  1. Ross Ribbon Blenders Suitable For Both Industrial And Sanitary Applications 8/16/2011
    Ross Ribbon Blenders cater to a wide range of bulk densities, suitable for industrial or sanitary applications. All units are direct driven by an inverter-ready gearmotor, an integral design superior to belt- and chain-driven blenders that suffer from losses in horsepower and efficiency through slippage.
  2. Mixing Applications In Selected Green Technologies 8/3/2011
    As major developments continue to advance in the areas of renewable energy, green construction, green chemistry and many other markets, new mixing applications and processing challenges arise. The aim of this paper is to provide practical information on certain mixing requirements currently seen within selected green industries and how these production needs are being met through the efficient use of specialty mixing equipment.
  3. Technical Brief: Hybrid Planetary Mixers Produce High Viscosity Mixtures With Ultra-Fine Dispersion Quality 4/15/2011

    Hybrid planetary mixers are utilized for creating fine dispersions in viscous mixtures, typically within the viscosity range of 100,000 to 2 million cP. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  5. Technical Brief: Mixing High Solids Formulations 4/15/2011

    Mixer selection for high solids formulations depends on viscosity rather than percent solids. Regardless of solids concentration, low-viscosity mixtures can be prepared in single-shaft rotor/stator mixers or high-speed dispersers. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  6. Tech Brief: Ribbon Blenders Are Ideal For Coating And Mixing Processes 4/5/2011

    In certain industries, mixing of solid materials is required not only to blend different components, but also to intimately coat a minor or trace ingredient onto the rest of the other particles in the batch. To maximize the functionality of the minor ingredient, individual particles of the bulk material have to be evenly coated. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  7. Tech Brief: Vertical Blender/Dryers Deliver High Drying Rates With Negligible Risk Of Product Attrition 2/11/2011

    Agitated dryers give significantly higher drying rates per unit heating area than non-agitated systems such as ovens and tray dryers. This is due to continuous renewal of solids in contact with the dryer’s heated surfaces. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  9. Ultra-High Shear Mixers Increase Overall Throughput And Efficiency Of Homogenization Processes 1/5/2011

    Many fine emulsions and dispersions require multiple passes through a high pressure homogenizer to achieve the final droplet or particle size distribution. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  10. Tech Brief: Ultra-High Shear Mixers Increase Overall Throughput And Efficiency Of Homogenization Processes 1/5/2011

    Several types of mixing systems are utilized for combining raw materials into a pre-mix. There are gentle agitation devices such as low speed propellers, turbines or paddle agitators. Better quality pre-mixes are achieved through the use of high speed devices like open-disc saw-tooth blades and high shear rotor/stator mixers. By Charles Ross and Son Company
