Charles Ross & Son now offer VersaMix triple shaft mixers with solid/liquid injection manifold (SLIM) technology, designed for challenging mixing applications requiring efficient powder dispersion and critical homogenisation of medium to high viscosity slurries, pastes, gels, creams, and suspensions.
The VersaMix models VMC-40 pictured below were designed for full vacuum operation and include a three-wing anchor agitator with Teflon blades scraping the sidewalls and bottom surfaces of the vessel, a high shear mixer with SLIM-style rotor/stator which draws solids sub-surface for virtually instantaneous wet-out, and a high speed disperser that continues to apply shear as the batch increases in viscosity.
Fine dispersion, deagglomeration, emulsification, temperature control, and degassing are all accomplished in the mixer in a repeatable process. The vacuum cover features an explosion-proof tank light, RTD thermoprobe, CIP spray nozzles and a dedicated port for nitrogen purging.
