A High Shear Mixing Solution for Every Process.
Industrial Mixing Equipment
High Shear Mixers
Ross is the leading manufacturer of high shear rotor-stator mixer homogenizers and high-speed dispersion equipment for the adhesives, chemical, cosmetic, food pharmaceutical and plastics industries. Our designs are ideal for emulsification, homogenization, particle size reduction and dispersion.
Laboratory testing is available to qualify your application, and to insure the selection of the best Ross High Speed Mixer for your requirements. Based on data supplied or gathered during testing in our Test and Development Center, our engineers assist in the selection of the most efficient equipment.
Design Options
Batch High Shear Mixers
The Batch High Shear Mixer can be permanently mounted or suspended over a vessel on a lift. This design offers the flexibility of using a single mixer in multiple vessels. Models are availble in benchtop and production sizes.
Inline High Shear Mixers
The Inline High Shear Mixer is ideal for processes that require frequent changeover from one product to another. A simple valve can divert finished product to a downstream process or switch from one vessel to another.
High Speed Dispersers
High Speed Dispersers are ideal for dispersions up to approx. 50,000 centipoise. When used in conjunction with Multi-Shaft Mixers, they can be useful to several hundred thousand centipoise.
SLIM - Solids Injection
SLIM technology enables you to wet out powders instantly. The SLIM system sucks solids directly into the high shear rotor-stator where they are wetted out and dispersed into the liquid stream.
Industries Served
Recommended Mixing Equipment for Catalytic Slurries
Catalytic slurries consisting of solid catalysts and support materials suspended in a liquid medium are commonly prepared in batch tanks agitated by low-speed mixers such as propellers, anchor paddles and pitched blade impellers. These devices can sometimes suffer from long cycle times and inadequate dispersion especially in large batches.
One alternative solution is to introduce the dry ingredients via sub-surface injection under high shear conditions. Technologies like the Ross Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) offer a more practical method of wetting out powders and quickly achieving the desired particle size distribution in high percent solids slurries.
The ROSS SLIM works with either a hose & wand arrangement, or with a fixed hopper mounted atop the powder induction connection of the mixing chamber. The decision whether to use the wand or the hopper depends on process conditions, the nature of the powders being handled, and the desired goals.
