What does the ROSS SLIM Technology do? The ROSS Solid/Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) is a proprietary induction system that introduces raw powders such as fumed silica, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, xanthan gum, thixotropic agents, and pigments into the liquid phase right in the high shear zone, promoting instant wet-out. As a result, high-quality dispersions, suspensions, and emulsions can be created in significantly less time compared to traditional methods of adding powders on top of an agitated batch or using an eductor. How does the ROSS SLIM Technology work? The SLIM rotor/stator generates an intense vacuum in the high shear zone and sucks in powders into a fluid stream (inline) or sub-surface (batch). Since solids and liquids are combined at the exact point where intense mixing takes place, the SLIM is capable of handling extraordinarily large volumes of solids without clogging or agglomerates. Design - The ROSS SLIM is available in batch or inline configuration. It not only eliminates typical production setbacks by accelerating the mixing process, but also enables a cleaner and more operator-friendly method of raw material addition, minimizing dusting in the plant atmosphere. Flexibility – 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.
