What is a forced action mixer?
A forced action mixer is a highly efficient and robust machine designed for mixing a variety of materials such as resins, screeds, plaster, mortar, and lime mortar.
How does a forced action mixer work?
Unlike traditional cement mixers that use a rotating drum and rely on gravity, a forced action mixer uses a static drum with internal paddles or blades that forcefully mix materials to achieve a consistent blend. This type of mixer is especially popular for applications requiring thorough mixing.
How do you clean a forced action mixer?
After discharging the mixed material, follow these tips:
- Immediately Rinse – Use a hose or bucket of water to rinse out the drum and paddles while the mixer is still wet, making it easier to remove residual material.
- Scrape Away Excess – Use a spatula or similar tool to scrape away any excess material from the paddles and sides of the drum.
- Deep Clean – For a more thorough clean, especially after using materials that harden quickly, fill the drum with water and a cleaning agent recommended by the manufacturer, then run the mixer for several minutes before emptying.
- Dry and Inspect – Once cleaned, allow the mixer to dry completely. Inspect the mixer for any signs of wear or damage, especially on the paddles and within the drum.
