THE MIXER YOU CAN USE ANYWHERE This mixer is safe. Its motor is totally enclosed, explosionproof — approved by U/L for Class I, Group D, and for Class II, Groups E, F and G, service. It's a heavy-duty mixer, designed for continuous operation. Using it, you can quickly bring 50 gallons of low-viscosity fluids to uniformity, or mix smaller quan tities of high-viscosity fluids. It's a good tool for suspending solids, dispersing gas or studying mass transfer and heat transfer. Put it into a pilot-plant setup and you can derive accurate mixing data for scale-up computations. It's a LIGHTNIN Mixer—Model XP. Like all LIGHTNIN Mixers, it's fully guaran teed. The 1/20-hp motor turns the 24inch stainless steel shaft and 2%-inch propeller at a constant 1750 rpm. Bear ings that never need lubrication support the motor shaft. An extra sealed bearing steadies the tube holding the shaft, for true running with minimum deflection. Bronze tank clamp and ball-joint mount ing permit locking the mixer at any angle. Order it from your supply house, or write us. Specify LIGHTNIN Model XP Mixer: With motor lead wires but without cord, for l l O v 60cy l p h $130.00 There's a full line of heavy-duty LIGHTNIN Mixers and accessories for the labora tory. Bulletin B112 describes them all. To receive it, check reader service card or write us.
