  1. A Guide To Understanding And Mixing Thickeners 4/14/2008
    Rheology modifiers, commonly referred to as thickeners or viscosifiers, are ever-present in most products. The use of these additives cut across several process industries including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care, adhesives, textile, ceramics, paper, detergents, paints, inks and coatings, among others. They serve the purpose of not just altering the viscosity of the formulation but also that of providing specific functionality to the product. Submitted by Charles Ross and Son Company
  2. Mixing Emulsions Made Easy 4/12/2008
    An emulsion, made up of an aqueous and an oil phase, is a common type of delivery system used in many different industries. The virtually infinite number of combinations of emulsion systems necessitates the continuing effort to study them and the processes by which they can be prepared efficiently.

  3. Understanding Surfactants And New Methods Of Dispersing Them 3/26/2008
    Surface-active agents, or surfactants for short, are compounds that lower the surface tension of a liquid and lower the interfacial tension between two liquids. Surfactants are amphiphilic in nature, possessing both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. The unique combination of these opposing properties in the same molecule is what enables a surfactant to reduce surface and interfacial tensions. Submitted by Charles Ross and Son Company
  4. The Art Of High Shear Mixing 3/24/2008
    The high-shear rotor/stator mixer (HSM), once relegated to a relatively narrow niche of mixing applications, has become a mainstay in many applications in the chemical process industries (CPI). The ability to apply intense shear and shorten mixing cycles gives these mixers broad appeal for applications that require immiscible fluids to be formulated into emulsions, or agglomerated powders to be dispersed into a liquid medium.

  8. New Design of Double Planetary Mixer Introduced 1/10/2008
    Charles Ross and Son Company recently introduced a new model of its proven line of Double Planetary Mixers. This new design is unique in that the mix can is raised to a fixed drive assembly. The mix can is normally positioned on the floor with the drives being raised and lowered via a hydraulic lift
  9. An Overview Of ResonantAcoustic® Mixing: Mixing Solids-Loaded And Viscous Liquids 12/27/2007
    ResonantAcoustic® mixing (RAM) technology is a new approach to solving mixing and dispersion problems that is distinct and superior to either conventional impeller agitation or ultrasonic mixing. Rather than mix by inducing bulk fluid flow, like impeller agitation, ResonantAcoustic® agitation mixes by inducing microscale turbulence through the propagation of acoustic waves throughout the medium.
