SLIM technology is ideal for the rapid introduction of difficult to wet solids. The newest generation of powder injection systems - the Batch or Inline Solid-Liquid Injection Manifold, or “SLIM,” combines the mixing of powders and liquids simultaneously by injecting powders directly into a specially engineered high-shear rotor/stator mixer, where the powder is immediately dispersed into the liquid stream. In most applications, these new solid/liquid injection systems shorten mixing cycles dramatically.

Powders like fumed silica, titanium dioxide, gums and thickeners are difficult to wet out. Even with a strong vortex in an open vessel, they resist wetting out, and often float on the surface for hours. Our new SLIM technology enables you to wet out powders almost instantly. The SLIM system sucks solids directly into the high shear rotor-stator where they are immediately wetted out and dispersed into the liquid.

The rotor/stator generates an intense vacuum and sucks in powders and liquids into the rotor-stator area. A feed tube adjacent to the back of the rotor provides a path to inject solids directly into the stream. The solids are combined and mixed into the flowing stream at the same point, the mixer is capable of handling extraordinarily large volumes of solids without clogging .

A few examples of typical powders being inducted include:
Calcium Carbonate
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)
Carbopol
Fumed Silica
Starch
TIO2
Sugar

All Ross mixers & blenders are available with standard or special control systems and each can be customized to meet your special requirements. A visit to our test & development center can be very helpful and will make your selection process easier. You can test equipment and techniques using your own raw materials, simulating conditions as close to your actual process as possible.

It is essential that process engineers are updated regularly on the different mixing technologies that are available. Many of our mixers and blenders uses and functions overlap such that two or more types of mixing systems can actually be successfully used for the same application.

A visit to our test & development center will be very helpful and will make your selection process easier. You can test a variety of equipment and techniques using your own raw materials, simulating conditions as close to your actual process as possible.

We also offer quantitative measurement as a critical step in evaluation of the mixing trials . With advanced laser diffraction particle size analyzers and other specialized instruments, Ross offers its customers excellent accuracy in assessing test results. Especially when the process requires sub-micron emulsification or dispersion, this degree of accuracy ensures that customers are buying the best possible equipment.
