Mixing and Blending Case Studies and White Papers

  1. How To Optimize Solid-Liquid Mixing 3/1/2018

    This paper provides practical information on the efficient use of specialty mixing equipment for the preparation of low, medium and high viscosity solid-liquid mixtures under low and high shear conditions.

  2. How To Easily Scale-Up Mixing Systems 3/1/2018

    When selecting mixing systems, foresight for scale-up is important for long-term success. A quick shift between systems can be the difference between economical success and a financial disaster.

  3. Blending And Drying High-Density Powders 10/9/2014

    For years, blending dense slurries has been a job for the traditional vacuum dryer with a rotating vessel. Today, processors are finding a different blender/dryer can handle the heaviest of materials more easily.

  4. Recommended Blending & Drying Equipment For Ceramic Powders And Slurries 10/9/2014

    Ceramic powders that need to be mixed with other solids or coated with a liquid prior to drying are efficiently processed in a Vertical Blender/Dryer. Manufacturers benefit from the ability of the Vertical Blender/Dryer to quickly remove moisture or solvent from a wide range of feed forms — from slurries and pastes to granules, pellets and powders.

  5. Recommended Drying Equipment For Plastic Resins 10/9/2014

    Vacuum-capable Vertical Blender/Dryers are proven equipment for drying plastic resins.

  6. Recommended Mixing Equipment For Floor Coatings 9/15/2014

    Multi-Shaft Mixers capable of bulk agitation, high-speed powder wet-out and efficient heat transfer are ideal equipment for floor coatings based on epoxy, urethane, acrylic or hybrid chemistries.

  7. Recommended Mixing Equipment For Polishing Compounds 9/15/2014

    A wide range of polishing and finishing compounds are formulated for different surfaces and applications.

  8. Recommended Blending Equipment For Feeds And Fertilizers 8/18/2014

    Ribbon Blenders are well-proven equipment used in batch production of feeds and fertilizers. Ingredients are loaded into the U-shaped trough and mixed by a horizontal solid-shaft agitator consisting of inner and outer helical ribbons.

  9. FMC Biopolymer Reduces Operating Expenses More Than 80% With PERpH-X™ Sensors 5/29/2014

    FMC makes ingredients for consumer products such as toothpaste, baking mixes, and other food products. The plant makes carrageenan out of seaweed using a sequence of chemical processing steps that starts with soaking the seaweed at 200°F.

  10. Recommended Blending Equipment For Powdered Detergents 4/30/2014

    Ross Ribbon Blenders are well proven in the manufacture of detergents and intermediate compositions. Granular and powdered raw materials are loaded into the U-shaped trough and mixed by a horizontal solid-shaft agitator consisting of inner and outer helical ribbons.
