USED ROSS INDUSTRIES HSM-430SC

Manufacturer Information
Manufacturer: Charles Ross & Son Company
Model: HSM-430SC
Equipment Type: Inline High Shear Mixer
Configuration: SLIM (Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold) System
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ROSS SLIM system?
SLIM stands for Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold, a patented powder induction system that introduces powders directly into the high shear mixing zone.

What are the benefits of SLIM technology?
SLIM technology reduces mixing time, improves powder wet-out, minimizes dusting, eliminates agglomerates, and enhances product consistency.

What type of mixer is the HSM-430SC?
It is an inline high shear rotor/stator mixer designed for continuous or recirculating processing applications.

What size are the process connections?
The mixer features a 3-inch liquid inlet, 2.5-inch powder inlet, and 3-inch discharge outlet.

What horsepower motor is installed?
The unit is equipped with a 30 HP explosion-proof motor.

What is the motor speed?
The motor operates at approximately 1,760 RPM.

Why is an explosion-proof motor beneficial?
Explosion-proof motors are designed for operation in hazardous environments where combustible dusts, vapors, or solvents may be present.

What industries commonly use inline high shear mixers?
Food processing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care, coatings, adhesives, chemicals, and specialty manufacturing industries frequently use high shear mixers.

Can the mixer handle difficult powders?
Yes, the SLIM technology is specifically designed for rapid incorporation and dispersion of difficult-to-wet powders.

What is the function of the rotor/stator assembly?
The rotor/stator generates intense mechanical shear forces that rapidly disperse, homogenize, emulsify, and hydrate ingredients.

Can Aaron Equipment assist with shipping and logistics?
Yes, Aaron Equipment can coordinate inspections, rigging, loading, transportation, export documentation, and worldwide logistics services.

Does Aaron Equipment buy and sell used mixing equipment?
Yes, Aaron Equipment actively purchases and sells used ROSS mixers, high shear mixers, blenders, homogenizers, reactors, process systems, and complete manufacturing facilities worldwide.
