General Rotator

The STR4 rotator drive unit is used in conjunction with a wide range of drums designed to take different sizes and types of vessels. The five drums are designed to give different mixing actions.
Speed of rotation is variable from 6 to 60rpm for a range of mixing applications.

For added convenience a built in analogue timer can be set from 10 to 60 minutes. Alternatively the unit can be set for continuous operation.
