[su_spoiler title=”More Info” style=”fancy” icon=”arrow”]The Whip Mix VAC-U-MIXER allows thorough spatulating of stones, plasters, die materials, investments and alginates under vacuum to produce smooth, dense, detailed casts or impressions. Every VAC-U-MIXER size can be driven by both the COMBINATION UNIT or the VACUUM POWER MIXER PLUS.
Easy Operation: Simply insert drive nut in the drive chuck of your vacuum-mixing unit and the VAC-U-MIXER will do the rest. To avoid contamination, separate VAC-U-MIXERS should be used for mixing phosphate investments, alginates and gypsum materials.
The #4450, 300 mL size with a Teflon-coated paddle for easy cleanup is recommended for alginates. The VAC-U-MIXER is available in five sizes to satisfy the needs of any office or laboratory. These mixers provide a range of capacities from 25 grams to 1000 grams.
Sturdy construction ensures trouble-free operation; bowls are rigid clear plastic or stainless steel (#7600, 1200 cc). All models have stainless steel paddles and shafts. Provide a description of your present equipment and materials to be mixed when you order so that proper drive nuts will be supplied. Vac-U-Spat
The VAC-U-SPAT permits spatulating and investing of inlay, crown, and bridge patterns completely under vacuum. The resulting castings are smooth and bubble-free.

Flexible Vac-U-Mixer Bowls
[su_spoiler title=”More Info” style=”fancy” icon=”arrow”]The Flexible Vac-U-Mixer is what technicians have been asking for … A smart alternative to hard plastic mixing bowls. Few things frustrate dental assistants or model technicians more than stone that has hardened in an expensive bowl. They must scrape the bowl manually, often damaging it beyond use. Many times, the hardened stone cannot be removed at all. Enter the revolutionary Flexible Vac-U-Mixer for the Vacuum Power Mixer, Combination Unit and VPM2. With just a firm squeeze, the technician can crack and release a majority of the hardened stone without damaging the bowl. The Flexible bowl has a higher impact resistance than a standard mixing bowl.
The Flexible Vac-u-Mixer Advantage:
- First ever flexible bowl
- Twice as durable as standard mixing bowl Firm squeeze releases hardened stone
- Easy Clean up Visual indicators of the max fill line
- Prevents overfilling the bowl which can result in damage to mixing unit Larger opening for easier hand access
- Contoured for easy spatula access Flexible bowl for mixing investments and gypsums under vacuum Available in 350 gram & 650 gram bowls

Replacement Parts for Vacuum Mixers
[su_spoiler title=”More Info” style=”fancy” icon=”arrow”]Drive Nuts and Chucks
Whip Mix driving motors provide two basic speeds. High speed at 1725 rpm is recommended only for vacuum-investing with the 200 mL or 300 mL VAC-U-SPAT. Because of its small paddle diameter, the VAC-U-SPAT gives the most uniform results with all inlay investments with high speed spatulation.
Low speed at 425 rpm is recommended for all VAC-U-MIXERS when spatulating gypsum materials, alginates and large quantities of investments. The POWER-MIXER with Vacuum provides only low speed. But the COMBINATION UNIT has two drive speeds: the rear Drive Chuck #6108 is the high speed at 1725 rpm, and front is the low speed at 425 rpm. Drive Nuts on the mixing units and corresponding drive chucks on motors have been designed to prevent the interchange of a mixing unit between these two speeds.
Also, the directions of rotation of the drive chucks for these speeds is opposite. The high speed drive chucks of the discontinued VAC-U-VESTOR and the COMBINATION UNIT require a Left-Hand thread for the paddle shaft and drive nut. The low speed drives of the COMBINATION UNIT, and the POWERMIXER with Vacuum, need a Right-Hand thread for the paddle shaft and drive nut.
It is important, therefore, that the proper drive nut is specified whenever a mixing unit is ordered. And when adapting a mixer already in use the thread direction must be considered — sometimes the entire paddle assembly must be changed.
