"Optimize & Speed Up Powder Wetting - Shorten Cycle Times"

A WHITE PAPER PREPARED BY CHARLES ROSS & SON COMPANY

Solids like fumed silica, calcium carbonate, gums and thickeners are difficult to wet out and often stubbornly float on the surface of a liquid during the mixing process. The newest generation of powder inductor/mixers − called the In-line Solid/Liquid Injection Manifold, or “SLIM,” combines the mixing of powders and liquids simultaneously.

• The process of specifying a powder induction system for your application is best accomplished working closely with your mixer manufacturer, in a testing laboratory.
• Identify the characteristics of your raw ingredient streams as well as the final product (the result of mixing liquid and powder).
• In general, higher horsepower and larger rotor sizes will produce greater powder flow. Working with your mixer manufacturer, choose the configuration that balances horsepower, rotor diameter and throughput to meet your production requirements.
• Achieving optimal performance relies highly on the velocity of the fluid as it passes through the inductor/mixer.
• Utilizing a system like the ROSS SLIM for lightweight powders often eliminates dust-generating transfer steps.
