5-Gallon Can Tumblers - Pail, Can or Bucket Mixers

Morse Morse PailPRO 5-gallon pail handlersCan Tumblers provide aggressive corner-over-corner mixing action. Mix products inside your sealed cans or pails with these can rotators to reduce hazards and save clean-up. Use your pail and can mixer to blend the contents of closed 1 to 5 gallon pails or cans (4 to 19 liter pails or cans).

Please notePlease note: Morse 5-Gallon Can Tumblers rotate pails at a constant 23 RPM in one direction. They are NOT can shakers, as they do NOT shake or oscillate cans.

Enclosures with Safety Interlock for your Morse 5-gallon pail agitator.

Note: OSHA Requirement for enclosure with safety interlock Install all Morse Rotators in accordance with OSHA requirements for enclosure and safety interlock, etc. so the rotator automatically turns off when enclosure door is opened. One way to accomplish this is with a Morse enclosure with safety interlock.

For OSHA compliance, see OSHA subpart O.1910.212(a)(4) "Barrels, containers, and drums. Revolving drums, barrels, and containers shall be guarded by an enclosure which is interlocked with the drive mechanism, so that the barrel, drum, or container cannot revolve unless the guard enclosure is in place."

Power connections and motor controls must comply with applicable codes.

Single phase non-explosion-proof can tumblers with 60 minute timer plug into standard 115V wall outlet. All other Morse can tumblers are shipped without control, cord and plug and must be installed by an electrician according to local codes and customer's preference.

Explosion Proof motors are rated for Class I Group D, and Class II Groups F and G.

Air powered models require plant air at 40 psi and flowing at a rate of 22 scfm. Filter, Regulator, Lubricator and valve (part # 90010-P) should be installed in the air line ahead of the motor.
