Designed for processing high viscosity dispersions and suspensions, the Ross line of dual-shaft mixers are versatile systems used in many industries. The Ross FDA-1500 has a maximum working capacity of 1,500 gallons and features a dish-bottom stainless steel mix vessel with a 50-psig dimpled heating/cooling jacket. The dome-style cover includes multiple charging ports as well as a hinged manway providing access for major ingredient additions and cleaning. This mixer is capable of operation under vacuum up to 29.5” Hg.
The mixer’s independently-driven agitators – a 40-hp two-wing anchor and a 150-hp high speed disperser – are supported from a heavy-duty agitator bridge. Agitator shafts are sealed via Teflon lip seals with Viton elastomers. The disperser shaft runs up to 695 rpm and is equipped with two 20” diameter sawtooth blades. The lower blade is stationary, while the upper blade is attached by means of an adjustable hub.
