Customizable ROSS Ribbon Blenders deliver reliable mixing of food, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, personal care products, in addition to chemicals, plastics, building materials and agricultural products. The pictured Model 42N-10 with a maximum working capacity of 10 cubic feet (13 cubic feet full holding) is rated for bulk densities up to approximately 80 lb/ft³ and specially designed for ergonomic and efficient material handling. It includes an integrated bag dump station customized for 50-lb bags. Outfitted with angled walls and a fully welded safety grate, the workstation directs material into the trough while interlocked limit switches ensure operator protection.

Constructed with stainless steel type 316 product contact parts polished to 150-grit interior finish, the 42N-10 is easy to clean and sanitize. The mixing trough is fitted with a two-piece hinged cover, quick-release clamps and FDA-compliant silicone gasket for dust-tight operation.

The solid double ribbon agitator is direct-driven up to 56 rpm by a 7.5 HP TEFC inverter-duty motor through a right-angle reducer. The stainless steel shaft includes heavy-duty ribbon support arms, while two-piece stuffing boxes with air-purged lantern rings and replaceable Teflon® packing provide effective sealing. A pneumatically operated 6" dust-tight knife gate valve with tri-clamp outlet adaptor enables controlled discharge and simple cleaning.

Featuring stainless steel legs on casters, the blender is conveniently mobile with a push/pull handle and an extended base for stability. Operators can readily start/stop the blender, adjust speed, switch between forward and reverse direction, and monitor motor load from a NEMA 4X variable frequency drive that is mounted and wired to the machine.
