Accelerate Bulk Powder Dispersion Into Liquid
3/13/2012
Mixing bulk solids into liquid can be challenging not only due to low solubility or resistance to wet-out/dispersion. The difficulty may simply be due to sheer volume.

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

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

Tech Brief: Apply High Speed Powder Induction To Eliminate Dusting In The Mixing Area
1/4/2011
When poured from one open vessel into another, lightweight solids easily become airborne and can require extensive clean up. The most serious concern however is the impact of dusting on plant safety. By Charles Ross and Son Company

White Paper: Improvements To The Mixing Step Can Lead To Big Rewards
11/9/2008
A semi-continuous process is beneficial to maintaining a clean and streamlined batch mixing operation without compromising the level of control over discrete units of production. The semi-continuous mixing procedure is achieved by utilizing a change-can design mixer. With multiple vessels, one mix could be at the loading stage, another under the mixer, another at the discharge step, and yet another at the cleanup stage.

Graceful Scale-Up Of Mixing Systems: Make It Happen For You
5/7/2008
When acquiring a process that involves one or several mixing steps, foresight for scale-up or expansion remains to be a subtle but important factor for long-term success. As production requirements grow, your ability to shift gears smoothly, quickly and efficiently is critical because it can spell the difference between an economical transition and a financial disaster. Many process engineers have answered the call for greater capacity while avoiding scaleup entirely by simply adding more mixers identical to the ones they already had.

White Paper: The Advantages Of Mixing Under Vacuum
4/14/2008
Many of the advantages of mixing, blending and drying under vacuum have been recognized for years. But until recently, vacuum has also been widely misunderstood. Many processors have considered vacuum essential — and cost-effective — only for the most demanding applications.
