Double Planetary Mixer Performs Multiple Functions

The Ross double planetary mixer can be used for mixing, granulation, and vacuum drying. With the sanitary DPM-40 double planetary mixer, powders and granules are blended by two rectangular planetary blades that rotate on their own axes, while orbiting the mixing zone on a common axis. Atomizing spray nozzles enable the controlled addition of liquid raw materials, as the mixing blades continuously ensure uniform composition and temperature throughout the batch. Optional features include flush discharge plugs or valves, covers for use with the portable mix vessels during transport, and controls integrating the mixer with auxiliary equipment, such as vacuum pumps, heating/cooling units, and load cells.
