New Inline System Speeds Up Powder Additions
Ross has introduced a new in-line system that dramatically improves powder induction in a liquid stream. The unique rotor/stator in the SLIM system is the first to include “Progressive Spiral Porting,” which produces high flow, high shear, and a high level of vacuum within the rotor/stator generator. This enables the system to induct powders at unprecedented rates. This results in shorter mixing cycles, improved end-product quality, and a safer working environment by eliminating “dusting” in the plant.
Powder Induction Rates - lbs/min
Alumina 90Bentonite Clay 70
Calcium Carbonate 105
Carbon Black (beaded) 65
Carboxymethlycellulose 60
Carbopol 50
Fumed Silica 20
Milk Powder 68
Starch 80
Sugar (granulated) 125
Talc 90
Titanium Dioxide 100
A portable configuration makes the In-line SLIM system especially versatile and cost-efficient. The system can be positioned alongside a mix vessel and used only during the mixing phase in which high-speed powder induction is needed. Then, the system can be wheeled away to perform the same operation on another batch-mixing system.
