A WHITE PAPER PREPARED BY CHARLES ROSS & SON COMPANY
The manufacturing landscape is evolving rapidly, marked by ever-increasing competition and consumer demands, unpredictable supply chain disruptions, and the persistent challenge of employee turnover. In this dynamic environment, optimizing processes and tightening production efficiency has become a top priority for manufacturers across the process industries. This article presents five possible strategies that manufacturers can begin to adopt.
Choose the right mixer: Selecting the correct mixer type (multi-shaft, planetary, hybrid, etc.) is critical for handling different viscosities, improving product quality, and reducing mixing time and energy use.
Optimize batch size: Scaling batch sizes strategically or using semi-continuous mixing with interchangeable vessels can improve efficiency, reduce labor, and maximize space.
Leverage smart controls: Advanced mixer controls like Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and PLC-based systems enhance energy efficiency, ensure consistent quality, and simplify operations.
Streamline raw material additions: Inline powder induction systems (e.g., ROSS SLIM) accelerate dispersion, minimize dust/agglomerates, and improve operator safety.
Integrate processes: One-pot or consolidated mixing systems lower energy consumption, speed up production, simplify cleaning, and reduce operational costs
