Merris Puts a New Spin on Paint Mixing

The Spinmix 550 is the latest in a series of highly-regarded commercial paint-mixers from Merris engineering who, over the past 45 years, have established a solid reputation in the construction of paint mixing and dispensing equipment. The user-friendly controls for this innovative paint mixer include push-button operation plus simple on-screen instructions making it very easy to use. Built for strength and performance, the Spinmix 550 has been rigorously designed and solidly constructed to run smoothly for many years and is ideal for heavy-duty applications.

The gyroscopic twists and turns of the Spinmix 550 were designed to mimic the spin devices used to test astronauts and their reactions to weightlessness. These multiple movements ensure rapid mixing and excellent machine stability.

As Managing Director Brendan McGrath commented: “The Merris Spinmix 550 delivers rapid and effective paint mixing for cans of all standard shapes and sizes up to 25 litre capacity. The programmed gyroscopic movements not only produce perfect mixing results but also ensure stability during the mixing operation.”

The unit is constructed around an iron frame to allow for the mixing of maximum-weight paint cans. This gyroscopic device is extremely quiet and stable during operation and produces perfect results.

Key features of this new product include:

• Large revolving sliding door opens within machine footprint.

• Fits all types of can: round, oval, square up to maximum 550mm height.

• Fully-automatic mixing cycle with programmable times to suit different products plus automatic speed adjustment based on can size.

•  Fully CE Certified for the European market and now also cMETus certified for the North American and Canadian markets.

•  Solid steel and aluminium castings for the key working components ensure long life.

•  Control system can be remotely monitored via networks and mobile text messaging for maintenance and diagnostics.
