Description
EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer – 1 HP Battery-Powered Geared Drive
The EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer has some of the largest mixing blades for open head drums on the market. These patented variable pitch fixed blades (16” in diameter) can work with either plastic or steel drums where the lid can be removed. When the mixer begins to rotate, these innovative blades generate both horizontal and vertical rotation throughout the barrel, ensuring a thorough mix throughout the entire container.
Powered via a high quality air system, electrical outlet, or power-tool battery – our EvenMix® Drives are the most lightweight on the market. With the Drive weighing in between 7-13 pounds, these 1-1.25 HP units work in conjunction with our patented variable pitch folding blade sets to achieve a no shear mix with practically zero air entrapment. All Drive types are incredibly efficient with our Air Drive operating at 90 PSI and consuming 13 CFM. The Digital Drives powered via traditional outlets pull 4 amps max, and the battery-powered Drives can operate for hours on end with a single DeWalt® or Milwaukee® battery. Digital “Battery-Powered” Drives also feature 20 preset speeds, ranging from ~27-100 RPMs and 4 various mixing modes to allow for mixing process customization and remote capabilities. All EvenMix® Drives produce substantial amounts of torque (over 20 newton meters) via 85:1 or 151:1 gearboxes. When combined with our patented blade design, this Drum Lid Mixer can mix most materials between 0 – 4,000 centipoise in an open-head drum.
This mixer package mounts to the top of a 55-gallon drum via an agitator drum lid that is provided upon purchase. When assembled, the entire unit (Lid/Drive/Shaft) is all one piece and can easily be moved to other open-head drums by even the smallest of operators.
Patented Mixing Blade
The EvenMix® Patented Variable Pitch Blade design is the exact same as what we feature in our IBC Tote Mixer, except the blades do not fold (they are welded directly to the shaft in the open position). These twisted blades go from 90-degrees to 30-degrees in angle. Due to this steep change in angle and various other bends on the blades, the mixing blade will not generate a vortex and will not sheer the material inside the drum. This blade design also generates rotational movement on both a vertical and horizontal axis, ensuring a thorough mix in the entire drum/barrel – testing the same at the top and bottom of the container for most materials between 0 – 4,000 centipoise. Thicker materials (over 4,000 centipoise) can also be used with our Closed-Head Drum Bung Mixer Package with (2) Sets of Blades (20,000+ cps maximum). All of the “wet” parts on this mixer package are 316 stainless steel. Food grade welds on the blades are also available for an additional cost.
Weight and Modularity
These EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer Packages weigh between 18 and 23 pounds in total weight including the provided agitator drum lid (18 pounds for the Air Driven package, and 23 pounds for the Digital packages – 120v and battery-powered). This lightweight design allows for one person installation in minutes and makes these packages some of most mobile drum mixers on the market. Modularity within the EvenMix® system gives operators the ability to reuse the same Drive for mixing in various other containers (with the proper EvenMix® Mount and Blade setup) OR the ability to use one Drive for multiple mixers via our “Anti-Contamination” Fitting/Reducer – saving significant costs in the long term and allowing the EvenMix® system to grow with your operation (Ex. as your product volume increases, you can reuse parts of the same mixer package for larger containers or different materials).
3D Mixing Performance
Look at how the EvenMix® moves liquid around the drum as it circulates material and liquid. This drum is filled with liquid glycerin (about the consistency of paint) with some blue stars and sand. You can even see how it picks up sand from the bottom of the drum and moves it around the container.
Installation & Operation
The EvenMix® systems lightweight design allows for single user installation. Simply assemble the unit and place on top of the drum/barrel. Secure the provided lid to the barrel via a drum ring (not included), and start mixing in seconds. Gone are the days of heavy, bulky mixing equipment. No more rolling the drum on the floor or a stand. No more inserting a bunch of small mixing blades in through the top lid and needing an entire team to start the mixing process.
