Ross, a manufacturer of industrial mixing, blending, drying and dispersion equipment since 1842, unveils its custom-designed mixing/melting and holding tank system.
Merging its ability to wholly engineer and customize a product from the ground up, the mixing/melting and holding tank system is used to produce highly potent and reactive materials at 350°F and up to 10 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) internal pressure.
The system includes a pressure-rated sealed enclosure with an operator-friendly safety glovebox and two mixers each equipped with a two-wing anchor agitator, Teflon scrapers and jacketed six-gallon vessel. One functions as a mixer/melter connected to a vacuum powder loading system; the other functions as a holding tank which gravity feeds the finished product to a downstream coating machine.
A specially-designed elevator system enables the mixers to be lowered to a maintenance position and raised to an operating height, which allows for gravity feed from the melter to the holding tank. A hot oil heater and chilled water cooler were supplied as well.
