Dual Shaft Mixer For High-Performance Applications
ROSS Dual Shaft Mixers are durable, versatile systems designed for precise processing of high-performance formulations across diverse rheologies, solids loading, temperatures, and pressures.
The ROSS CDA-300 Dual Shaft Mixer, shown below, is equipped with two robust agitators for versatile mixing capabilities:
- Two-Wing Anchor Agitator: Powered by a 20 HP TEFC high-efficiency, inverter-duty motor, it ensures constant batch turnover by feeding product toward the high-speed disperser, even as viscosity increases.
- High-Speed Disperser: Driven by a 60 HP TEFC high-efficiency, inverter-duty motor, its open disc blade travels at approximately 5,000 feet per minute, creating a vigorous vortex for rapid wetting of dry ingredients.
The mixer’s change-can design features an air/oil hydraulic lift, accommodating multiple stainless steel type 304 mix cans with heating/cooling jackets for precise temperature control. A 3" manually operated stainless steel flush bottom ball valve with a tri-clamp connection allows for easy discharge, and casters enable smooth movement across the production floor.
Designed for vacuum operation, the CDA-300 produces air-free products with consistent density, viscosity, composition, and dispersion quality. Its NEMA 12 control panel, featuring a 7" color touchscreen, provides user-friendly control with independent speed adjustments, load display, cycle timer, and more.
Safety is a priority, with NEMA 12 limit switches to prevent operation when the mix can is removed or the agitators are not in the mixing position. This mixer offers precision, efficiency, and repeatability, making it ideal for demanding production environments.
