CHARLES ROSS & SON CO.: Reverse-Lift Double-Planetary Mixers with CIP and Purged Controls
A reverse lift in the double-planetary mixer reportedly facilitates improved rigidity and more uniform blade-to-vessel clearances without relying on the floor to be completely level.
Charles Ross & Son Co. recently announced that its double-planetary mixer is available in a reverse-lift design that raises the vessel to the mixing position, rather than lowering the agitator assembly. A reverse lift reportedly facilitates improved rigidity and more uniform blade-to-vessel clearances without relying on the floor to be completely level.
Two interchangeable mixing vessels are supplied with each machine to form a semi-continuous mixing operation. Double-planetary mixers can process applications that are wet (pastes and slurries) and dry (granulations and powder blends), including semi-solids (gels and dough-like materials).
