Process Engineering
A paddle, propeller, or cup-type agitator circulates finished liquid through the vessel at controlled speed.
The low-shear flow maintains uniformity, supports tinting or let-down, and limits unnecessary air entrainment.
A jacket and controlled discharge can be integrated where temperature or transfer management is required.
Equipment Benefits
Gentle circulation limits unnecessary shear and air entrainment.
Multiple agitator styles suit storage, tinting, and let-down duties.
Jacket, cover, and discharge options integrate with the production line.
Simple construction supports inspection and cleaning.

Equipment Guidance
The Lacquer-mixer is built for Wood Coatings, Industrial Coatings, Automotive Coatings. It is selected when the batch has to be blended homogeneously without the shear damage a disperser would cause.
It works up to low to medium viscosity. Product-contact parts are Stainless steel 304 / 316L with solvent-compatible seals.
The agitator geometry keeps the whole batch moving rather than only the zone around the shaft, so colour, filler and additive distribution stay consistent from batch to batch.
Capacity is 100 - 5,000 L, with motor power 1. Vessel size is matched to the batch and the available floor space.
Bottom discharge, side discharge and hydraulic discharge arrangements are offered, with vacuum and jacket options where the formulation requires them.
