The ROSS X-Series Inline Ultra-High Shear Mixer is designed for emulsification, dispersion, and homogenization. Available in both sanitary and industrial configurations, this versatile machine produces quality dispersions, suspensions and emulsions in various industries, including food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical, adhesive and composites manufacturing.
ROSS’ Model HSM-409XSHD-125 is a CIP-capable sanitary mixer featuring a type 316 stainless steel mixing chamber, a 150-psig jacket for cooling and heating up to 250F, and an X-5 Series 9” diameter AL6XN stainless steel rotor/stator that operates up to 5700 rpm (13,430 feet/min tip speed).
The X-Series mix head is a patented design made up of concentric rows of intermeshing teeth– the product enters at the middle of the stator and travels outward through the radial channels. Every pass through the rotor/stator exposes the product to tremendous shear due to the combination of very tight tolerances and extremely high tip speeds. Compared to traditional colloid mills, the X-Series routinely achieves a higher reduction in droplet or agglomerate size.

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
