PPG SEMCO® 285-B is a battery-powered mixer intended for the mixing of sealants, adhesives, potting compounds, and other materials packaged in Semco cartridges or SEMKIT® packages. The unit is designed to offer the convenience of a lightweight, portable mixing solution without the hassle of an electric cord or air hose. The spindle assembly rotates the mixing rod at the proper speed while the operator strokes the cartridges vertically along the length of the mixing rod. The result is a more consistent, uniform mix from kit to kit and avoids the quality problems of operators attempting non–approved methods of mixing sealants.
The mixer weighs approximately 8 lb. It is equipped with a handle for ease of portability. The high torque motor is of heavy-duty construction to withstand the rigors of industrial use. Each unit comes with a 20 V lithium-ion battery, a charger base and cord. Charger cords are readily available with electric plugs to fit US, UK, EU or AU outlets.
