Variable-Speed Electric Mixers for Tanks
Turn the dial to adjust the speed of the propellers. These mixers attach to your tank wall. All have high-flow propellers that generate 40% greater flow than conventional propellers. Propellers are left hand and move clockwise when viewed from above to direct flow downward for efficient mixing.
Use a mixer with two propellers for thorough mixing in tanks that are deeper than they are wide and for faster mixing than mixers with one propeller.
Mixers for thin liquids are for liquids with a viscosity similar to water and light oils. Also known as direct-drive mixers, they operate at high speeds for rapid tank turnover.
Mixers for thick liquids are for liquids with a viscosity similar to honey and molasses. Also known as gear-drive mixers, they turn propellers at low speeds.
