OverviewThe DME04 horizontal small drum mixer is engineered for ergonomic manual loading and repeatable batch mixing of small plastic drums and kegs. An operator can load up to four drums into the cabinet; closing the doors enables the electrical system and permits safe operation. Variable-speed control and an integrated mix timer support controlled batch processes. Optional ATEX/UKEX and stainless-steel configurations are available for hazardous or GMP environments.
