An Eyebolt is standard with all mixers for lifting with a hoist. An optional module for lifting with a forklift is available.

ELECTRIC MOTORS

All mixers provided by US Mixers come standard with energy-efficient electric motors and are available either as fixed speed or with integral electronic variable speed (ESV).

Standard voltage and frequency:

208/230/460v three phase 60Hz

240V single phase 60 Hz

120v single phase 60Hz (on restricted models)

Electric drives for use in a safe area are supplied factory wired and ready for use, and include a DOL starter with overload protection, safety switch, and an appliance plug.

A safety interlock is integrated into the mixer support bridge and wired to the motor control circuit to prevent the mixer from being started when not mounted on a Tote tank.

AIR MOTORS

Air (Pneumatic) motors regulate the motor speed with a flow control valve help reduce noise with an exhaust muffler. Each Tote Tank mixer comes standard with an air drive Tote tank mixer datasheet for estimated air consumption graphs and operating pressures.

GEARBOX

Gear drives use FDA class H1 food grade synthetic lubricant which allows use in a safe area.
