with gravity feeding the finished product into a downstream coating machine.
A specially designed elevator system enables the mixers to be lowered to a maintenance position and raised to an operating height, thereby enabling gravity to feed from the melter into the holding tank. A hot oil heater and chilled water cooler are also supplied.
