Pictured is a Ross Model 42N-36S Sanitary Ribbon Blender with a 36-cu.ft. maximum working capacity. Driven by a 25HP inverter-duty gearmotor, the precisely fabricated double ribbon agitator turns to up to 40 rpm within the U-shaped trough, producing a balanced lateral and radial movement of batch materials. Wetted parts are stainless steel 316 polished to 150-grit for ease of cleaning. The blender cover includes safety grating and a custom bag dump station. A 150-psig ASME code stamped dimpled stainless steel jacket is supplied around the trough for heating/cooling. Multiple spray bars and nozzles deliver liquid raw materials and CIP solution. A NEMA 4X Operator Control Panel is pre-wired to the blender and factory tested.
