High Shear Planetary Dispersers

The Ross PowerMix is a hybrid planetary mixer suited to address the need for high shear in formulations too viscous for conventional dual-shaft mixers.

The Ross PowerMix is a hybrid planetary mixer suited to address the need for high shear in formulations too viscous for conventional dual-shaft mixers. The mixer is equipped with the patented high-viscosity stirrer blade, providing axial product movement and radial exposure to a high-speed disperse blade, which in turn breaks down agglomerates and promotes rapid solids wet-out. Both the stirrer blade and saw-tooth disperser revolve around the batch while rotating on individual axes at independent speeds. The mixer is available across a range of working capacities including 1 quart to 1000 gallons.
