ROSS, which manufactures inline high shear mixers for usage in a range of dispersion, emulsification, and homogenization applications, has launched portable explosion-proof models.
The new models can be supplied with a NEMA 7/9 operator station pre-wired and mounted to the mobile mixer cart. Controls can be customized to include a viewing window for process variables and intrinsically safe thermocouple (attached to the motor’s internal thermal switch). Kalrez elastomers make the rotor/stator mixer suitable for use in extreme-duty processes with chemically aggressive fluids, ROSS says.
All stainless steel construction, sanitary tri-clamp connections, 3A stamp, double mechanical seal, washdown motor, and other options are also available.

AkzoNobel Powder Coatings has developed a new web application 3D colour visualization tool within its Interpon webshop to help customers better understand how a powder coating’s colour, texture and finish that look good in theory, will actually appear in reality.
The tool provides instant access to thousands of colours in the Interpon range. Using a 360-degree dynamic camera and simulated lighting, the customer is given a true-to-life image of how the colour performs to a degree of accuracy and realism not possible before in a virtual environment.
Rather than the image being ‘flat’, the customer can orientate the ‘virtual’ panel to see how the light reflects and the colour looks from different angles. Read More
