Charles Ross & Son Co. (Ross, Hauppauge, N.Y., U.S.) a provider of U.S.-designed and manufactured mixing equipment, is offering a Trial Rental Program which offers process managers to optimize R&D projects before committing to substantial capital investment.
One such R&D mixer is the Ross Model PDM-1/2 PowerMix Planetary Disperser featuring two independently driven agitators: a high-viscosity (HV) planetary stirrer (25-254 rpm) and a 2"-diameter high-speed disperser (600-6,000 rpm). In addition to rotating on individual axes, the planetary stirrer orbits the vessel (18-175 rpm), ensuring constant turnover regardless of the product’s flow characteristics. The PowerMix can handle a wide range of applications including dry powder blends, slurries, gels and highly viscous pastes.
The bench-mounted PDM-1/2 with a ½ gallon working capacity is suitable for operation under vacuum up to 29.5"Hg and includes a hydraulic lift for raising and lowering the mix can to and from the mixing position.
Ross maintains a multi-million-dollar inventory comprised of pre-owned and new mixing equipment dedicated to the Trial Rental Program. This extensive stock of laboratory and production scale of Ross Mixers is intended to meet the diverse needs and timelines of manufacturers in virtually all the process industries. Its industrial mixers have been proven in manufacturing low- to high-viscosity dispersions within the plastics and composites industry, from foams to polymer additives to epoxies.
