Mixer design with reusable magnet

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a device for stirring that includes a magnetic material. The magnetic material is disposed within a housing (210), and the housing includes a cup and a cover. The housing encapsulates the magnetic material, and the magnetic material is non-rotatable within the housing. The device also includes an agitator (230) connected to at least a portion of the housing, the agitator including a sleeve and a plurality of vanes. The housing, magnetic material, and agitator are configured to selectively rotate about an axis of rotation. Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method for manufacturing a device for stirring. The method includes encapsulating a magnetic material in a housing, the housing including a cup and a cover. The method includes joining the cup and the cover with a mating connection. The method also includes overmolding an agitator over at least a portion of the housing, where the agitator covers the mating connection.
