Stationary Drum Rollers
Rotating drums to mix or blend material inside a closed drum saves time, labor and money. Rotate a drum to mix the contents, and ensure homogeneity with fewer hazards. Remix settled or stratified ingredients. Raise and redistribute solids that have settled during shipping and storage.
Key features
- Roll standard 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum to mix contents
- 1-5154 Series Single Drum Rollers roll one drum
- 2-5154 Series Double Drum Rollers roll 1 or 2 drums at a time
- Drum rolls on 4 drive and 4 idler wheels
- Roll Drums with 6" to 28" (15 to 71 cm) diameter, up to 40" (102 cm) tall
- Models available with fixed or variable drum rotating speeds
- Variable speed drum rollers rotate at any speed from 1 to 30 RPM
- Fixed speed drum rollers rotate at 20 RPM
- Load with your hoist or crane with Model 41 Drum Lifting Hook or Model 42 Heavy-Duty Drum Lifter, or with a MORStak Drum Racker
- Maximum ambient operating temperature: 140o F (60o C)
- To roll a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic drum, factory install Option # POLY-1-5154 on a single drum roller, or Option # POLY-2-5154 on a double drum roller
- To field install, use Kit # POLY-1-5154FI for a single drum roller, or Kit # POLY-2-5154FI for a double drum roller
- To roll 1-to-5 gallon can, install Option # 1-5-1 Idler Attachment for Single Drum Roller, or Option # 1-5-2 Pair of Idler Attachments for Double Drum Roller
- Capacity per Drum:
- 1000 Lb. (455 kg) with Liquid load in drum
- 300 Lb. (136 kg) with Dry load in drum
A shifting dry load exerts greater stress on the drum rotator than the fluid motion of a liquid load
Address Safety Issues - Mixing contents inside a sealed drum eliminates the risks of spills and splashing of dangerous contents on workers during transfer, and greatly reduces clean-up, and the risk of contamination. It also eliminates use of special mixing vessels.

Morse 1-5154 Series Single Stationary Drum Rollers roll one 55-gallon (210 liter) steel drum.

Morse 2-5154 Series Double Stationary Drum Rollers allow you to roll 1 or 2 drums at a time.
Models are available with fixed or variable drum rotating speeds. Variable Speed Stationary Drum Rollers rotate your drum at any speed from 1 to 30 RPM. Select the best speed for each material. Enables you to use high speed for initial mixing, then low speed for prolonged agitation. Fixed Speed Stationary Drum Rollers roll a 22.5" diameter drum 20 RPM. The 20 RPM speed is effective for mixing most liquids. Variable speed drum rollers are ideal for experimental use, or where you need to blend a variety of materials.

Combine three components to meet safety requirements:
OSHA requires a guard enclosure with safety interlock, so that the rotator will automatically stop running if the enclosure gate is opened.

- Control Package (sold separately)
- Guard Enclosure Kit (sold separately)

OPTIONS and ACCESSORIES

To roll a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic drum, factory install Option # POLY-1-5154 on a single drum roller, or Option # POLY-2-5154 on a double drum roller.

Install Option to roll a 1 to 5 gallon size can or pail
- Option # 1-5-1 Idler Attachment for Single Drum Roller
- Option # 1-5-2 Pair of Idler Attachments for Double Drum Roller
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.
Only NON-Explosion Proof AC Control Packages include a pre-wired control box. 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. Air powered model 1-5154-A requires plant air at 20 PSI and flowing at a rate of 22 SCFM. Air powered model 2-5154-A requires plant air at PSI and flowing at a rate of 40 SCFM.
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."
