Small Stirrer for pigments

[RobWard]

I wonder if anyone can help me?
We have some machines on which there are various pigments. These are pumped down small tubes where they are mixed into the product. The pigment is in a suspension and if it settles out, can block a tube which will then burst, creating a lot of problems (and mess!).
I need to find a small electric stirrer that I can mount on top of the pigment tanks (diameter of tanks, 130mm), that will rotate at about 60 rpm, all day, every day, preferably 230V a.c. (to make the wiring job simpler).
I cannot even find a suitable motor that I can use to make my own stirrer.
I need to make at least 10, so price is an issue (we're only a small company)
Any help or advice would be welcome.

I used to work for a paint equipment company that made colorant dispenser. Our stirers operated in about that range...

You might want to contact them and see if you can buy just the motors, they were designed to fit in a lid on top on the canister. I bet they will sell you the whole motor, lid and agitator assy.

Wait a minute, those are all 110VAC motors, don't bother. If you are willing to look at them though, go to any hardware store that has a colorant tinting machine in the paint department.

Sorry, didn't read the whole post.
