Automated Discharge Systems

A Ross Discharge System can eliminate wasted hours scraping heavy or sticky materials from a mix vessel. With push-button simplicity, the system can automatically discharge a 1000-gallon batch in minutes — into bulk containers, filling or packaging equipment, an extruder, or a two or three-roll mill. The system easily handles non-flowing products up to several million centipoise. By combining the Discharge System with a set of interchangeable mix vessels, you can make your operation even more productive. Change Cans from multiple mixers can be rolled to the Discharge System for fast discharge, then rolled away for cleaning as the next Change Can is positioned for discharge. This flexibility can boost production on several process lines, all working with a single Discharge System.

The Ross Discharge System improves plant safety, because it lowers the risk of injury while scraping heavy materials from the mix vessel. It also reduces the operators exposure to the batch material, while it helps to minimize the release of vapors into the plant atmosphere. Ross Discharge Systems are available for use with Ross mixers and for mixers built by many other manufacturers. Many options are available to suit the special requirements of virtually any application
