SuperPitch propeller
develops up to 45% more
action than ordinary props
You save by buying a smaller
mixer to begin with. You also save
in electrical power costs over the
many years you use your Lightnin
mixer. (The cost for industrial
equipment is at least $200 per hp
per year.)
The reason is the propeller. The
blades of our SuperPitch prop
have a special contour and a 1.5
pitch ratio. This design creates as
much as 45% more mixing action
than conventional 3-bladed
marine-type props with a 1.0 pitch
ratio. This design also outperforms
every competitive prop we've
tested over the last 18 years. With
Lightnin, you get more mixing for
the horsepower.
In scale-up studies, the SuperPitch

props supplied on Lightnin
portables are geometrically
similar. This permits meaningful
scale up for big production runs.

Our most popular portables
Tens of thousands of these green
Lightnin Model ND mixers are at
work, delivering guaranteed results
around the world. Many are original
ND units, first built in 1960.
HIGH VISCOSITY.
The high torque delivered by
internal gearing is essential for
mixing heavy liquids like
mayonnaise and molasses and
fluids in the 15,000 to 100,000
centipoise range.

For mixing ceramic slips and plaster, for preparing sand for

LARGE BATCHES.
The high torque is very effective in handling
low-viscosity fluids in large batches that are
beyond the range of direct drive units. Soft
drink bottlers, for example, use ND mixers
widely for making up syrup in batches ranging
from 300 to 6000 gallons.
FOUNDRIES.
These heavy-duty workhorses prepare sand for
cores and molds. They mix various washes.
They assist circulation of fluids in metal
quenching. You'll even find them working in
molten metal to help fluxes remove impurities.
DAIRIES.
Lightnin high flow portables prevent rising of
cream in storage tanks. They maintain
circulation in pasteurizers. They achieve
uniformity in ice cream mix and chocolate
drinks, and do all manner of other work in the
dairy. The Lightnin Catalog Store has a

Lightnin high speed, high shear mixers
FOR HIGH FLUID SHEAR.
Direct drive portables are preferred where high
fluid shear is desirable and for small batch
mixing.
Soft drink bottlers, for example, use high
shear models for mixing syrup in quantities
under 300 gallons, but go to high flow drives
for larger volumes.
SIZE SELECTION.
Use us. Tell us the tank and the job to be
done, and let us spec the mixer. We
guarantee results. That's what the Lightnin
Catalog Store is for.

prevents oxidation. Two props are used, positioned so the lower

Lightnin air drives
They operate wherever compressed air is available. On vehicles, in
the field, in lab or factory.
Lightnin air-driven mixers are safe for use in flammable or explosive
environments. No heat build-up. Motor operates spark free.
Speeds can be varied by means of the air control valve. Impossible
to burn out the motor, even with a stalling overload. Light weight
makes for easy handling.
For application guidelines for high flow and high shear units, see
page 23 on electric mixers, or call the Lightnin Catalog Store.
Clamp may be replaced by cup mounting plate. See pages 4 and 7.

ADJUST-A-MIXTM
AC VARIABLE FREQUENCY MOTOR CONTROL.
Make any AC 3 phase mixer a variable speed.
Solid state circuits convert normal 50 or 60 Hz power to con-
trolled variable frequency power.
Motor output speed is directly proportional to the frequency of
the input power.
Input is 230V, 50 or 60 Hz, single phase current, 3 phase on
some models.
A fractional horsepower unit is available for 115V, 50 or 60 Hz,
single phase current.
Output is 230V, 60 Hz, 3 phase current.
You can retrofit any 230V, 3 phase, 60 Hz, AC mixer in this
book for variable speed control.
