Hi all,
i need to stir a water vat (33litres) constantly for 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have bought a stirrer off B&Q the ones used to stir paint and plaster etc. Now i need a motor to turn it that is powerful enough and slow enough (about
120rpm would be ok) and that will mount fairly easily on to the lid of the vat.Can anyone think of some household motor i can scavenge for this application? Or any other ideas for a motor suitable?
Ta!

Windscreen wiper motor?
Cannibalise a cement mixer and turn it upside down over the vat.
Angle-grinder!

The nearest thing I have is a close coupled motor/gearbox designed to prevent stratification. Scavenged from our old bulk milk tank.
Single phase, 4 pole motor, flange mounted, totally enclosed,1/8 HP and
42 rpm, bit slower than you suggest but surely you could fit a big s/s paddle. Rather heavy to sit on a plastic lid though.regards
Scrap spit motor from an electric cooker, if you can find one.
I presume a pump is out of the question?

How much crystal meth are you hoping to make?
Yes its a bit slow...but 1/8hp is about right i think power wise.

Find an industrial plant reclaim dealer and see if they have a small morstan mixer kicking about
Do you want it to bottom stir or top stir?
