PowerMix Charles Ross & Son Co. now offers its PowerMix Planetary dispersers with new special features that were recently developed to meet a customer's requirements. The mixers are suited for dispersing powders and applying high shear to viscous materials. They feature two independently driven agitators — a high-speed sawtooth disperser and a low-speed planetary disperser. Shown is a Model PDM-40 PowerMix with a working capacity of 40 gallons.
What's new? Numerous features. A sidewall scraper arm and bottom scraper attached to the planetary stirrer help the material to be evenly heated or cooled by the jacketed mixing vessel. The mixer includes a built-in liquid ring vacuum pump, a cover with a foam level sensor and a hot-water temperature-control unit. A PLC system mounted on the mixer can create and store recipes based on agitator speeds, time, temperature and vacuum levels. It has a 10-inch color touch-screen HMI.
Benefits Batch-to-batch consistency with no risk of localized overheating.
