The need for different types and styles of mixing in a drum can be found throughout the chemical, paint and coating industry.For these applications, an agitator is able to mix solid materials or liquids together 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? - A machine that mixes chemicals 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: 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 drum to mix thoroughly - Direct drive agitators: are attached to the drum's shaft to directly mix the chemical inside the drum.
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 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.
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.
The multi cone agitator works by rotating the container and having a spiral-shaped mixing screw rotate inside of a few cones to blend chemicals together.
- 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 used in cylindrical drums and has a side press fitting instead of a bung, this allows for a positive seal and easily attached with a mixer shaft.
Pallet Agitator is similar to an end cap-agitator, but uses paddles in place 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.
- Vibratory Drum Mixer can be used for mixing paint or other liquid chemicals together, rather than dry materials.
This type of drum mixer uses a rotating agitator, an eccentric weight and a coupling device to reduce any vibration transferring to the drum.
