ROSS Mixers, a provider of U.S.-designed and manufactured mixing equipment, offers a trial rental program that offers process managers a powerful tool for optimizing R&D projects before committing to substantial capital investment.
One such R&D mixer is the ROSS model PDM-1/2 PowerMix planetary disperser featuring two independently-driven agitators: a high-viscosity “HV” planetary stirrer (25-254 rpm) and a 2-inch diameter high-speed disperser (600-6,000 rpm). In addition to rotating on individual axes, the planetary stirrer orbits the vessel (18-175 rpm), ensuring constant turnover regardless of the product’s flow characteristics. The PowerMix can handle a wide range of applications including dry powder blends, slurries, gels, and highly viscous pastes.
