Engineered for applications that require gentle yet thorough mixing, Charles Ross & Son Co. (Ross Mixers, Hauppauge, N.Y., U.S.) V-cone blenders are used across numerous industry sectors including food, composites and coatings where consistency is essential. These blenders rotate a V-shaped vessel along its horizontal axis, creating a cascading action that continuously exposes and redistributes materials. This low-impact tumbling motion is good for friable ingredients, trace components or materials with significant differences in particle size and density.

Constructed with stainless steel product contact surfaces, the purpose-built Ross Model VCB-10 features a 10-ft³ working capacity and supports a maximum bulk density rating of 125 lb/ft^³. Designs for higher densities are available. The vessel rotation is powered by a 7.5-hp TEFC motor that can achieve speeds up to approximately 20 rpm. A safety rail assembly —  consisting of a two-section front gate equipped with both a limit switch and safety interlock switches, as well as a fixed rear guard rail — prevents unintended contact with the blender’s rotating assembly. A manually operated 8" stainless steel type 304 dust-tight butterfly valve provides efficient discharge, with support legs providing a 54" clearance beneath the valve to the floor.

The Nema 12 control panel includes a 4" color touch screen interface for viewing and controlling blender operations, a cycle timer, jog function and an emergency stop push button. The control system is pre-mounted and wired to the blender for streamlined installation and startup.
