Ross offers new custom agitated vessels with silicone heating blanket for processes that cannot accommodate the conventional jacket which requires a heating fluid.

Silicone heating blankets and temperature sensors are installed on the sidewalls and dished bottom of the vessel.
Bolt-on insulation and sheathing are also provided. Suitable for low viscosity solutions and suspensions, the vessel’s propeller agitator is driven by a ½ HP inverter-duty motor and controlled from a NEMA 4X stainless steel panel that includes an E-Stop mushroom head, cycle timer, digital heater temperature comptrollers and a high temperature alarm. Ross agitated vessels are highly customizable and can be supplied with any number of sight/charge ports and process connections.
