Advanced Discharge Systems

Advanced Discharge Systems by Ross are built with mechanisms to fit almost any high-viscosity application and increase efficiency following the mixing process. The machines are equipped with a machined platen fitted with an O-ring that rides against the vessel wall as the platen is lowered hydraulically and pushes down on the product. Scales for dispensing precise dosages and PLC (PID) controls for weighing and dosing are also included.

The DS-10 model (pictured) features a scale system with 10 kg capacity and +/- 3 grams accuracy; a control box that allows data acquisition covering an array of parameters including batch weights, date/time, and speeds; and an IP69K harsh environment-rated scale that protects against dust, high temperature, and high pressure water. A plexiglass enclosure and proximity switches prevent operation of the platen if the mix vessel is not in place and/or the safety shield doors are not closed.

Equivalence test using two one-sided tests are widely used for demonstrating the comparability of treatment effects in different research fields. The method described in the manuscript aims to use simulations in Microsoft Excel to compute power for 2 one-sided tests for two groups with unequal variances.
