Ross (Port St. Lucie, FL) introduced custom blending systems that incorporate ergonomic material handling accessories, including bag dump workstations, so an operator can safely empty bags of powder through a bar grating while a contiguous vibrating tray assembly catches foreign debris and off-spec ingredients.
The custom cover is available on all Ribbon Blenders. Model 42N-18SS utilizes safety-limit switches that prevent operation of the agitator if any access ports are open or if the grating is removed. All surfaces are stainless steel, polished to 150-grit sanitary finish, and the blender features a sanitary 4-inch spherical disc discharge valve with pneumatic actuator. Ross supplied UL-listed operator controls in a NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure with 3R fan shrouds, variable frequency drive, digital speed and amperage readouts, dial-type potentiometer, cycle timer, and E-Stop.
