  1. Mixing Applications In Selected Green Technologies 8/3/2011
    As major developments continue to advance in the areas of renewable energy, green construction, green chemistry and many other markets, new mixing applications and processing challenges arise. The aim of this paper is to provide practical information on certain mixing requirements currently seen within selected green industries and how these production needs are being met through the efficient use of specialty mixing equipment.
  2. Technical Brief: Hybrid Planetary Mixers Produce High Viscosity Mixtures With Ultra-Fine Dispersion Quality 4/15/2011

    Hybrid planetary mixers are utilized for creating fine dispersions in viscous mixtures, typically within the viscosity range of 100,000 to 2 million cP. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  4. Technical Brief: Mixing High Solids Formulations 4/15/2011

    Mixer selection for high solids formulations depends on viscosity rather than percent solids. Regardless of solids concentration, low-viscosity mixtures can be prepared in single-shaft rotor/stator mixers or high-speed dispersers. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  5. Select A Powder Induction Mixer That Can Serve Multiple Mix Tanks Of Virtually Any Size 4/5/2011

    An inline rotor/stator mixer equipped for powder induction offers flexibility, capability and portability to serve multiple mix vessels of virtually any size. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  6. Tech Brief: Select A Powder Induction Mixer That Can Serve Multiple Mix Tanks Of Virtually Any Size 4/5/2011

    An inline rotor/stator mixer equipped for powder induction offers flexibility, capability, and portability to serve multiple mix vessels of virtually any size. Its straightforward operation and convenience further maximize equipment utility while simplifying material handling. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  7. Ribbon Blenders Are Ideal For Coating And Mixing Processes 4/5/2011

    Solid-solid mixing sometimes involves powders that need to be uniformly coated with smaller particles of a different component. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  8. Tech Brief: Ribbon Blenders Are Ideal For Coating And Mixing Processes 4/5/2011

    In certain industries, mixing of solid materials is required not only to blend different components, but also to intimately coat a minor or trace ingredient onto the rest of the other particles in the batch. To maximize the functionality of the minor ingredient, individual particles of the bulk material have to be evenly coated. By Charles Ross and Son Company

  9. Tech Brief: Electronic Variable Speed Promotes Processing Flexibility In Ribbon Blenders - From Soft Start To Discharge 4/5/2011

    Over the years, many ribbon blenders were built without any provision for starting at slow speed. Unfortunately, a dead load start presents many disadvantages, all of which increase costs. The buyer must choose between using an over-sized drive train that is capable of delivering the peak horsepower needed to get the batch moving or a lower torque drive train that is appropriate for powering the blender once it is running but overloaded when starting.

  10. Electronic Variable Speed Promotes Processing Flexibility In Ribbon Blenders - From Soft Start To Discharge 4/5/2011

    Variable frequency drives enable ‘soft start’ of ribbon blenders, an essential feature that protects the system against a spike in start-up torque. By Charles Ross and Son Company
