Having served these traditional industries for more than a century, ROSS has the expertise to effectively incorporate any active ingredient in a full application viscosity range. Proper homogenization is key to obtaining uniform potency.

ROSS High Shear Mixers are routinely used for preparing emulsions and solutions containing hash oil, CBD, THC and other cannabinoids. For small batches and R&D purposes, our HSM-100LSK-I and HSM-100LCI-T are very popular laboratory machines. In mass production settings, our customers rely on ROSS Inline High Shear Mixers for consistent results and low-maintenance operation.

Our High Speed Dispersers are utilized to maximize cannabinoid extraction from plant trimmings soaked in solvent.

ROSS Multi-Shaft Mixers are ideal for batching cannabis topicals such as lotions, creams, balms, gels and rubs. For higher viscosity formulations, ROSS Double Planetary Mixers and PowerMix Planetary Dispersers get the job done effortlessly.

Our Ribbon Blenders perform high-throughput production of pre-mixes and intermediates for baked goods, candy, snacks, beverages, protein powders and other supplements. Optional spray bars facilitate process-integral CBD oil infusions or final product coating.

Gearing up for imminent overall legalization, many cannabis producers are looking to optimize and scale up in order to meet the needs of a bourgeoning public demand. Call ROSS today to speak with a mixing expert and take your business to a new high.

  • Recommended Mixing Equipment for Sunscreen and Sun Tan Lotions

    Mixing is a critical step in the production of sunscreen, largely because proper dispersion of the active ingredients and additives directly impacts the end product's efficacy and stability. This bulletin describes several high shear mixing technologies utilized in the manufacture of sunscreen and sun tan lotions. Mixer selection is based on a number of factors, primarily viscosity profile and shear input.

  • Recommended Mixing Equipment for Cosmetic Emulsions

    The most commonly used carrier systems of cosmetic ingredients, emulsions impart the desired consistency and texture to lotions, creams, make-up, hair conditioners and other products. Proper mixing is critical in the production of stable quality emulsions. By investing in a high-throughput mixing strategy that handles a wide range of viscosities and shear requirements, cosmetic manufacturers can gain increased flexibility to respond to ever-changing consumer tastes and market trends.

  • High Shear Mixing and Single-Pass Emulsification

    Consider an ultra-high shear mixer for your single-pass emulsification requirements. Advantages include simple operation, high throughput rates, consistent product quality, easy cleaning procedure and low maintenance.
