1. Leading Mixing And Blending OEM Announces New Look Website To www.mixers.com 11/9/2022

   ROSS is pleased to announce the launch of its newly redesigned website. Mixers.com is faster than ever before, easier to navigate and contains more product information.

2. Integrate Safety And Ergonomics In ROSS Ribbon Blenders 8/17/2022

   Designed to minimize risk and maximize productivity, ROSS Ribbon Blenders meet OSHA standards with safety shaft guards (no external moving parts) and limit switches that prevent operation of the agitator when any cover or manway is open. In addition, safety grating can be installed on dedicated charge ports or across the entire blender opening for extra protection and to make it easier for operators to dump bags of dry raw material into the blender.

3. Ultra-High Shear Mixer Ideal For Both Sanitary And Industrial Applications 1/25/2022

   The ROSS X-Series Inline Ultra-High Shear Mixer is designed for efficient high-throughput emulsification, dispersion, and homogenization.

4. Convenient Powder Induction In Large Mixing Tanks 11/5/2021

   ROSS VersaMix Multi-Shaft Mixers with Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) Technology enable fast and efficient large-scale powder dispersion into low-viscosity liquids including resins, oils, melted waxes, emulsions, and aqueous solutions.

5. Inline Ultra High Shear Mixer 700 Series Designed For Challenging Shear Requirements 9/17/2021

   The ROSS Inline Ultra High Shear Mixer 700 Series is designed for challenging shear requirements, a more efficient alternative to colloid mills which generally suffer from low throughput.

6. Pesticide Production Utilizing Ribbon Blender Technology 4/23/2021

   A manufacturer of pest control products was previously batching a granular pesticide for insect larvae in small quantities using a table-top kitchen mixer. As the product line grew, it became necessary to move the process to a large-scale blender. The company visited the Ross Test & Development Center to see if a Ribbon Blender can produce a uniform blend of the granules, liquid component and powder.

7. Ross Introduces Sanitary Ribbon Blender With Bag Dump Workstation 11/11/2020

   ROSS engineers custom blending systems incorporating ergonomic material handling accessories, including bag dump workstations.

8. Double Planetary Mixer Ideal For High-Precision Mixing, Granulation And Vacuum Drying 10/29/2020

   The ROSS Double Planetary Mixer is ideal for high-precision mixing, granulation and vacuum drying all in a single vessel.

9. Charles Ross And Son Announces New Skid System Capable Of Mixing And Pumping Viscous Products 7/31/2020

   ROSS recently designed a new skid system capable of mixing and pumping low to moderately viscous products. The Model VSL-400 design is a custom conical vessel on a movable skid with a progressive cavity pump rated for 10-30 gallons/minute.

10. Recommended Mixing Equipment For Catalytic Slurries 7/21/2020

    Catalytic slurries consisting of solid catalysts and support materials suspended in a liquid medium are commonly prepared in batch tanks agitated by low-speed mixers such as propellers, anchor paddles and pitched blade impellers. These devices can sometimes suffer from long cycle times and inadequate dispersion especially in large batches. Technologies like the Ross Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) offer a more practical method of wetting out powders and quickly achieving the desired particle size distribution in high percent solids slurries.
