Product Description

We designed the mixer unit to be retro fitted to our existing tank range, but we can also supply a complete tank & mixer combination from all of our current tank range options. The mixer motor itself is situated on the lid of our tank, with an aluminium bar included to support the weight. This aluminium bar is bolted to the motor so that stability is ensured.

A gearbox has been added to the motor so that the rotation speed isn’t too high – the mixer is designed to stir the tank contents, rather than to blend them, so the rotation speed is 120 rpm. A hole is cut in the centre of the lid, so that the mixer can be operated with the lid still in place – and so protect the contents – or, if required, the mixer can be added to any tank without a lid being used.

From the motor position on the centre of the lid, a stainless shaft extends vertically down into the tank, at the end of which there is a stainless impeller with three blades. Several different shaft lengths are available, so that the blade can be positioned where it’s going to be most effective. We can even add a mixer blade to tanks with other options installed, such as heating elements, thanks to being able to use different shaft lengths.

In addition to this regular mixer motor, we have also developed a Mash Tun mixing motor. This motor has a lower rotation speed, and the option of 2 or 3 impeller blades, which are also wider than the regular sized blades. These changes really help to ensure that a good mix of grain & water can easily be achieved – a difficult operation if one is using a hand held paddle – particularly with the largest of our Tun range, which could require volumes of well over 100kg of grain to be mixed.

The mixer motor itself is powered by a regular 240v input, so it can be used anywhere that has mains power available.
