Mixer developed to handle highly viscous materials

An improved 500 gallon Double Planetary Mixer has been introduced by equipment manufacturer Charles Ross & Son Company. High viscosity (HV) mixing blades enable the mixer to blend viscous materials up to 8,000,000 centipoise.

Most of the heavy-duty Double Planetary Mixers are used for non-flowing materials that require deaeration to insure an air free product before packaging. The stainless steel mixer features full vacuum operation, a jacketed mix vessel for heating or cooling, a dual post air/oil hydraulic lift and a mix vessel on caster wheels.

The mixer is available in capacities ranging from 0.473 litres (1 pint) to 2838.75 litres (750 gallons).
