Condition: Used

Description

Available for sale is a used ROSS Model HSM-430SC Inline High Shear Mixer equipped with the company's patented SLIM (Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold) technology for rapid powder induction, dispersion, and mixing. Designed for continuous and recirculating processing applications, the SLIM system introduces powders directly into the high shear rotor/stator zone, eliminating agglomerates and significantly reducing mixing times.

The process liquid enters through the 3-inch inlet and immediately encounters incoming powders at the rotor/stator assembly where intense shear forces create rapid wet-out, dispersion, and homogenization. The finished mixture is discharged through a 3-inch outlet at high velocity, producing consistent and repeatable product quality.

Powered by a 30 HP explosion-proof motor, this mixer is ideal for food processing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, coatings, adhesives, personal care products, and industrial manufacturing applications requiring efficient powder incorporation and high shear mixing performance.
