When you need precision in your lab, there’s no room for guesswork. Whether you’re working with volatile materials, thick compounds, or specialized formulations, your equipment has to perform consistently—and safely. At Arrow Mixing Products, we understand the demands of your work, and we’ve built our overhead stirrers to help you meet them with confidence.
For over 70 years, we have worked with chemists, engineers, and lab technicians across various industries, including chemical processing, cosmetics, coatings, and more. Our overhead mixers are engineered for accuracy, efficiency, and reliability—because we know that’s exactly what your team depends on.
Get Control Where It Counts
Speed variability isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. That’s why our overhead stirrers give you complete control over speed, ranging from 10 to 6,000 RPM. Whether you’re blending a low-viscosity solvent or slowly stirring a thick gel, you can adjust agitation to get consistent, repeatable results.
With a direct drive system and a solid torque curve, our mixers don’t fade under pressure. You get the same stable performance whether you’re running short tests or mixing for extended periods. And because you’re in control of the speed, you’re protecting the integrity of your formulation—no overheating, no shear damage, just clean, efficient mixing.
Choose the Right Mixer for the Right Environment
Every lab or production space is different, so we make sure our mixer lineup meets a range of needs:
- Electric Overhead Stirrers: Great for everyday bench work. They’re easy to set up, quiet during operation, and give you the flexibility to work across a range of viscosities. Their simplicity and reliability make them a staple in countless labs.
- Digital Mixers: Offer the same core benefits as electric models but with added precision. With digital speed readouts and programmable control features, these mixers are ideal when you need tight process monitoring or are handling materials that require exact RPM accuracy. They’re instrumental in environments where reproducibility and documentation are crucial, such as QA testing labs or product development workflows.
- Pneumatic Stirrers: Built for hazardous environments where flammable solvents are in use. If your workspace is classified or explosion-proof, a spark-free pneumatic mixer provides the safety you need without sacrificing torque or performance.
We’ve worked with engineers, chemists, and formulators long enough to know there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. You need the right tool for your specific process, and we’re here to help you find it quickly and get it in your lab fast.
Built for the Realities of Lab Work
We don’t cut corners when it comes to quality. Our mixers are made right here in the U.S. from precision-machined aluminum and stainless steel. That means they’re durable enough to handle tough materials and long run times, without wobbling, warping, or wearing out.
Every mixer we ship is built to handle the realities of lab and industrial use. That includes:
- Reliable torque across the full speed range
- Low vibration during operation
- Secure mounting options for tight or mobile setups
If you’ve ever worked with an underpowered stirrer or dealt with constant blade replacements, you know how much downtime that creates. We eliminate that by delivering stirrers that last, shift after shift.
In-Stock Availability for Fast Fulfillment
In a lab setting, timing is everything. Waiting weeks for a stirrer or blade to arrive can disrupt schedules and delay projects. Arrow understands this and maintains a robust inventory of overhead stirrers, parts, and accessories—ready to ship.
From shaft couplers to replacement impellers and stirrer blades, the company is structured to reduce lead times. Engineers and lab managers don’t need to juggle multiple vendors or chase delayed deliveries—Arrow has it covered.
This commitment to stocking even niche components is part of why Arrow has earned a loyal following in chemical engineering and testing environments.
Accessory Options That Match Your Mixing Profiles
Arrow’s mixing systems are designed to adapt to your specific needs, thanks to a range of interchangeable accessories like stainless steel propellers and precision-machined shafts. Our propellers promote efficient axial flow, making them ideal for general-purpose stirring of low-to medium-viscosity liquids, and are available in diameters from 2½” to 5¼ “. Pair them with our threaded shafts—offered in a variety of lengths — for a stable, low-vibration setup that fits your container size and application. This modular system allows you to switch between tasks, such as light solvent blending or thicker slurry agitation, without needing multiple mixers. It gives you performance flexibility while keeping your workflow efficient and cost-effective.
Easy to Set Up, Easy to Use
We design our mixers to fit your space and workflow. Arrow overhead stirrers can be mounted on lab stands, clamped to vessels, or positioned on custom systems depending on your layout. They’re lightweight but rugged, so you can use them in compact labs without sacrificing performance.
Plus, our speed controls are intuitive—no training manual needed. If you’re scaling up, training new staff, or simply need a plug-and-go solution, we’ve got you covered.
Professionals Trust Arrow—And You Can Too
We’ve spent decades working directly with professionals like you. From independent labs to large-scale production lines, our mixers have helped customers solve real-world challenges more quickly, safely, and with greater confidence.
When you choose Arrow, you’re getting more than a piece of equipment. You’re getting:
- U.S.-made mixers
- Responsive support
- In-stock inventory
