Mixer Drives

Mixers are used in a wide range of machinery to combine and condition different materials. Common materials are rubber, plastics, and bread dough. These materials often change viscosity during the mixing process, and high starting torque is typical. Operation over a wide speed range is also common.

Historically run by DC equipment, today’s AC motors & drives easily provide the high torque and tight regulation required of mixers. Available in sizes from 20 to 2000hp, IDS AC drives are an excellent choice for mixer applications. IDS drives provide both the high torque and constant speed over a wide range of viscosities, and can detect overloads to prevent equipment damage.
