Multi-Agitator Mixing System
Operators can monitor key parameters in real-time through a 7-in. color touch screen interface.
Ross has engineered a customized VM-450-gal VersaMix that features three independently-driven agitators, including a two-wing center-mounted agitator with contoured bottom and Teflon scrapers to efficiently motivate viscous product throughout the mixing zone, a long helical flight agitator to produce better top-to-bottom mixing and a dual propeller agitator for low shear, high flow mixing.

The tank of the VersaMix is fabricated from durable 304 stainless steel, designed for vacuum operation and internal pressures of up to 50 psi. For efficient discharge, a two-way, flush tank ball valve has been integrated, while a 14-in. manway provides access for ingredient additions and cleaning operations.
Through a 7-in. color touch screen interface, operators can monitor key parameters in real-time.
