The ROSS Double Cone Tumble Blender (Model DCB) is designed for large-scale yet intimate blending of free-flowing solids in a full suite of laboratory, pilot and production sizes. In a highly repeatable process, minor and micro ingredients are thoroughly distributed throughout the batch more gently than in the more common V-shaped geometry without damaging fragile […]
ROSS incorporates a high shear rotor/stator into a Dual-Shaft Mixer designed for more intense shearing and homogenization requirements. Instead of a conventional high speed disperser blade, the rotor and slotted stator mixing head, also often called a homogenizer, affords more advanced deagglomeration and emulsification capabilities. Complementing the high shear mixer, a two-wing anchor promotes bulk […]
ROSS engineers custom blending systems incorporating ergonomic material handling accessories, including bag dump workstations. A new design allows an operator to safely empty bags of powder through a bar grating while a contiguous vibrating tray assembly catches foreign debris and off-spec ingredients. The custom cover arrangement is now available on all Ribbon Blenders and […]
The ROSS Double Planetary Mixer is ideal for high-precision mixing, granulation and vacuum drying all in a single vessel. Powders and granules are gently blended by two rectangular planetary blades that rotate on their own axes while orbiting the mixing zone on a common axis. Atomizing spray nozzles enable controlled and spill-free addition of liquid raw […]
Tailored to individual process needs, the ROSS Double Planetary Mixer comes with an optional weighing system for quick and precise measurements throughout the batching procedure. The pictured integrated turnkey system consists of a mixer, weighing scale and discharge system on mobile benches that can dock to each other and to transfer carts of the same […]

Manufacturers in the coatings industry are responding to growing competitive pressure by re-examining every step in their process, searching for opportunities for improvement. In mature business, where coating processes are well-understood and process lines have been in place for many years, the gains are likely to be small. But even small, incremental gains can add […]
Processing of pigments can be optimized by choosing an efficient pTre-mixer and tracking particle size even before the milling stage
Coating manufacturer succeeds by thinking differently about project - By David Ciglar, Rust Bullet
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF: This bulletin describes a technique for obtaining better quality pre-mixes and reducing milling time in the production of ultra- fine dispersions. DOWNLOAD TO LEARN MORE>>>>
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF: This bulletin discusses a new technology for producing stable dispersions of solids in liquid. Ultra-high shear mixers such as the Ross PreMax utilize specially engineered rotor/stators that can deliver extremely fine particle size distributions faster and more cost-effectively than conventional milling devices. DOWNLOAD TO LEARN MORE >>>>
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF: Multi-agitator systems equipped with independently controlled drives are highly efficient at producing good turnover and imparting shear to a viscous batch. In particular, the dual-shaft mixer is a versatile and cost-effective system used for processing a wide variety of viscous formulations. DOWNLOAD TO LEARN MORE>>>>
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF: In addition to maintaining basic design parameters, high speed dispersers can be specially engineered to support high volume production requirements. DOWNLOAD TO LEARN MORE>>>>
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF: Specially designed rotor/stator mixers achieve ultra-high shear conditions which often result in extremely fine dispersions of pigments and other raw materials. More than just an ordinary ‘pre-mixer’, an ultra-high shear rotor/stator device can produce results comparable to one or two passes through a media mill. DOWNLOAD TO LEARN MORE>>>>
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF: Processing of pigments can be optimized by choosing an efficient pre-mixer that can disperse agglomerates as close as possible to the desired specifications. This leads to a reduction of mill passes, often the most time-consuming step of the pigment dispersion process. In some applications, specially designed rotor/stator pre- mixers can eliminate milling entirely. […]
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF: The saw-tooth disperser and rotor/stator mixer are two of the most widely used high speed mixers yet many are unaware of the differences in their utility and operating capacities. Knowing the unique attributes of these devices is important in mixer selection and process optimization. DOWNLOAD TO LEARN MORE>>>>
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF: Consider high-speed sub- surface powder injection to eliminate floating powders and stubborn lumps in your mixing operation. Technologies such as the Ross Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) are highly efficient at maximizing yield as a result of faster and more complete solid dispersion. DOWNLOAD TO LEARN MORE>>>>
