Laboratory mixer system. (Instruments).

The Model PDM 2 Laboratory PowerMix is used for the mixing of high viscosity materials that benefit from a combination of low and high speed agitation. The unit combines a high speed disperser with a planetary mixer. Both revolve on their axis while at the same time revolving on a common axis. Each agitator is provided with independent speed controls. The PDM Model is also available with a range of optional features, including sanitary designs and special benches. The Lab PowerMix is available in one half, two, four and five gallon sizes. Most units are supplied for vacuum operation and include .jackets for heating and cooling. Many options are available to tailor a mixer to specific production needs. All components of the mixer are shrouded for safety and to enhance the overall look of the unit, according to the company. Included as standard features are many components that were once offered as optional features, including hydraulic lifts that raise and lower the mix can to the mix and discharge positions, a self-contained control panel with single point hook-up, multiple agitator designs, an expanded speed range with constant torque drive, and more.
