Uses:

Morse 309-E3-50 universal drum tumbler is used in food & chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries to rotate steel, plastic or fibre drums corner-over-corner for vigorous mixing of drum contents like granules, powders, thick liquids, coarse pellets or wet grains.

Working Mechanism:

Drum tumblers provide a greater shaking motion than simply rolling the drum. They offer free movement of contents from one drum end to the other during agitation. Unlike the drum rollers, drum tumblers are larger and stationary machines. These drum tumblers come in two styles, ensuring thorough mixing to put valuable ingredients back into the suspension within the drum. The tilt-to-load drum tumbler features corner-over-corner tumbling action using an ergonomic power-lift for the drum rotation while the end-over-end drum tumblers hold the drum at the centre and spin the drum end over end.
