Compounding and filling vessels
Charles Ross & Son Co. introduces a new line of compounding and filling vessels with a magnetically-coupled turbine agitator for sanitary applications. The 60-liter vessel (shown) features an aseptic magnetic mixer designed to stir a low-viscosity suspension as it is being discharged under pressure of nitrogen into its final container. The magnetically-coupled turbine floats during operation at up to 490 rpm. The unit is optimized for cleaning and sterilization, with no mechanical seals or stuffing boxes to pose contamination risks. In between batches, a clean-in-place (CIP) tube and spray ball assembly lower into the vessel. Both the vessel and jacket are ASME Code-stamped and board-certified. All wetted parts are stainless steel 316L. The vessel can be easily wheeled from one location to another using swivel casters and Food and Drug Administration-compliant antimicrobial wheels with brakes.
