The Ross X-Series in-line ultra-high shear mixer is designed for efficient high-throughput emulsification, dispersion, and homogenization. Available in both sanitary and industrial configurations, this versatile machine produces quality dispersions, suspensions, and emulsions in a variety of industries, including food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical, adhesive, and composites manufacturing.
The 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 250 °F, and an X-5 Series 9-in. diameter AL6XN stainless-steel rotor/stator that operates up to 5,700 rpm (13,430 ft/min tip speed). The X-Series mix head is a patented design made up of concentric rows of intermeshing teeth—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.
