Ross Inline High-Shear Mixer Offers Efficiency, Mobility

Ross Storage Vessels designed its Model HSM-405SC-25 Inline High Shear Mixer with Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) Technology with efficiency and mobility in mind, making it well suited for production floors that require flexibility.

The company says the easy-to-clean, stainless steel portable skid with built-in workbench saves time and money as it enables the mixer to be used anywhere in a plant. This eliminates the need for multiple mixers separately dedicated to each vessel or product.

As an external mixer, the Inline SLIM can be piped to the recirculation loop of virtually any size vessel. Featuring sanitary tri-clamp connections, this 3A-compliant machine can be cleaned in place, but is also quick to disassemble for deep cleaning and sanitation.

The SLIM is a rotor/stator device capable of injecting powders directly into a fast-moving liquid stream without the use of an eductor or pump. Engineered for high-speed and high-volume mixing requirements, this device offers a straightforward method of wetting out powders and creating a fine immediate dispersion, greatly reducing the occurrence of floating powders, lumps, and agglomerates.

Using the tabletop workbench, operators can conveniently open bags and load powders into the hopper that sits on top of the mixer, ensuring a consistent feed and minimizing aeration.

• Ross’ customized, fully enclosed mixing/melting 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 also fabricates custom-made, certified storage tanks, pressure vessels and reactors.
