Ross’ line of VersaMix Multi-Shaft Mixers are capable of processing viscous solutions, dispersions, suspensions and emulsions with viscosities in the hundreds of thousands of centipoise. The company says this line of mixers is also built for longevity, speed and efficiency.
The Ross VMC-100 is designed for vacuum operation up to 29.5″ Hg and supplied with interchangeable 100-gallon mix cans, each fabricated with a 50-psig, ASME-code stamped jacket for heating/cooling via glycol. The custom electrohydraulic system is engineered to fully raise the motor drive in 15 seconds.
The VMC-100 features three independently driven agitators. A three-wing anchor agitator is equipped with an optional hinged sidewall and bottom Teflon scrapers to improve heat transfer across the jacketed vessel. The high shear mixer is capable of introducing powders subsurface while the batch is low in viscosity.
Through the Ross Solids Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) technology, raw material additions are less dusty and lumps or fish eyes are avoided. The 8″ diameter high-speed disperser continues to apply shear as the batch increases in viscosity.
Optional features include a cover-mounted thermowell; built-in vacuum pump; pneumatic vacuum make/break valves; and touchscreen controls with recipe management system (10 recipes using 10 steps based on speed, time, temperature and vacuum level) that enable operators to seamlessly record and replicate multiple formulations in the VMC-100.
