ACUMIX Portable Mixers: How to select a portable mixer for blending, dilution (dissolving), or heat transfer. Determine the volume (gallons) of fluid to be mixed. Next, to select your portable mixer, determine the viscosity and refer to the tables (charts) below. We have listed below a table of typical viscosities for various liquids for comparison. If you have difficulty determining or estimating your fluids viscosity, call us for an evaluation of your application.

Blend times are generally 5 to 15 minutes. D = Direct Drive (See AQ Models), G = Gear Drive (See AQG Models).
