Pneumatic Air Driven Mixers

25 products

Compressed air is a great source with which to power mixing equipment. These air powered mixers are intrinsically safe to operate in high solvent environments and they allow you to inexpensively control the rotation of the shaft. Some downsides of air driven and pneumatic mixers are the high-volume requirements for air flow necessitating large compressors/reservoirs for sustained operation and the fluctuation of speed based on the impeller resistance in the fluid. Mixer Direct has a large selection of air driven mixers which can be sorted below by functional attributes. Browse here or contact us for more information on air mixers.

Discover the Benefits of Air Mixers

Harness the power of compressed air with an air mixer from Mixer Direct. Perfect for use in confined spaces and with harsh or flammable solvents, air-driven mixers provide advantages for many industries. Keep reading to learn why air mixers may be the right choice for you.

Primary Benefits of an Air Mixer

An air mixer offers several benefits over electric mixers. Other benefits of air mixers are:

  • Won't Produce Electric Sparks: Unlike electric motors, air mixers have no electrical components that could generate a spark, making an air mixer a safe choice for mixing flammable materials.
  • Lightweight: With no heavy motor attached, air mixers are lightweight and perfect for 5-gallon buckets and other smaller applications where a heavier electric motor would be problematic.
  • Portable: Since they're lightweight and need no electrical outlet, air mixers can be used in one area and then moved to the next. This is especially helpful for smaller industries or those who need multiple containers mixed throughout the plant.
  • Greater Speed Range: With the turn of a valve, an air mixer operator can smoothly increase or decrease the shaft speed as necessary.
  • Easy to Clean and Maintain: Remove it from the bucket or drum and clean it according to the types of materials mixed.
  • Unaffected by Heat: Unlike an electric motor, an air mixer has no coil to overheat or shut down, so it won't have damaged parts due to excessive heat. The air in the air engine cools the agitator.
  • Less Contamination: Since there are so few parts to an air mixer, there is less risk of contaminating the material it's stirring.
  • Gentle Blending: An air-powered drum mixer provides a steady, gentle mixing process.
