Load a Stationary Drum Roller using your hoist or crane with model 41 Drum Lifting Hook (shown) or with model 42 Drum Sling

 You can also place your drum onto the open end (without the motor) of a Stationary Drum Roller with an Omni-Lift Drum Racker

Morse Drum Rotators - Stationary Drum Rollers to mix contents of a sealed drum

Rotating drums to mix or blend material inside a closed drum saves time, labor and money. Drum rotating mixes drum contents to ensure homogeneity with less hazards.

Morse Stationary Drum Rollers

Double Drum Rollers
roll 1 or 2 drums at a time

Model 2-5154/20-1
Double Drum Roller (shown)
rolls your 55-gallon steel drums at 20 RPM.

Single Drum Rollers
for rolling one drum

Model 1-5154/20-1
Single Drum Roller (shown)
rolls your 55-gallon steel drum
at 20 RPM.

Drum rotating speed

• Choose fixed drum rotating speed of 10, 20 or 30 RPM. The 20 RPM speed is good for most liquids.
• Variable speed models provide drum rotating from 0 to 40 RPM. Speed is regulated easily.

Four drive and four idler wheels per drum

Eliminate:

• Spills and splashing of dangerous contents on workers
• Risk of contamination
• Transfer and clean-up
• Special vessels and apparatus

Roll your 55-gallon plastic drum
on stationary drum rollers. These options provide extra wheels to support a flexible soft sided 55-gallon plastic drum which lacks ribs or roll rings, and an end stop to prevent your plastic drum from traveling lengthways while being rolled.

• Option # POLY-1-5154 for single drum roller
• Option # POLY-2-5154 for double drum roller

Extends the usefulness of the rotator to roll 1 to 5 gallon cylindrical cans and pails. It comes complete with adjustable spacers and mounts.

• Option # 1-5-1 (shown)
  Idler Attachment for 1 pail
• Option # 1-5-2
  Pair of Idler Attachments for use with Double Drum Roller

Single Drum Rollers

• Roll a steel drum 6 to 28 (15 to 71 cm) diameter and up to 40 (102 cm) long, or Idler Attachment to roll 1 to 5-gallon pail
• Add option to roll plastic drum(s)
• 1/2 HP motor drives efficient worm gear reducer connected to solid 1" (2.54 cm) diameter shaft to turn four 6" (15 cm) diameter Neoprene drive wheels
• Base dimensions: 24" x 55" (61 cm x 140 cm)
• Capacity: see Drum Rotator Chart

Variable Speed Drum Rotators (not shown)

• Variable Frequency Drive allows user to vary drum speed from 0 to 40 RPM
• Ideal for experimental use - Some users prefer fast initial rolling and reduced speed for continued, gentle agitation
• Handles same drum weights at corresponding speeds as fixed speed models

Double Drum Rollers have twice the capacity

• Roll one or two steel drums at a time 6 to 28 (15 to 71 cm)  diameter and up to 40 (102 cm) long
• Add option to roll plastic drum(s), or Idler Attachment to roll 1 to 5-gallon pail

• Capacity: see Drum Rotator Chart

Double Variable Speed Drum Rotators (not shown)

• Variable Frequency Drive allows user to vary drum speed from 0 to 40 RPM
• Ideal for experimental use - Some users prefer fast initial rolling and reduced speed for continued, gentle agitation
• Handles same drum weights at corresponding speeds as fixed speed models

Advantages of Variable Speed Drive controller:

• The soft start / stop reduce mechanical and electric stress prolonging life of equipment
• Ability to integrate into factory automation
• Energy savings
• Low motor starting current
• Simple installation
• High power factor

Programmable digital and analog I/O allow the drive to be configured for many application specific tasks such as multiple preset speeds, electronic braking and motor jogging, to name a few.

The integral disconnect switch offers the ability to isolate the motor for maintenance and servicing. Also the disconnect switch handle is lockable and is made of red and yellow materials for high visibility.

Standard Stationary Drum Rotators 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.

Models are available with 50 Hz motors, however, expect a 20% reduction in drum RPM compared to 60Hz models.

Air motors are vane-type and require correctly sized filter, regulator, lubricator, valve (FRL) and piping supplied by customer. Air Motor Technical Information

• Filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) may be ordered from Morse
  • Part # 90010-P   Description: KIT, 1/4" FRL & VALVE
  • Part # 90020-P   Description: KIT, 3/8" FRL & VALVE

Install Morse Rotators in accordance with OSHA requirements for enclosure and interlock, etc. 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.
