To select the appropriate Caframo mixer, evaluate your specific mixing requirements such as speed range, sample volume, and viscosity. Additionally, consider the necessary torque, desired features like digital displays or programmable settings, and choose an impeller that suits your vessel size and preferred mixing pattern.
When choosing a Caframo mixer consider these main factors in order to find the right mixer for each application.
Calculate the speed requirements of the application and choose a Caframo mixer within that speed range.
Calculate the torque requirements of the application and ensure the Caframo mixer being used can maintain that torque level.
Take into consideration the volume of liquid being mixed. Ensure the Caframo mixer being used is able to mix those volumes.
Calculate the viscosity of the fluids being mixed. If the fluid is higher viscosity use a mixer that can handle the torque requirements.
Take into consider the available space in the application. If the application is compact consider using a compact or petite mixer.
Consider the demands of the application, such as reverse direction and auto-start and stop. if these are needed choose a mixer with these capabilities.
Use these additional factors to ensure the Caframo mixer being used is the optimal choice for the application.
Consider the feature needs of the application such as digital displays, timers, and data logging. Ensure the mixer being used has these features.
Caframo manufactures mixers with various power voltage and region requirements. Ensure the mixer being used is compatible with the power supply of the application.
Consider the impellers being used in the application and choose a Caframo mixer that is compatible with those impellers.
Consider the safety requirements of the application and choose a Caframo mixer that has the safety features needed for the application. Such as auto overheating and torque overload auto shut off.

Overhead stirrers are motor-driven devices used to mix or homogenize liquids, particularly those with high viscosity or large volumes, by suspending a stirring rod above the container. They consist of a motor, a stirring rod or impeller, and an adjustable stand for stability and height control. Commonly used in chemistry, biology, pharmacy, and food science, they ensure consistent and thorough mixing for sample preparation and formulation. These stirrers handle high-viscosity substances, offer variable speed settings for precise control, and are ideal for scaling up production.
Overhead stirrers are mixing devices used for stirring and mixing various fluids. These are commonly used in applications where magnetic stirrers are not compatible.
Caframo is a Canadian manufacturer located in Wiarton Ontario. They manufacture high quality mixers, fans, and motors.
Caframo mixers are known for their exceptional quality and durability, making them a reliable choice for laboratory and industrial mixing applications. Built with precision engineering and high-quality materials, these mixers are designed to withstand continuous use, even in demanding environments. Their robust construction ensures longevity, while advanced motor technology provides consistent performance with minimal maintenance. Caframo mixers are resistant to wear and tear, capable of handling high-viscosity substances, and engineered for smooth, vibration-free operation. With a reputation for reliability, they offer users a dependable solution for precise and efficient mixing, ensuring long-term value and superior performance.
When deciding whether to use a mixer or stirrer for a specific application, it’s important to consider the volume, viscosity, and desired mixing outcome. Caframo mixers, specifically overhead stirrers, are designed to deliver higher torque and power, making them ideal for handling large volumes or highly viscous samples. They are particularly well-suited for demanding tasks such as emulsifying, dispersing, or mixing thick solutions. Models like the Ultra Torque 1850 even include safety features such as a Totally Enclosed, Non-Ventilated (TENV) housing for working with powders or hazardous materials. On the other hand, Caframo stirrers offer greater versatility and are suitable for a broader range of laboratory processes, including those involving smaller volumes. With compact designs—such as the BDC2002—and user-friendly features like Stirlight™ and Auto Start, stirrers are often preferred for use in confined spaces like fume hoods. Ultimately, overhead mixers are the better choice for high-power applications, while stirrers provide a flexible solution for general-purpose mixing across various viscosities and volumes.
