Chemical, paint and coating industries require different methods of mixing drums.An agitator can mix liquids and solid materials inside of a metal container.
Since there are many ways to agitate fluids in a drum, it is important to get familiar with the different methods that can be used and the different types of drum agitators that exist.
What is a Drum Agitator and how do they work? - A machine used to blend or mix chemicals together in a container (usually metal) called a drum.
How to Choose a Drum Agitator: 3 Methods for Mixing in Drums Supplying the right method to mix chemicals in a drum is important because it can affect efficiency, safety and production.
Types of Drum Mixers - Spiral mixer: A spiral blade wraps around the drum to slow down mixing, but is easy to clean.
End cap agitators: Create a torque movement on drum to mix thoroughly - 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 - Maximum performance requires power - Total height of equipment - Volume capacity of container being used Bung mixing is used to mix materials within drums.
However, they are not very effective, run at high speeds, and cause temperature issues.
These mixers run at high speeds and quite often run a high shear rate due to high speed.
They usually have a small, ineffective blade that turns the material.
Even if the bung mixer is replaced with an agitator the material will still spin at a high rate of speed.
This means that it is still essential to slow down the mixing process by using weight loads and chills.
Are there other ways to mix drums? Multi-cone Agitators are made up of multiple cones that stack on top of one another.
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 works similarly to an end cap agitator but has paddles instead of a mixing screw.
To prevent any leakage, drum bungs require a positive seal.
- 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.
A vibratory drum mixer can be used to mix paint, liquid chemicals and other dry materials together.
This drum mixer is made up of a rotating agitator, an eccentricweight, and a coupling device that reduce vibration transfer to the drum.
