Consider the Advantages of Mixing Under Vacuum
Many of the advantages of mixing, blending and drying under vacuum have been recognized for years. But until recently, vacuum has also been widely misunderstood. Many processors have considered vacuum essential -and cost-effective -only for the most demanding applications. Our experience in the field and in the Ross Test & Development Center has proven that the opposite is true. Vacuum can improve the performance of almost any mixing, blending or drying system.
The secret is to understand all of the functions that vacuum can perform during the mixing cycle, and to find the best techniquefor applying vacuum in your application. With the right combination of equipment and technique, vacuum can make your process line more productive and yourplant environment safer. Vacuum can usually improve the quality of your end products as well.
