ROSS VersaMix Multi-Shaft Mixers are designed for processing medium-to-high viscosity applications up to several hundred thousand centipoise; this includes thick slurries, pastes, gels, and suspensions. Pictured are the 3000-gallon VersaMix Model VM-3000 equipped with a custom combination of three agitators, each driven by a 60 HP TEFC inverter-duty motor. The three-wing anchor and two screw augers are independently controlled with variable speeds for efficient batch turnover at every ingredient addition and mixing stage.

These vacuum-rated VMC-3000’s are operated from an independent touchscreen control panel. The mixers also feature stainless-steel type 304 dimpled, dual-zone jackets, which are designed for 100 psig at 200°F. VersaMix models range from laboratory- to large-scale capacities of up to 4000 gallons.
