Blender/Dryers
Charles Ross & Son Co.

Ross vertical blender/dryers feature a slow-turning auger screw that gently lifts batch materials upward as it orbits around a conical vessel. Materials carried to the top of the batch then cascade slowly back down into regions opposite the moving auger screw. The constant exchange of materials between the heated sidewalls and center of the blender accelerates the drying process. Available in many sizes from 1 through 500 cu.ft. E-mail: mail@mixers.com.
