Air Powered Drum Mixer Model 310‑A – Heavy Duty Industrial 5–12 RPM

Air Powered Drum Mixer Model 310‑A – Heavy Duty Industrial 5–12 RPM

This air-powered drum mixer is the ideal solution for industries seeking efficient, safe, and thorough mixing of drum-contained materials. Engineered to handle standard 30–55 gallon drums (114–210 liters), this mixer works with drum heights of 28" to 37" and diameters from 18" to 23.5", making it a versatile choice across food processing, chemical, and industrial manufacturing sectors....

The mixer offers a powerful drum rotation range of 5 to 12 RPM, optimized for a standard 22.5" drum diameter. This adjustable speed ensures effective mixing for materials of varying viscosities and densities. Whether you're blending liquids, reconstituting sediment-laden contents, or homogenizing complex substances, the mixer delivers vigorous, uniform mixing using a “corner-over-corner” tumbling motion....

Designed with operator safety and convenience in mind, this unit supports floor-level loading—allowing users to bring drums into place using a drum truck or below-hook lifter. Once positioned upright, the drum is tilted into mixing orientation without excessive physical strain or risk of spillage. This loading approach also minimizes contact with materials, ensuring safer handling and faster changeovers...

The mixer runs on plant air at 50 PSI with a flow requirement of 60 SCFM, eliminating the need for electrical hookups and reducing risks in flammable or explosion-prone environments. It includes essential pneumatic accessories such as an air filter, regulator, and lubricator to ensure efficient, clean operation....

To meet OSHA, CSA, and EU safety requirements, the mixer can be equipped with a guard enclosure and interlock system (sold separately). This feature enhances operator safety by preventing the unit from operating unless all safety mechanisms are secured—critical for compliance in industrial environments....

This drum mixer is designed to improve productivity, reduce downtime, and eliminate the mess associated with insertion mixers. It’s an excellent solution for companies seeking to maintain product consistency, avoid worker exposure to open containers, and minimize clean-up tasks between batches. Use it with steel, plastic, or fiber drums and enjoy dependable, ergonomic performance every time....

Additional In‑Depth Product Description

This air-powered drum mixer is a top choice for facilities needing efficient, high-capacity drum mixing without sacrificing safety or cleanliness. Unlike manual or insertion mixers that require open contact with the material, this closed-drum design minimizes spills and worker exposure. It’s ideal for environments that prioritize hygiene, containment, and regulatory compliance....

The mixer’s tilt-to-load functionality enhances ergonomic safety. Operators can use standard handling equipment to bring the drum in upright at ground level, secure it quickly, and tilt it into the mixing position without physical strain. This makes it especially valuable in high-throughput environments where drums must be changed frequently....

With its robust pneumatic system, the mixer eliminates electrical hazards and meets operational needs in explosion-prone or flammable processing areas. A built-in air filter, regulator, and lubricator ensure the motor receives clean and regulated air flow—extending system life and maintaining consistent performance during long shifts....

Mixing performance is enhanced by the corner-over-corner rotation method. This technique ensures materials, whether liquid, solid, or a combination, are thoroughly blended. It’s particularly effective for rehomogenizing settled materials or ensuring full ingredient integration in formulations....

Safety remains a top priority, with optional accessories like a guard enclosure and interlock system available for facilities adhering to OSHA, CSA, or EU standards. This system ensures that the mixer only runs when all safety protocols are met....

This mixer is a smart investment for companies looking to enhance safety, productivity, and product consistency—all while minimizing clean-up and manual labor....
