Hauppauge, NY (Ross release) — ROSS has completed another heavy-duty dual-shaft mixer model FDA-600 designed for processing emulsions, dispersions, and suspensions. Engineered for wide-ranging densities and viscosities up to several hundred thousand centipoise, ROSS dual-shaft mixers cater to multiple industries including chemicals, composites, batteries, adhesives, and coatings.
The pictured FDA-600 has a 600-gallon working capacity, is capable of vacuum operation up to 29.5 inches Hg, is constructed in stainless steel type 304, and features two independently driven top-entering agitators. The first is a two-wing anchor agitator powered by a 30-HP motor, designed to motivate product from the sidewalls and vessel bottom at a constant rate, promoting continual batch turnover. The second agitator is a high-speed disperser driven by a 150-HP motor and equipped with a 15-inch-diameter sawtooth blade mounted on a vertically adjustable hub, which can accommodate different batch sizes.
The mix vessel incorporates a dished bottom, a 3-inch flush tank ball valve and legs providing 12 inches of clearance beneath the discharge outlet. A stainless-steel dimple jacket on the sidewall is provided for heating/cooling media up to 50 PSIG at 250°F. The mixer cover includes an 18-inch charge port and an 8-inch dust collection flange, along with additional nozzles for liquid addition and vacuum connection.
User-friendly touch screen controls include agitator speed management, cycle timer, temperature and vacuum displays, and an emergency stop push button, all located in a NEMA 12 panel. The controls package, built by ROSS Systems & Controls, is rigorously tested with the mixer prior to shipment, ensuring fast and seamless startup.
