Abstract
A device for mixing paints, varnishes and liquid products in general comprises a support unit for the liquid products, which is intended to support and clamp at least one container. A series of sensors is associated with the device in order to provide signals indicative of a characteristic of the container or of the liquid products, for example, the size of the container. Further sensors provide signals indicative of the position of the support unit during its mixing movement. Further signals coming from units outside the device, together with any data input by an operator, contribute to the selection and the control of the sequence or mode of operation in a mixing method including the steps of starting, regulating and stopping a main motor and an auxiliary motor for clamping and releasing the container and for locking the support unit in a predetermined starting position which corresponds to a final position upon completion of the mixing.
