Ross Ships 1000-Gallon Planetary Dual Dispersers

Ross announces the completion of three 1000-gal planetary dual dispersers. A dual-post hydraulic lift raises and lowers four sets of agitators – two pairs of helical high-viscosity blades and two dual-blade high speed dispersers – into the jacketed mix can. Two 150-hp explosion-proof, inverter-duty motors drive the variable speed agitators. The planetary dual disperser’s wide shear range and robust processing capability makes it ideal for challenging viscous dispersions up to several million centipoise.

All wetted parts, as well as the specially fabricated gearbox, are 316L stainless steel; exterior surfaces are stainless steel 304. In addition to the planetary blades and dispersers, scrapers for the vessel sidewall and bottom are also supplied for maximum temperature and mass uniformity throughout the mixing zone. All three mixers each include PLC controls, a chiller, built-in vacuum pump, and a custom CIP spray system for flushing the gearbox and mixer cover.
