Drum mixer for dispersions & agitations
Achieve seamless fluid formulation and agitation with a compact, high-speed drum mixer designed for precise batch processing, optimizing your production time and ensuring consistent results across a wide range of liquid and slurry-based products.
Processes Dispersions and Agitations in Liquid Formulations
The Drum Mixer from Hockmeyer Equipment Corporation offers explosion-proof mixing for dispersions and agitations in industries such as chemicals, paints, and cosmetics. Engineered for standard 55-gallon drums, it handles batches starting at 3 gallons, with an 8-inch diameter blade driven by a 15-horsepower motor. This mixer excels in versatility, accommodating different blade styles to optimize dispersion. It features a variable frequency inverter for precise control, and can be mounted on a rail system for service across multiple drums. Safety features include start-stop controls, a height limit switch, and manual raising and lowering of the unit. Ideal for manual, high-speed operations, it supports a range of liquid and slurry product types, from industrial inks to cosmetic creams. Options for floor mounting increase its adaptability in diverse production environments.
