Charles Ross & Son Co. introduced a new multi-purpose laboratory mixer, the HSM-100LCI-T. Made of Type 316 stainless steel wetter parts polished to a 150-grit finish, the table-top unit features a dust- and fluid-spray-resistant enclosure, color touch-screen controls that display speed, percent of load, batch time and temperature, and an electronic push-button lift. It also comes with interchangeable mixing attachments including batch and inline rotor/stator sets as well as various sizes of disperser blades and propellers. Capable of multiple mixing tasks including powder wet-out and dispersion, deagglomeration/particle size reduction, solubilization, emulsification and homogenization, the HSM-100LCI-T is powered by a 1-horsepower drive, 115-volt, single-phase, 20-ampere motor that allows it to operate at speeds between 500 and 10,000 rotations a minute.
