Refinishing is about more than just making a car look new again—it’s also a matter of safety. The look is all the more important today as self-driving vehicles drive demand for radar-compliant paint.
As production lines and manufacturing plants have to keep pace with widening demand, companies are in the market for bigger, better equipment, and more manufacturing space. This article covers Chem-Pak’s switch to ROSS mixers to allow them to process larger batches and incorporate powder ingredients more efficiently.
The technologies discussed in this article promote significant efficiency gains, production time and cost reductions, agglomerate prevention, more efficient raw material utilization additive savings, biocide reduction, and simplified cleaning, among other benefits.
The Ross Batch High Shear Mixer Model HSM-130 is driven by a 30-hp motor and supplied with an air/oil hydraulic lift for easy positioning and access to the mixing head.
Consideration of not only a formulation, but also of the multitude of interactions between components is important when determining the proper dispersion equipment for the task.
This new Discharge System with electronic pressure control is used in conjunction with Ross planetary mixers and multishaft mixers designed for processing high-viscosity applications.
The 2000-gallon Triple-Shaft Mixer features a helical three-wing anchor agitator, a high-speed saw-tooth disperser blade and a high-shear rotor/stator emulsifier.
Understanding of the basic chemical engineering theory behind the design of heat exchangers and understanding the processes they are used for is key to their optimization.
