Designed for products that require uniformity in a dispersion or emulsion, the Ross X-Series ultra-high shear inline mixer is used in processes where narrow particle size distributions are desired within a single pass. The mixer’s generator consists of a stator with concentric rows of teeth and a matching rotor turning at tip speeds over 11,000 ft./min. Process fluid enters the center of the generator and accelerates outward through channels in the intermeshing teeth of the rotor/stator, subjecting the product to intense mechanical and hydraulic shear. The rotor/stator gap can be controlled through an external shimming arrangement for fine-tuning shear input. The wetted parts are stainless steel type 316 polished to a 150-grit finish. The standard mix chamber is designed for 150psig internal pressure at 250˚F. Rotor diameters are offered in 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 in. for different throughput requirements.

The lingering effects of the pandemic on food processors were felt throughout 2021, with labor issues, increased automation, ingredient shortages, the need for additional energy efficiencies and technologies to help streamline operations, and more, all having an impact.

Food and beverage companies consistently develop new products, but current speed-to-market expectations have made efficiency a crucial factor in putting those new products into the hands of customers ahead of the competition.
