If you’ve ever tried mixing a drum full of product with an open-top mixer, you already know how much of a mess it can be. Splashes, fumes, cleanup — and don’t even get us started on the safety risks. From experience, what we can say is... start using the 309 Series Drum Tumbler from Morse, and honestly, you'll never going back.

This mixer rotates the entire drum while it's sealed shut — which means no more sticking a mixer down into the contents, no more leaks, and no more inhaling whatever’s inside. It’s just a smarter, safer way to get the job done.

What Makes the 309 Series a Game Changer?

Mix Without Ever Opening the Drum

Seriously — you just lift your upright drum into the tumbler using a hoist and the Morse 92 Drum Lifter, close the gate, and let it do its thing. The drum stays completely sealed the whole time.

Complies With Safety Regs

Working in an industrial setting, we can’t take shortcuts — and this unit meets OSHA, CSA, and EU safety standards. Just make sure you use it with the proper enclosure and interlock. Your safety officer (and your lungs) will thank you.

It Actually Mixes Properly

If you’ve got product with sediment, layers, or stuff that just doesn’t like to blend — this tumbler gets it fully homogenized. I use it for both thick and thin liquids, and it mixes far better than those old stick mixers ever did.
