ROSS DOUBLE PLANETARY DRUM MIXER HELPS LUBRICANT MANUFACTURER REACH WASTE MINIMIZATION TARGET
A major company enjoys an excellent reputation for quality lubrication products used in the fields of wire drawing and metal forming. The EPA notified all generators of hazardous waste to certify on their waste disposal manifests that they had established waste minimization programs. The company shipped finished lubricant shipped in 55 gallon drums, thus preparing the product directly in the drums could eliminate the cleaning procedure used on the ribbon blender, which accounted for much of the waste generation. The company evaluated the Ross Double Planetary mixer. The Planetary proved its successful at mixing the viscous lubricants. A Ross HDM-55 Double Planetary Drum mixer was ordered and the company has been able to comply with the EPA waste minimization requirement to reduce storage, handling, waste transportation and disposal.
