Double Planetary Mixer

The Ross double planetary mixer is ideal for single-pot mixing and deaeration of viscous formulations such as thick pastes, putties, gels, and other semi-solid products. Equipped with the patented HV (high viscosity) blades, the double planetary mixer can process highly filled and high-density applications up to six million centipoise in viscosity. Pictured is a Model DPM-200 with a working capacity of 50 to 200 gal. This heavy-duty mixer features a specially fabricated high-precision gearbox enabling quiet operation, as well as reduced wear and tear. For easy clean-up, the stainless steel wetted surfaces are 150-grit finish and electropolished. Unlike horizontal kneaders also designed for high-viscosity mixing, the double planetary mixer has no packing glands or bearings submerged in the product zone. To further minimize contamination and cleaning, a dust shield prevents product dust and splash from getting into the gearbox.
