Industrial Mixers

Increased demand, product improvements, change in raw material supplier, custom orders and many other situations can cause mixing processes to outgrow the original equipment. This bulletin offers some insights into the operation of high speed dispersers and how to address specific areas of improvement using alternative mixing solutions. Read more...

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. The pictured VersaMix Model VM-600 is a 600-gal capacity dual-shaft mixer designed for deep vacuum levels. Featuring a High Shear Mixer with SLIM... Read more...

Combining high shear dispersion and emulsification capabilities with a very economical capital and operating cost, the CJ-20 series of the Reversible Homogenizing Mixer can disperse fine powders to small particle size and also emulsify immiscible liquids such as oil and water phases to a single micron droplet size distribution. Reversible axial flow allows the CJ-20 to accomplish... Read more...

ARDE Barinco, Inc., can supply a wide variety of propeller mixers and turbine agitators. Standard "clamp on" prop mixers along with side entering and pressure sealed designs are available. Sanitary polished versions for pharmaceutical and food processing applications can be made.

Both axial flow and radial flow turbine agitators can be supplied including super efficient hyd... Read more...

Application Summary

Mixing is a critical step in the production of high-quality, stable food emulsions. Besides formulating with the right ingredients and ensuring proper storage, imparting sufficient shear to the product during the mixing process helps prevent premature phase separation which may manifest as creaming, flocculation or coalescence.

Several mixing technologie... Read more...

Vertical Blender/Dryers feature a slow-turning auger screw orbiting a vacuum-rated conical vessel. As it turns, the screw gently lifts material upward and towards the center of the batch. At the same time, product from the top cascades back to the bottom while mixing with materials being moved upward by the orbiting screw. During the drying cycle, hot water, oil or steam is recirculated... Read more...

ROSS offers sanitary Vertical Blenders engineered for rapid homogenization and drying of delicate applications under vacuum. The design avoids the destructive effects of heat on unstable ingredients, it promotes vaporization at lower temperatures during gentle agitation while preventing oxidation. Sanitary aspects of the machine including the cantilevered screw without bottom support eli... Read more...

Mixing is a critical step in the production of sunscreen, largely because proper dispersion of the active ingredients and additives directly impacts the end product's efficacy and stability.

This bulletin describes several high shear mixing technologies utilized in the manufacture of sunscreen and sun tan lotions. Mixer selection is based on a number of factors, primarily viscosit... Read more...

Mixing wet and dry ingredients in a ribbon blender requires an efficient and consistent method of raw material addition. This method depends on several factors including the properties of each liquid and solid component, how they interact, as well as the amount of fluid that needs to be added. This bulletin presents some useful techniques that may apply to your particular process.
