The patented JBW Mixing System is making a difference for the customers who use it, especially in the coatings industry. It is used in drums, tote tanks and tanks up to 5,000 gal depending on viscosity.
James Watkins, president and CEO, is the inventor and patent owner of this mixing system. "When I first started manufacturing and selling the JBW Mixer, I would go into the customers' facility and set the mixer up to demonstrate how well it could mix a drum of paint," he said. "I remember setting up the mixer, turning it on, and after about two minutes, there would be a look of skepticism on the faces of the line personnel. They were watching for splashes and splatters. Invariably someone would point out, "Hey, this thing can't mix this drum of paint. It isn't even making waves." I would ask for another minute after which, skepticism quickly gave way to amazement when the product met all the specifications without making splashes, splatters and waves."
