R16 overhead stirrer R50D overhead stirrer R18 overhead stirrer

CAT Powerful Overhead Mixers and Stirrers

Overhead stirers are stand-mounted stirring motors with adjustable chucks to fit stainless steel paddles.
The stainless steel paddles are interchangable and have various blade types being suitable for different applications.
These stirrers are suitable for general mixing at speeds up to 2000rpm and for batch sizes up to 200 litres depending on the drives power.
(For high speed mixing including emulsions and very fine dispersion please see our homogeniser range.)

CAT have been manufacturing Laboratory equipment in Germany since 1976, and all products are
still built in Germany to high quality German Standards and are sold with a 2 year warranty.

Stirring motions : Axial, Radial and Tangential Flow

Stirring movements

Axial flow- creates low shear top to bottom movement of fluids and is good for stratification and suspensions.

Radial flow - creates sideways and then either up or down movement of fluids, before returning to the center. Creates high-shear for applications like emulsification. Less flow compared to axial flow.

Tangential flow - creates horizontally movement of fluid around the vessel. Best for mixing high-viscosity materials at low to medium speeds. Shear is low with little vertical flow.
