Used Scott Turbon DP-5-HYD Planetary Mixer – 4 Gal, Vacuum Capable, Dual Can System

Manufacturer

Scott Turbon Mixer, Inc. is a respected manufacturer of high-performance mixing equipment for the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, adhesive, sealant, ink, and specialty materials industries. Scott Turbon planetary mixers are engineered to provide thorough mixing of high-viscosity products while offering reliable performance and flexible processing capabilities.

Description

The Used Scott Turbon Planetary Mixer, Model DP-5-HYD, is a compact 4-gallon double planetary mixer designed for mixing under vacuum. Ideal for laboratory, pilot plant, research and development, and small-scale production applications, this mixer provides efficient blending of medium- to high-viscosity materials while minimizing air entrapment.

The system includes two stainless steel mixing cans for increased production flexibility. One vessel is jacketed with a flat bottom and bottom outlet fitted with a tri-clamp style end cap closure, allowing for temperature-controlled processing. The second vessel features a non-jacketed cone bottom with a center bottom outlet and tri-clamp closure for efficient product discharge.

The vacuum hood is equipped with two approximately 2-inch sight/charge ports, allowing operators to monitor the process and introduce ingredients during mixing. A foot-operated hydraulic lift cart simplifies mixing can exchange, while the included 208-volt control panel features raise and lower controls for convenient vessel positioning.

This Scott Turbon mixer is well suited for manufacturers processing adhesives, sealants, coatings, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, and other viscous products requiring vacuum mixing.
