1.0 SAFETY WARNINGS
Please read and observe all warnings contained in this operations manual before any
attempt to operate the equipment.
Misuse of Equipment
Misuse of the Equipment can cause serious injury. Use the equipment only for its
intended purpose. Care should be taken to prevent over pressurization of the pump or
accessories connected to it. Use only proper parts in good condition. Use the pump only
with compatible fluids. Improper use or misuse of this equipment could result in fluid
being splashed on the skin or in the eyes, serious bodily injury, property damage, fire or
explosion.
Make daily check on the equipment and repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
Do not alter this equipment, doing so could cause it to function incorrectly and could
cause serious injury.
Material & Fluid compatibility
Always ensure the chemical compatibility of the fluids and solvents with the wetted parts
in the pump and any components. Check the fluid manufacturer’s data sheets and
specifications before using the fluids or solvents in this pump.
Pressurized Hoses
Because the hoses are pressurized, they present a danger should the fluid escape at
high pressure. This escaping fluid pressure can spray out and cause serious bodily
injury or property damage. Ensure that the hoses do not leak or rupture due to wear,
misuse or damage.
The hoses should be handled properly - do not pull on the hoses to move the equipment
around. Use the hoses only for fluids in which they are compatible both for the inner
liner of the hose and the outer covering. Use care not to exceed the temperature rating
of the hose.
Before each use, ensure that the fluid couplings are tight and that the entire length of
hose is not worn or damaged. Check the entire hose for leaks, bulging cover, damage,
abrasion or cuts. These conditions may cause the hose to fail that could result in
splashing of pressurized fluid on the skin, or in the eyes and cause serious bodily injury
or property damage.
Pressure Specification
The maximum working fluid pressure of this equipment is 180 psi (12.5bar) at the
maximum incoming air pressure of 180 psi (12.5bar). Ensure all equipment and
accessories used with this pump are rated to withstand the maximum working pressure
of this mixer. Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the mixer or any device
attached to air.

2.0 INSTALLATION TIPS AND OPERATIONS
THROUGH BUNG AIR DRUM MIXER OPERATING TIPS:
We have installed an 8" blade on the mixer to get maximum pull of heavy materials from the
bottom of the drum. Upper blades are 6" to help clear the side of the drum as the mixer comes
through the bung.
NOTE: If you do Not have a Center bung in your drum: To prevent blades from hitting
the sides, we recommend taking an 18" piece of 2" pipe threaded on one end and screw into
your bung, gently!! pull the top of the pipe away from the center of the drum tilting the bung for
better mixer clearance. Reverse of this is bung bend procedure is easy after mixing if desired.
It does not take much to get this clearance.
Depending on the viscosity of the material and speed determines the amount of air that you will
need. Usually one mixes at a slower speed and can get by on a 10-15 CFM air compressor.
Try to give your product a good 15-20 min. mix. Remember, slower speeds do not entrain as
much air into the material, but you need to pull some vortex to get good mix.
Looking from the top down over the air motor, the rotation should be clockwise for
proper swing-out of the blades.
Some products are the type that set up or seize the folding blades if they set out in the open air.
We have found a relative easy way to clean the blade. Make sure that you are in a SAFE
BREATHING AND NON FIRE HAZARD AREA. Since the blades are stainless steel a welding
cutting torch works well to actually burn off the hardened material, and then lubricate the hinge
parts with WD-40 or any equivalent. Working them together will bring them back to a loose
swing out state again. You do NOT need to get the metal red hot !
You can use the 3/8” needle valve as a metering or speed control. A small amount of air tool oil
in the air inlet helps to lubricate the air motor. If you have moisture in your air, in long-mixing,
the muffler can cause freezing. Simply take the muffler apart and wash in warm water and dry
out.
Try NOT to drop the air motor on the hex top cap, it is plastic! Parts are available.
THIS MIXER WILL WORK FOR MANY YEARS WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE.
The DM -101 Drum Mixer is a very effective tool in mixing in 55 gallon drums. Complete mixing
can be achieved in short periods of time, usually within 30 minutes. The unique design of the
blade allows the mixing blade to pass through the 2” NPT opening in the drum. With two -6”
and one 8” blade, optimum mixing is achieved throughout the drum.

Tips:
Don’t pull too deep of
vortex.
on Vortex
This will entrain air.
A vortex is always
vertical.
Tilting the barrel will help
keep from entraining air
into your product
Technical Specifications
For proper mixing the blades should be 1/3 the diameter of the drum,
24” drum needs a 8” blade.
Auger type mixers don’t work.
Mix time: ½ hour
ISO Drum – Never mix! Only use in the “B” Resin drum.
IPM sells these 6” & 8” mixer blades
Collapsible Mixer Blades
No, you do not need to use a drum mixer in the Spray Polyurethane
Foam Industry but, if you are using the fast set coatings like the
Polyurea’s, then the “B” Component does need to be mixed.
