Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the RPM level used for thick viscosity materials?
Thick viscosity materials such as cementations materials, joint compounds, and slurry are mixed most efficiently by increasing the rpm levels above 1,500 rpm. In fact, some users push the rpm levels to about 2,500 or more. These higher rpm levels allow the mixture to pull from the bottom and sides of the container.
What container sizes can Squirrel Mixers be used in?
Squirrel Mixers come in sizes which accommodate use in quart, gallon and 5 gallon containers.
Does it work in high viscosity (thicker) materials and what kind of power rating is needed?
Yes, it can be used in thick materials. The basic rule is the thicker the material being mixed, the faster the Squirrel Mixer should be rotated. Additionally, unlike competitor mixers, Squirrel Mixers pull material off the container bottom much like you see the top inlet doing as evidenced by a vortex. As a result, do not push the mixing cage all the way to the bottom.
Can Squirrel Mixers mix paint additives into paint?
Yes it can, you just need to raise the RPM on the drill and make sure the mixing
I let latex paint dry (several coats) on my mixer, is there any way to remove it without damaging the mixer?
Use an old paint brush and brush on Citri Strip, check it every 20 to 30 minutes. Once it softens scrape off as much paint as possible and then wipe down with a cloth dampened with acetone. |
