Drum Agitator Mixers
Drum Agitator Mixers
Chemical, paint and coating industries require different methods of mixing drums. An agitator can mix liquids and solid materials inside of a metal container.
There are many ways to stir fluids in drums, so it is important that you become familiar with all the options and types of drum agitators.
What is a Drum Agitator?
- A machine used to blend or mix chemicals together in a container (usually metal) called a drum.
How to choose a Drum Agitator: Three Methods to Mix Chemicals in Drums. This is because it can impact efficiency, safety, and production.
Drum Mixer Types
- Spiral mixer: uses a helix spiral blade wrapped around the inside of the drum, slow slow mixing action but easy to clean.
- End cap agitators: create a torque movement on the drum for thorough mixing.
- Direct drive Agitators: Attached to the shaft of the drum to mix the chemical within the drum.
There are other things to consider before purchasing a drum agitator
- Power requirement for optimum performance
- Total height of equipment
- Volume capacity of container being used
Bung mixing in drums is a method to mix materials inside a drum, as well. They aren't very efficient, can run at high speeds and can cause temperature problems. These mixers run at high speeds and quite often run a high shear rate due to high speed. Typically they have a tiny and ineffective blade on them that turns the material.
Even if one replaces the bung mixer with an agitator, the material will still rotate at a high speed. It is important to slow down the process of mixing by using weight loads or chills.
What are other ways to mix in drums?
- Multi cone Agitators use multiple cones stacked on top of each other. Multi cone Agitators work by rotating the container, and then having a spiral-shaped mixing shaft rotate within a few cones to mix chemicals.
- End Cap Agitators use a mixing screw that allows the chemicals being mixed to move from the center of the barrel outwards.
Side Press Agitator is designed for use in cylindrical drums. It uses a side press fitting rather than a bung. This allows for a positive seal, and can be attached easily with a mixer shaft.
Pallet Agitator is similar to an end cap-agitator, but uses paddles in place of a mixing screw. The positive seal is needed for drum bungs to prevent leakage.
- Direct drive agitators are equipped with the shaft that attaches to the mixer directly to the drum's rotating axle. This can help reduce vibration in the system.
- Vibratory Drum Mixer can be used for mixing paint or other liquid chemicals together, rather than dry materials. This drum mixer is made up of a rotating agitator, an eccentricweight, and a coupling device that reduce vibration transfer to the drum.
