Dental vacuum mixers are often used to mix plasters, investments and silicones. These mixers employ a vacuum that yields homogenous and bubble-free compounds. Some features to consider when purchasing a dental vacuum mixer: hands free option, vibration option, electronic programmable timing system and a vacuum-sensing device. Some dental vacuum mixers may offer all of these features and others just one or two. Mounting options can include wall mounted as well as bench mounted. Another thing to consider; if there will be multiple technicians using the dental vacuum mixer, choosing options like hands free and vibration may be wise, this will help ensure consistent compound results. If there is only one user, a dental vacuum mixer sans all the bells and whistles might be sufficient. Be sure to choose a reputable vendor who uses quality materials.
