The mixing agitator used for paints and resins, equipped with a speed variator, is a fundamental tool for many industries, including the chemical, pharmaceutical and coatings industries. This type of machine allows you to mix fluids with different viscosities, adapting to both more fluid and denser products, such as epoxy resins and paints.

General description and components

A mixer stirrer like this, typically equipped with a motor with a speed variator, allows you to adjust the rotation of the impeller based on the specific needs of the product to be mixed. This particular model has a rugged design with components that include:

• Electric motor : with variable power depending on the size of the tank and the viscosity of the materials treated.
• Impeller or propeller : the main mechanical element that creates agitation, facilitating the homogeneous mixing of materials.
• Shaft and support : which connect the motor to the impeller.
• Mixing tank : designed to contain different capacities, often equipped with systems to avoid the formation of lumps.

Measurements and mechanical characteristics

The size and capacity of a mixer agitator varies, but typically industrially used models have capacities from 10 to over 500 litres. The most compact models can have an engine power between 0.3 kW and 2.5 kW. The construction materials for these machines, such as stainless steel or corrosion-resistant materials, are chosen to ensure durability and chemical resistance.

Use and operating procedure

Using a mixer stirrer is quite simple but requires some attention. The typical process involves:

1. Insert the mixture components into the tank.
2. Turn on the motor and select the stirring speed with the speed variator.
3. Monitor the consistency of the mixture, adjusting the speed based on the viscosity of the material.
4. Stop the process when the mixture is homogeneous.

Speed ​​regulation allows you to thoroughly mix even sensitive materials that may react to temperature or stirring speed.

Optimal accessories and parameters

Among the useful accessories for these mixers we can find automatic control systems, valves for pressure control, and temperature meters to monitor conditions during mixing. To obtain optimal results, formulas are used that take into account the rotation speed (RPM), the diameter of the impeller, and the viscosity of the material:

$$Q$$

Where:

• Q is the flow rate,
• K is a constant depending on the type of impeller,
• D is the diameter of the impeller,
• N is the rotation speed

Workable materials

Variable speed mixer agitators are capable of processing a wide range of materials, including:

• Paints and coatings.
• Epoxy resins.
• Thick food products such as sauces or pastes.
• Industrial composite materials
• Maintenance and evaluation of used vehicles

Maintenance of a mixer agitator is essential to guarantee its correct functioning over time. The main operations include cleaning the tank and the impeller, periodically checking the motor bearings, and checking the speed regulation system. When purchasing a used vehicle, it is important to check the wear and tear of the mechanical components, the presence of rust or corrosion, and whether the engine and controls are working properly.

Sectors of use and advantages of used vehicles

This type of machine is mainly used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and paint sectors. Buying a used model can be convenient because it allows you to get a sturdy machine at a lower cost, often with minimal signs of wear and a long operating life.
