250 tons of PVC powder
New Batch Dilution System Offered
Ross SysCon, has announced the
completion of a special Batch Dilution System.
The
system was designed to combine powder, a solvent and de-ionized
water and to maintain a minimum temperature of 80 degrees C during
the mix cycle. A Ross High Shear Rotor Stator Mixer including the
unique SLIM (solid liquid introduction manifold) was used to
introduce the difficult to wet powders to the system.
The entire system was designed so
that it is portable and can be moved within the clients facility.
All wetted parts of the system are of stainless steel and are
polished to enable easy cleaning when it is required. The control
panel is set up so that it can be operated either manually or
automatically.
Ross equipment is the first choice
for mixers, blenders, dryers and dispersion equipment. The company
has a world class reputation for innovative engineering, superb
construction and fast delivery. Ross equipment is manufactured on
five continents. In the USA alone, we operate five plants and a

Mr. Harris needs to calculate
flowrate from gate valve:
Does anyone know of a good way to
predict the free-fall flowrate that can be expected when opening a
slide gate valve at the base of a filled hopper?
I am expecting something that will
relate particle size, bulk density and or particle density, etc. (Click
here to post a reply)
I have an application where my
customer would like to eliminated the amount of dusting that occurs
when they unload dry bulk powder out of the bottom of a gravity
discharge rail car into a hopper which unloads into silos.
The dusting occurs when the material
falls from the railcar hopper which is about 2 feet above the
hopper. The customer does not want to spend a lot of money on
this so the use of a bootlift is out of the question. We were
thinking of a curtain of such that can be hooked to the discharge of
the railcar and lay over the hopper.
If anyone knows of such a thing or
knows a company that could provide this, please email me. (Click
