Triple shaft mixers for hygienic processes
Engineering360 News Desk | July 08, 2021Triple shaft mixers from Ross are easily adapted to suit a variety of challenging viscous applications requiring hygienic and sanitary handling. Powder wet-out and dispersion, temperature control, emulsification, homogenization and degassing are accomplished all in one vessel to produce creams, gels and pastes in a highly repeatable and clean mixing process.
The triple shaft design extends the operating range by adding either a high shear rotor-stator mixer or a

Featuring electropolished and passivated product contact surfaces, the VersaMix is designed for full vacuum operation as well as internal pressure up to 5 psig to accommodate nitrogen blanketing. This model has an ASME-stamped mixing vessel supplied with a matching platen-style discharge system. CE-marked motors and ATEX-rated operator panels are suitable for use in a Zone 1 classified area. These features are available across the entire suite of VersaMix sizes ranging from 1 gallon to 500 gallons. Larger models in a fixed-tank configuration are available as well.
