Compact, portable industrial drum mixer and drain stand rolls closed drum to agitate the contents.

Mixing in a sealed drum eliminates worker exposure and reduces clean-up.

  • Portable drum mixers agitate and blend drum contents without opening the drum! 
  • Utilize important ingredients that would otherwise be in unmixed sediment
  • Eliminate the hazards and clean-up of messy transfer of contents
  • Roll a drum
    • 6" to 28" in diameter
    • Up to 40" tall
      Note: The tipping lever will only engage a drum 30" or taller
  • Capacity varies with model number
    (see Drum Rotator Chart)
    • 500 Lb. Liquid Load
    • Up to 400 Lb. Dry Load. A shifting dry load exerts greater stress on the drum rotator.
  • Specify choice of drum RPM and motor type when ordering (see chart below)
  • Dimensions
    • Stands just 19.25" tall when rolling a drum, making loading and unloading easier.
    • Measures 21" wide x 34.75" long with drum in rolling position.

  • Use as drain stand to dispense from drum
  • Enclosed sides and back protect the drive

Option to Roll a Plastic Drum

Option to roll plastic drum
Plastic drums are soft-sided and lack the ridged ribs and rims of a steel drum. They require special features to position them on the drum roller, and to prevent them from traveling lengthways during rotation.

This option includes

  • Three extra wheels on each side support your plastic drum. The weight is then distributed over a total of 14 wheels.
  • End stop to prevent a plastic drum from traveling lengthways while being rolled.
  • Chain to latch around the top of the drum while tipping from upright to horizontal rolling position on the drum rotator. The chain should then be released during drum rolling.

Option POLY-201

Order this option on your new portable drum roller.

Option # 201-CAGE   Enclosure with Safety Interlock

Install Morse Rotators in accordance with OSHA requirements for enclosure and interlock, etc. For OSHA compliance, see OSHA subpart O.1910.212 "General Requirements for all Machines." Power connections and motor controls must comply with applicable codes.
