Explosion-Proof Air Powered Stirrers & Mixers

Our air-powered mixers are explosion proof which eliminates the possibility of spark ignition when working with volatile chemicals, solvents, lacquers, and other flammable solutions. This makes Arrow’s industrial stirrers perfect for laboratory use. As one of the top industrial stirrer manufacturers, we offer both reversible and non-reversible air mixers which are capable of handling your high speed, high torque mixing applications.

These overhead stirrers come equipped with a needle valve to control your mixing speed. We recommend using a filter/regulator in your air supply and an air-line lubricator for a long and trouble-free motor life in our pneumatic mixers. Unlike electric models, air driven mixers offer superior safety in hazardous environments where flammable vapors are present. All explosion proof air driven mixers come standard with an aluminum support rod, a four-foot air hose, and a 316 stainless steel shaft and propeller. Built for reliability and ideal performance, these mixers best ensure consistent results in demanding applications. They are designed to meet the rigorous demands of various types of industries.

FAQ’s

What is an air mixer (pneumatic mixer/air-powered mixer)?

A: An air mixer – also called a pneumatic or air-powered/air-driven mixer – is powered by compressed air rather than electricity. At Arrow Mixing Products, our air mixers feature explosion-proof construction that eliminates spark ignition, making them safe and reliable for volatile, flammable, or hazardous environments.

Why should I choose an air-powered mixer instead of an electric mixer?

A: Choose an air-powered mixer when working with flammable materials, solvents, or environments where spark risk is an issue. Arrow’s pneumatic mixers provide superior safety (explosion-proof), variable torque (air pressure dynamically adjusts load), and rugged performance in demanding applications. In contrast, electric mixers are more energy efficient but less safe in volatile settings.

How should I set up my air supply for optimal performance and mixer longevity?

A: For optimum results, Arrow recommends using a filter/regulator in your air supply to ensure clean, consistent pressure, and an air-line lubricator to maintain motor life. Adjustable needle-valve speed control is built into Arrow pneumatic mixers for precise speed regulation.

What are the key advantages of Arrow’s pneumatic (air-driven) mixers?

A: Key advantages include:

Built for reliability: Includes needle-valve speed control, stainless steel shafts/propellers, and comes with hose, rod, and muffler.

Explosion-proof safety: No risk of electrical spark.

Reversible or non-reversible models: Adaptable to high-speed or high-torque needs.
