Paste printing way to thick!

I am printing a ceramic paste through a 160 mesh screen that should have a theoretical wet print thickness of 53um but the only way I can get the print that thin is to increase down stop and slow the stroke. This is causing problems with the mesh, squeegee, and emulsion. I noticed if I don't let the paste cool after mixing the print is the correct thickness without having to abuse any tooling. I have heard of a mechanical paste conditioner that keeps the paste constantly moving while in the screen. Does anyone know anything about equipment like that?
