You can use any of our drum lifters to easily load and unload the drum mixer. Alternatively, you can use a forklift drum lifting attachment. The lifting equipment you intend to use must provide a minimum of 12.9” (330mm) lift height to place drums onto the mixer base plate. However you choose to load and unload your mixer, it is important that you do it in a safe and ergonomic way.

<60 sec. loading time

You can secure 55 gallon into the drum mixer head using the high-quality screw-top clamping bar. The adjustable clamping bar allows you to clamp drums of 33.8”-39.7” (860-1010mm) height effectively. Once secured, close the gates, and you can begin mixing safely.

52-58 gallon (200-220L) steel, plastic and fiberboard drums

Our electric drum mixer features an intuitive interface to provide you with precise control; the panel includes a mix timer, variable RPM adjuster, docking functions and LED-light indicators. The standard model rotates at speeds of up to 10 RPM; we also offer a 24 RPM model for those looking for a faster mix (both rated at 661 lbs. (300kg) maximum capacity).

Operators can set the mix duration and start the mixer running - once the timer reaches zero, the mixer will automatically stop mixing. Operators then simply press the 'docking' button to return the drum to the vertical orientation, ready for unloading.

In compliance with the Machinery Directive, our drum mixers feature a full guarding arrangement as standard. The guarding surrounds the unit and prevents access to the drum during mixing. Guarding is a mandatory requirement for OSHA, CE, and EU and should never be overlooked when sourcing a drum mixing machine.

Safety relay circuit and gate interlocks

Safety is our number one priority; as such, this model features safety gate interlocks - only once the gates have been closed can you activate the mixing function. To protect you and your operators, should the gates be opened during a mix cycle, the unit will stop mixing immediately. Our electrical team install a safety relay circuit to ensure that the system always defaults to a safe condition.

Available in multiple Power Supply Options

Our standard securing arrangement can handle steel, plastic and fiberboard drums with heights from 33.8”-39.7” (860-1010mm). If you need to handle different drum sizes, we offer an optional small-drum adapter (see below). Alternatively, get in touch and we can advise you on the best solution for your particular process.

ATEX model for those who need to mix products in a hazardous or explosive environments. The ATEX End-Over-End Drum Mixer is often used by paint and chemical companies who need to mix solvents, resins and other volatile compounds. The ATEX model has an Ex 'D' control box that can be used in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 environments.

High speed 24 RPM model

When products need mixing faster, we are able to offer a 24 RPM model which utilises a helical-bevel gearbox arrangement (10 RPM is standard). The increased mixing speed will shorten the duration of the mix, allowing for more drums to be homogenised in the same space of time. We recommend this option when mixing times are crucial to keeping production operations flowing at a high rate.

Adapter for mixing smaller drum sizes

We can offer an adjustable adapter to fit drums from 3.9”-33.8” (860-1010mm) in height into the drum mixer. You can set the adapter to different drum heights and diameters by simply moving the placement of two quick-release pins. If you need a custom mixer for unusual drums, we can modify this unit to suit your exact needs - we often make mixers for handling plastic jerrycans and other smaller containers.

Stainless-steel model for clean environments

We offer a 304-grade stainless steel version of this model, ideal for use in food, chemical and pharmaceutical environments where corrosion resistance and cleanroom compatibility are essential. This version features a brushed, polished finish with a combination of stainless steel sheet and polycarbonate guarding. The gearbox and motor assembly, constructed from steel and aluminium, are fully enclosed within a protective shroud.

We can offer custom-designed head assemblies, designed to allow batch mixing of smaller containers commonly found in industrial environments. The example shows eight plastic jerrycans in a mixer head, however, this is just one option available. We can provide head assemblies for jerrycans, small drums, carboys, paint tins, etc.
