Vary drum rolling speed mix contents of Closed Drum Without Even Opening It!
Key features
- Roll drum to remix settled ingredients
- Eliminate transfer, clean-up, and special vessels
- Use separate drum for each batch
- No container to purge between batches
- Nothing to insert into drum to mix
- Easy to load by hand truck or hoist
- Variable Drum Speed from 5 to 20 RPM (4 to 16 RPM for 50Hz models), based on a 55-gallon (210 liter) drum
- Roll a steel drum: 6" to 26" (15 to 66 cm) diameter; maximum 40" (102 cm) length
- To roll a plastic drum, add Option # POLY-456
- To roll 1-to-5 gallon cylindrical can, install Option # 1-5-1 Idler Attachment
- Maximum ambient operating temperature: 130o F (54o C)
- Control Package and Guard Enclosure each sold separately
- IMPORTANT: OSHA requires enclosure with safety interlock
- Capacity:
- 1000 Lb. (455 kg) Liquid Load
- 400 Lb. (182 kg) Dry Load
Shifting dry load exerts greater stress on drum rotator than fluid motion of liquid load

Morse developed the basic concept to provide "hands-off" drum mixing. Enjoy the benefits of easy, ergonomic loading and unloading and eliminate many hazards of manual drum handling.
Morse Hydra-Lift Drum Rollers accept a drum in upright position at floor level.

You control the hydraulic powered drum tilt to lift the upright drum and place it down on drum rotator wheels.
Start and stop drum rotation with a second control. A standard 55-gallon (210 liter) drum can be rolled from 5 to 20 RPM (4 to 16 RPM on 50Hz models), as desired, to thoroughly mix drum contents. Then return the drum to vertical to unload.

Combine three components (each sold separately) to meet safety requirements:
- Drum Roller
- Control Package
- Guard Enclosure Kit
IMPORTANT: OSHA holds the employer responsible for the suitability of design and application of tools and machinery.
Install all Morse Rotators in accordance with requirements for enclosure and safety interlock, etc. One way to accomplish this is with a Morse enclosure with safety interlock, so the rotator automatically turns off when enclosure door is opened. Power connections and motor controls must also comply with applicable local codes.
For OSHA compliance in the USA, see OSHA subpart O.1910.212(a)(4) "Barrels, containers, and drums. Revolving drums, barrels, and containers shall be guarded by an enclosure which is interlocked with the drive mechanism, so that the barrel, drum, or container cannot revolve unless the guard enclosure is in place."
Available with choice of electric or air motor.
Explosion-proof electric motors available. Only NON-Explosion Proof AC Control Packages include a pre-wired control box.
NEMA 4/12 Control Box includes Timer, Start and Stop Buttons, Red Emergency Stop Button, Lockable Main Disconnect, and Wire terminals for safety interlock switch. NEMA 7/9 Explosion-Proof Control Box includes Start and Stop Buttons, and wire terminals for external connection of safety interlock switch.
Explosion-Proof Control Packages have no wiring from the NEMA 7/9 control box to the motor. Please consult an electrician to complete the wiring in accordance to your local code.
Explosion-Proof motors are rated for Class I Group D, and Class II Groups F & G.
Model 456-A has air motor. Filter, Regulator, Lubricator and Valve are included. Air powered model 456-A requires plant air at 40 to 60 PSI and flowing at a rate of 40 SCFM.
