SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - Sep 20, 2011) - Sharpe Mixers is introducing a new quick-lock mounting system for their portable mixers that is standard equipment and lets users install and reposition the mixers on a tank without tools. This patent-pending design features interlocking wedge components which provide substantial locking force and allow the use of ergonomic hand wheels rather than wrenches and keys.

The Sharpe M5 Quick-Lock Mounting System for their line of clamp-mount and cup-plate mounted portable mixers eliminates the need for tools. Featuring ergonomic hand wheels rather than bolts and T-handles, users can now install and reposition their portable mixers by hand and for those who want added leverage, the wheels include a hexagonal base to accept an open-end wrench.

Incorporating interlocking wedge components that provide enhanced locking force when the wheels are turned by hand, the Sharpe M5 Quick-Lock Mounting System is constructed from stainless steel. For their portable sanitary mixers the hand wheels are also made from stainless steel and for the standard line of portable mixers they are aluminum and chrome-plated.

The Sharpe M5 Quick-Lock Mounting System is standard on their full line of portable mixers which are priced from $1,295.00 and up; available from stock.
