What does a ROSS Planetary Dual Disperser do?
The ROSS Planetary Dual Disperser combines two planetary blades and two high speed dispersion blades. The hybrid design imparts a combination of high and low speed agitation for mixtures that start out very fluid and eventually thicken up throughout the course of the batching process. This mixer easily handles wet formulations from water-like viscosity to around 2 million cP, while also capable of blending dry powders.
How does a ROSS Planetary Dual Disperser work?
The ROSS Planetary Dual Disperser is a robust system where two planetary stirrers and two dispersers rotate on their own axes while revolving around a central axis. The planetary stirrers continuously sweep material near the vessel walls and bottom, carrying them toward the saw-tooth blades. Solid additions can be made in larger quantities and shorter intervals. Agglomerates are disintegrated faster and turnover is extremely efficient even if the material is particularly dense or sticky.
Scalability - The planetary stirrers and dispersers are independently driven by two inverter-duty motors, allowing users to tailor speeds to the process at hand. Sizes range from 2 to 500 gallons. A variety of options are offered such as vacuum/pressure design, jacketed vessels, sidewall and bottom scrapers, sanitary finish, explosion-proof configuration and more.
Efficiency - The change can design enables semi-continuous operation, which can significantly increase production. While one vessel is being wheeled away for remote discharge and cleaning, another can be wheeled into position under the mixer to begin the next batch right away.
