Sanitary Ribbon Blender with Ergonomic Bag Unloading Station

Ross recently unveiled a new custom cover arrangement design for their custom blending systems, allowing the operator to safely be able to dispose of bags of powder.

ROSS engineers custom blending systems incorporating ergonomic material handling accessories, including bag dump workstations. A new design allows an operator to safely empty bags of powder through a bar grating while a contiguous vibrating tray assembly catches foreign debris and off-spec ingredients. The custom cover arrangement is now available on all Ribbon Blenders and the pictured Model 42N-18SS utilizes safety limit switches that prevent operation of the agitator if any access ports are open or if the grating is removed. All interior and exterior surfaces are stainless steel, polished to 150-grit sanitary finish. The blender also features a sanitary 4” spherical disc discharge valve with pneumatic actuator. ROSS supplied UL-listed operator controls in a NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure with 3R fan shrouds, variable frequency drive, digital speed and amperage readouts, dial-type potentiometer, cycle timer and E-Stop.

Manipulating Cannabis Genetics: Pulling Levers to Increase  Phytochemical Composition
Cannabis genetics fundamentally dictate the plant's potential for chemical signatures, including cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and physical traits, such as yield. Cultivators use selective techniques, such as "stacking," to enhance specific compounds. Ultimately, successful cultivation involves balancing superior genetics with environmental "levers" to optimize gene expression and create targeted strains.
