55-Gallon Drum Mixers & Agitators

In order to minimize transfer waste and save capital investment, many manufacturers choose to do their mixing right in the drum where they receive their product. In order to do that appropriately Mixer Direct has developed a line of drum agitators that attach in a variety of ways to the 55-gallon drum. Some of our 55-gallon drum agitators clamp on to the side or a stand placed next to the drum. Others prefer to replace the lid on an open top drum with a Drum Lid Mount drum mixer. For closed drums, the bung mount mixer has folding impellers that open up when the motor is activated. Other options include paddle mixers, axial flow turbines and more.

What Drum Mixer Products Can You Order?

For reference, you can order a 4 HP Air Direct Drive Drum Lid Mount or a 1/2 HP Variable Speed Direct Drive Bung Mount. The possibilities are endless!

What's the Difference Between a Bung and Drum Lid Mount?

Our 55-gal drum mixer selection features both drum lid and bung mount options. As their names imply, drum lid mixers are applied directly over the drum lid to provide a tight seal for efficient mixing, while a drum mixer with a bung mount is applied to the bung hole and works within the bung openings to properly mix materials.

What Impeller Types Are Offered?

Mixer Direct's drum mixer equipment comes with powerful and efficient impellers that range in size from 4 inches to 14 inches. These crucial components are manufactured to handle the demands of various mixing jobs with designs that include axial flow turbine, propeller, hydrofoil and folding options. All four of these mechanical styles can impact the way that your mixing is handled, so you will have to choose a 55-gallon drum mixer with the impeller (or multiple impellers) most compatible with your specific job function.
