Gelatin Colour Mixer
A Gelatin Colour Mixer is a semi-automatic machine used for mixing color and another additive with melted gelatin mass. The machine is provided with an in-built hydraulic system to lift / down the top lid. The top lid has an I-bolt to fix the jacketed storage vessel with it. The stirrer is detachable from the main shaft which enhances the ease of cleaning. The main control panel is located at the back side of the machine and is provided with various ON /OFF switches, START / STOP push buttons, and indicators. The main stirrer motor is coupled with a gearbox which gives an output RPM of 29.
