Charles Ross & Co says that it has completed shipment of three 1000-gallon planetary dual dispersers, reportedly the world’s largest change-can mixers of their kind. They feature a dual-post hydraulic lift that can raise and lower four sets of agitators (two pairs of helical high viscosity blades and two dual-blade high speed dispersers) into the jacketed mix can. Two 150HP explosion-proof, inverter-duty motors drive the variable speed agitators
All wetted parts, as well as the specially fabricated gearbox, are made of stainless steel 316L,while exterior surfaces are stainless steel 304, the company says. In addition to the planetary blades and dispersers, scrapers for the vessel sidewall and bottom can also be supplied for maximum temperature and mass uniformity throughout the mixing zone. The three mixers include PLC controls, a chiller, built-in vacuum pump and a custom CIP spray system for flushing the gearbox and mixer cover.
