Food Applications
Dry Solid Blends
The food industry is the main end user of most Ross Ribbon Blenders. Common applications include coffee, spices, food coloring, flour, sugar, cake and bread mixes, frozen vegetables, salsa mixes, snack foods and tea blends.
Mayonnaise, Ketchup, Dressings
Ross Ultra-High Shear Mixers are great alternatives to expensive and high-maintenance high pressure homogenizers when it comes to preparing fine food emulsions and dispersions as in salad dressings, mustard sauce, ketchup, etc.
Cheesecake Formulations
Mixing butter and cheese until a smooth, lump-free, creamy consistency is achieved without "breaking up" the butter, over-beating the cream cheese or over-heating the mixture is the key to success.

Recommended Blending Equipment for Guacamole
Guacamole is a sauce made from avocado typically mixed with tomato, onion, garlic, lime juice, chili, cilantro and other herbs. Eaten as a dip or salad dressing, guacamole is best served immediately after preparation because enzymes in the avocado react with oxygen in the air causing the flesh to turn brown soon after it is cut and peeled. Commercially prepared guacamole thus requires fast mixing to overcome this issue prior to packaging. As described in this bulletin, ribbon blending is an ideal method for producing bulk quantities of fresh guacamole recipes.
ROSS Ribbon Blenders can be customized to include pneumatically operated covers, bag dump stations, special ports and discharge valves, interchangeable paddle agitator, liquid spray bar, load cells, vacuum design, high speed choppers, PLC recipe systems and many other options.
