• New Ribbon Blenders Ideal For Powders And Raw Materials

  Charles Ross & Son Company has introduced the Ross 42B Model Ribbon Blenders, which are used for straightforward blending of powders or other solid raw materials with a bulk density of 35 lbs/cu.ft. or lower.

• Ross Introduces Laboratory High Viscosity Disperser Model PBA-2

  Ross introduces a Laboratory High Viscosity Disperser featuring interchangeable bow-tie and paddle blades driven by a 2HP explosion-proof, VFD-capable motor. Suitable for use with standard 5-gallon pails, this bench-top mixer is ideal for thorough blending of fluids with very different viscosities, quickly resuspending dense solids that have settled during transport or storage, preparing thick paste-like formulations and other similar applications.

• Ross Slim System Accelerates Powder Induction Charles Ross & Son Company, the world leader in rotor/stator mixing technology, offers a new in-line system that dramatically improves powder induction in a liquid stream.
• Selecting the Right Blade to Optimize Mixing The key to solving tough blending problems and meeting ambitious goals for throughput and product quality is often unconventional thinking. Faced with the challenge of blending a slurry of extremely dense materials, then drying the batch to form a light, fluffy powder, your first thought would probably be to rely on a traditional vacuum dryer...
• Ross Completes Vacuum Paddle Blender Charles Ross & Son Company has recently completed and shipped a horizontal Paddle Blender
• New Mixing System Introduced By Ross Charles Ross & Son Company recently introduced a new mixing and dispersion system. The new system combines a Ross High Shear Mixer and a specially designed PowerMix for use in manufacturing fine dispersions.
• Ross Builds Special 600 Gallon Mixing System Charles Ross and Son Company announces the completion of a special 600 gallon Dual Shaft - Mixing and Dispersion and Control System
• Charles Ross Announces ISG Static Mixers For High Viscosity (Laminar Flow) Applications

  The Ross Interfacial Surface Generator (ISG) is a patented Static Mixer (US Patent No. 3404869) designed for laminar flow processes such as blending a minor component into a viscous stream.

• Charles Ross Announces R&D And Pilot-Scale Mixers

  Ross manufactures a wide range of bench-top mixers for R&D and pilot-scale requirements, with many selections for multi-viscosity processing, dry solid-solid blending, powder wet-out, inline (continuous) mixing, agitated vacuum drying, homogenization, emulsification and particle size reduction/wet milling.

• Charles Ross Introduces A New Line Of Cylindrical Ribbon Blenders

  Ross introduces a new line of Model 42C Cylindrical Ribbon Blenders designed to mix dry powders, wet granulations and paste-like materials with densities up to 100 lb/cu.ft. Available in many sizes from 1/2 to 1,000 cu.ft. working capacity, Cylindrical Ribbon Blenders can be built for atmospheric, full vacuum or internal pressure operation. A full range of standard, heavy-duty and sanitary models are offered.

• Specifying a Control System The business of creating an efficient mixing or blending system is a spectacular balancing act...
• Ross Completes Its 3000th Double Planetary Mixer

  Charles Ross & Son Company, a manufacturer of specialty mixing, blending, drying and dispersion equipment, recently completed its 3000th Double Planetary Mixer.

• Ross Introduces Sanitary Mixing Systems Charles Ross & Son Company, the leader in specialty mixing and dispersion equipment, is now offering complete sanitary mixing and dispersion systems.

• Ross Vertical Blender Offers Gentle Blending Action The Ross Vertical Blender is ideal for the blending of easily degradable solids. The mixing screw rotates around the periphery of the cone, and simultaneously lifts materials from the bottom to the top of the blender
• Mixing & Blending Control System Literature Available From Ross Ross has announced the completion of new 14-page literature covering its line of Control Systems used with Mixing, Blending, Drying and Dispersion equipment.
• Ross Introduces Skid Mounted Static Mixing Systems Charles Ross & Son Company, the leader in specialty mixing and dispersion equipment, is now offering complete skid mounted static mixing systems.
• Improved Powder Injection In Batch Mixing Systems The Ross Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) is a high shear mixer system designed to accelerate the dispersion of hard-to-wet-out solids while eliminating floating powders in batch tanks and reducing dusting in the mixing area.
• Ross Stocks Sanitary Double Cone Blenders The Double Cone Blenders design is most often used for the intimate dry blending of free flowing solids. The solids being blended in these units can vary in bulk density and in percentage of the total mixture.
• Charles Ross Announces New Sanitary VersaMix Designed For Vacuum/Pressure Operation A new triple shaft Model VMC-40S Sanitary VersaMix was recently introduced. This unique mixer line is designed to provide maximum process flexibility to the user.
• Low Shear Blending And Vacuum Drying In Ross Vertical Blenders

  Ross Vertical Blenders are ideal for low shear blending of powders, pellets, granules, fibers and other solids.

• Static Mixers Offered For Turbulent And Laminar Flow Mixing Charles Ross & Son Company, the leader in specialty mixing and dispersion equipment, offers two economical designs of its Static Mixers. The LPD, Low Pressure Drop model, is typically used for low viscosity turbulent flow mixing of fluids and for gas-liquid, gas-gas mixing. This design is offered in many materials of construction up to 60 inches diameter
• Ross Stocks Sanitary V-Blenders The V-Blenders design is most often used for the intimate dry blending of free flowing solids. The solids being blended in these units can vary in bulk density and in percentage of the total mixture. Materials being blended are constantly being split and intermixed as the shell rotates.
• Charles Ross Announces Ultra-high Shear Homogenization And Particle Disintegration

  The Ross MegaShear Ultra-High Shear Mixer is designed for homogenizing dispersions and disintegrating large solid particles or droplets suspended in liquid. A unique inline rotor/stator design, the MegaShear’s mixing head (US Patent No. 6,241,472) turns at tip speeds well over 11,000 ft/min and generates extremely complex flow patterns without sacrificing throughput
