Industrial Mixing Equipment
High Speed Dispersers
The Ross High Speed Disperser is built with all of the features and versatility required to produce a wide variety of products. This age old design has been refined and updated for longer life, improved performance and reduced maintenance costs.
High Speed Dispersers are perfect for viscous dispersions. High Speed Dispersers are most often used for chemical, paint, ink and specialty coatings applications. When used in conjunction with Multi-Shaft Mixers, they can be used for products up to several hundred thousand centipoise.
Dispersers are available from bench top sizes to very large production sizes capable of dispersing several thousand gallons at a time.
Design Options
High Speed Disperser
The cost-effective saw-tooth disperser is a standard workhorse in the production of chemicals, polymers, composites, inks, paints, adhesives, food products and a variety of other applications.
High Viscosity Disperser
High-Viscosity Dispersers, also known as Bow-Tie Mixers are low shear devices used for paste-like substances and other dense and/or viscous applications. In lieu of a Bow-Tie, a Paddle Blade Agitator can be supplied for handling a wider range of viscosities.

Recommended Mixing Equipment for Pigment Dispersions
Pigment dispersions are typically prepared in a two-step process: (1) powder wet-out in a batching tank and (2) one or more passes through a mill to achieve the desired fineness of grind.
The costly and time-consuming milling step is often a production bottleneck which in the past has forced manufacturers to add more milling equipment to handle multiple passes or simply keep up with volume demands.
Turning at tips speeds up to around 5,000 fpm, the saw-tooth blade of the High Speed Disperser produces a deep vortex on the liquid surface into which dry powder ingredients are added. At this stage, large and loose agglomerates are generally disintegrated by the High Speed Disperser.
