ASC Automatic Sample Changer
ASC Automatic Sample Changer allows the fully automated measurement of up to 32 samples in one work cycle. The positioning of the measuring cups, the measuring procedure, including data recording and subsequent cleaning of the measuring bob, are fully automatic. This unique system not only save work but also increases the quality of the measuring results due to high reproducibility.
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.
Double Planetary Mixer
Ross pioneered the Double Planetary Mixer design more than 60 years ago. Design updates make this mixer suitable for use in applications up to 7,000,000 centipoise. A high speed design variation is also available.
FRS1600 Furnace Rheometer System
FRS1600 Furnace Rheometer System combines a rheometer and a lab furnace for viscosity measurements of melts at temperatures up to 1600°C. This helps ensure a consistent high quality of the final product and to optimize this energy-intensive process. Materials of regular use in everyday life, such as glasses and metals, are processed or refined as melts at temperatures above 1000°C.
High Shear Mixer
All rotor/stator mixers are comprised of a rotor that turns at high speed within a stationary stator. In a “single-stage” unit, the rotor includes a single set of four blades. As the rotating blades pass each opening in the stator, they mechanically shear particles and droplets, and expel material at high velocity into the surrounding mix, creating intense hydraulic shear.
High Speed Disperser
Ross High Speed Dispersers are the industry standard for durability, faster dispersion and low maintenance costs. Standard models include: explosion-proof, inverter duty motors; heavy duty V-belt drives and bearings; safety switches; an air/oil hydraulic lift system with hand/foot controls; and stainless steel wetted parts and shaft guard. Sizes range from 1/2 HP to 200 HP to handle batches from 1 to 2000 gallons. Custom designs are also available.
High-Throughput Rheometer HTR 301
High-Throughput Rheometer HTR 301 is the first fully automated rheometer available. Rheological measurements are carried out by MCR rheometers in the high quality the instruments are known for, while a robot handles all additional tasks pertaining to the measurement. Measurements are performed with concentric cylinder as well as with cone-and-plate and parallel-plate geometries – a novelty in automated rheometry.
Lovis 2000 M/ME Rolling-Ball Viscometer
Lovis 2000 M/ME Rolling-Ball Viscometer measures the rolling time of a ball through transparent and opaque liquids according to Hoeppler's falling ball principle. Measurement requires only 400 µL sample volume. Results are given as relative, kinematic or dynamic viscosity. Lovis 2000 M/ME is compact and economical, and saves space in the lab. It is the successor to Anton Paar’s AMVn automated microviscometer.
MCR Rheometer Series
MCR Rheometer Series is based on a concept at the cutting edge of technology. The EC motor technique, the low friction bearing and the patented normal force sensor have been optimized over years to satisfy the highest demands of rheologists. Any type or combination of rheological tests, both in rotational and oscillatory mode, are possible with the MCR rheometers. The modularity of the system allows the integration of a wide range of temperature devices and application-specific accessories.
Multi-Shaft Mixer
We offer Dual and Triple Shaft designs to meet your specific process requirements. Our economical Dual Shaft design includes a conventional high speed disperser and a two wing anchor agitator. This configuration is ideal for straight forward dispersion and mixing applications.
Planetary Dispersers
The patented Planetary Disperser combines a planetary blade and a high speed dispersion blade. The planetary and the high speed disperser blades rotate on their own axes and also rotate continuously around the vessel. The planetary blade feeds materials directly into the high shear zone of the orbiting high speed disperser. This combination of unique mixing actions eliminate the need for multiple mixers i.e. 2 technologies in one machine.
Powder Induction
All rotor/stator mixers are comprised of a rotor that turns at high speed within a stationary stator. In a “single-stage” unit, the rotor includes a single set of four blades. As the rotating blades pass each opening in the stator, they mechanically shear particles and droplets, and expel material at high velocity into the surrounding mix, creating intense hydraulic shear.
PreMax
This single-stage rotor/stator generator is specially contoured to generate both high shear and vigorous flow in a batch mixing environment. Designed especially for pigment dispersions, the Delta rotor/stator generator is used in the Ross PreMax* to produce an intense combination of mechanical, hydraulic and cavitational shear, which results in aggressive deagglomeration.
Q-FOG Cyclic Corrosion Tester

Q-SUN Xenon Test Chambers
Q-SUN® xenon arc chambers reproduce the damage caused by full-spectrum sunlight and rain. In a few days or weeks, Q-SUN testers can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors.
QUV Accelerated Weathering Tester
Sunlight and moisture cause millions of dollars of material damage every year. The QUV® accelerated weathering tester tests materials by exposing them to alternating cycles of UV light and moisture at controlled, elevated temperatures. In a few days or weeks, the QUV tester can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors. With thousands of testers in service worldwide, the QUV tester is the world's most widely used weathering tester.
