Re: [papercreters] Mixer Design



I am wondering about the same thing as far as I thought I saw a square plastic tank with the metal cage 275 gallon as a mixer.  This is by far  the cheapest tank that I can get around here. Michael

We mixed many batches and never seemed to have had any left in the cube, all paper mixed to an even consistency We did our entire project with it and never had any problems. Oh and it was not a small project.

I have been having an interesting discussion off list with Ken about mixer design.

I remember someone mentioning a while back that they intended to use a pickup bed as the tank for a mixer, and in our discussion the question of possible problems with paper collecting in the corners came up. Has anyone actually made a mixer with a pickup bed as the tank? If so, please enlighten us.

Also, Doris, your mixer is a cube. Any problems along those lines? Being cubical and smooth plastic I would think it might be better than a shallow bed, but I have been wrong many times in my life  : )
