Common Questions About Our Barrel Mixer
How do I select the right Barrel Mixer model for my application?
The right model depends on your material viscosity, batch size, and mixing requirements. Generally, our 100 Series is ideal for lighter materials, while our 300 and 500 Series handle more demanding applications. Contact our team for a personalized recommendation.
What maintenance is required for the Barrel Mixer?
Our Barrel Mixers are designed for minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the removable shaft and blades after each use is recommended. Occasionally check gear lubrication and motor condition according to the included maintenance schedule.
Can the Barrel Mixer handle high-viscosity materials?
Yes, our heavy-duty models are specifically designed for higher viscosity materials. The 300 and 500 Series mixers provide increased torque and variable speed options to effectively mix thicker compounds.
What’s the difference between single, two-speed, and variable speed models?
Single speed models maintain consistent RPM for standard applications. Two-speed models offer flexibility for different materials. Variable speed models provide precise control for optimal mixing of specialty materials or when exact specifications are required.
