MYERS Engineering, Inc. was founded by C.K. “Bud” Myers in the early 1940’s. Bud kept machines running in several defense plants during World War II. At the war’s end, he was installing and repairing mixing equipment. At the urging of customers, he built his own slow speed mixers and agitators with large open impeller blades. Today, Bud’s two sons carry on the day-to-day operation with yet a new generation joining to take the company into its next fifty years.
A modern concrete block building was erected in 1960. Since that time, the company has steadily expanded with factory space over six times that of the original plant.
The MYERS equipment line includes laboratory size mixing units from 2hp to production units up to 300hp. The product line incorporates the simplicity of light mixing or dispersing and let down applications to some of the most complex high viscosity processors on the market today.
As the leader in dual shaft and triple shaft designs, MYERS has perfected application needs from medium to extremely viscous products. Mixers and tanks are jointly engineered adhering to strict code and specification requirements. Tanks are often manufactured at the Bell, California plant to assure that quality demands are met.
Application parameters guide the design team to choose from their library of custom or standard designs that can include single, dual, or tri shaft units with one or two hydraulic or pneumatic lifts, floor mounted or tank mounted, vacuum, low or high pressure, with low and high temperature needs. Their experience covers a depth of knowledge and choices.
With such an impressive arsenal of application history, MYERS has incorporated various design theories and joined them together to accomplish mixing quality not available from other equipment manufacturers. Various blade designs assist in a more uniform tank movement that can decrease mixing time, increase product quality and decrease process costs.
