Why does the Ocmer planetary mixer have a shorter scraper blade tail than many?
The good mixing action of Ocmer’s blades allows faster and more complete cleanout; it simply does not need a wide scraper tail to clean out efficiently. A larger tail causes dead spots in the mixer which increases the mixing time, or reduces homogeneity of the mix. Another manufacturer’s attempt to give fast cleanout is to use a descending scraper blade. This is both unnecessary in Ocmer mixers and elaborate, giving higher maintenance costs in those that use them.
