Abstract
An improved apparatus and method for balancing paint mixers including pivotably supporting a mixing frame assembly and suspending the assembly by at least one spring for mixing a liquid coating using both spin and orbital rotational movements and adjusting the lowest rotational resonant frequencies of the mixing frame assembly to be substantially below the lower of a pair of forcing function frequencies corresponding to the spin and orbit velocities. Optionally one or more dampers may be used to damp pivoting movement of the mixing frame assembly.
