Mini Mix 150 230 volt

Product Information

Be aware that the power cord is reasonably short at 1.7 m. For those looking to redo an area at the end of their garden, an extension cable will be needed. To use, simply switch the machine on and allow the 550 W motor to do its job. This machine can be plugged into the mains so there’s no need for a transformer.

While this concrete mixer weighs 45.5 kg, it’s fairly manoeuvrable thanks to the two wheels, although it can struggle over uneven ground so is best wheeled over flat areas. Keen DIYers will know the benefit of using a cement mixer. Although mixing cement can be done without one (either mixing by hand or with a paddle mixer) – it’s certainly pretty hard work.

The mixing capacity is a much more useful number to keep an eye on– it will tell you roughly how much you can mix in one go.

Also, not only is this machine lightweight, it’s also supported by two puncture-proof wheels which give more stability across a range of surfaces. Time and Labor Savings: With our mini mixers, you can say goodbye to the hassle of manual mixing and transportation. Our efficient process saves you valuable time and labor, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your project. The volume capacity refers to the volume of the whole drum. Naturally, not all of this will be usable space when mixing. Despite its large size, this cement mixer is manoeuvrable and easy to store. The stand can be removed, meaning the unit can be stored in two parts. Just be aware that the drum unit has wheels on the bottom to aid transportation, but the stand does not. This means that to transport the mixer, you’ll need to take it apart. On the plus side, this cement mixer is reasonably lightweight for its size, weighing 45.5 kg which will help with manoeuvrability.The mixer is fitted with a 550 W motor (significantly more powerful than the ~250 W cement mixers featured here), and has a drum volume of 135 L. The opening of the rotating drum is 38.3 cm, making it possible to easily shovel material. Straight away you might be thinking – why would I buy a small cement mixer when I could just rent a large one? Petrol mixers can be used anywhere and don’t need to be used near a power source– this is why they’re commonly used in professional settings. They tend to be more powerful than electric versions – which may well be unnecessary for standard DIY. The Scheppach ECO MIX Electric Cement Mixer is a reliable yet basic machine. It’s suitable for small/medium DIY jobs and doesn’t overcomplicate things. The machine has a welded bottom drum and fully enclosed cast iron gears. Its motor is protected by labyrinth housing, cooled by dual fans.

The slump of the concrete refers to the material's consistency – how wet it is. Consistency is classified from S1 (0-40mm) through to S4 (160-220mm). The higher the value, the easier the material will be to work with. If you’re only doing jobs around the home, such as mixing concrete for foundations, pathways and drives, you may not need a cement mixer with a huge drum capacity. This mixer uses mains power and has a drum speed of 34 rpm. The angle of the mixer can be adjusted, allowing you to load and unload in the most convenient way. Don’t get caught out when trying to work out the capacity of a mixer. Manufacturers often state both the mixer’s entire volume capacity, as well as how much mixed material it can actually hold.For quantities required, the material calculator is available for guidance, alternatively our sales/technical department will be able to help. As you’ll see from the machines listed below, I recommend using an electric cement mixer for domestic jobs rather than a petrol machine . Mains-powered cement mixers are good value for money, require little maintenance, and don’t emit fumes. The Charles Bentley Portable Cement Mixer is ideal for medium-size DIY projects and offers good value for money. Bear in mind that materials like cement will only be usable for about an hour after being poured from the mixer; therefore, it’s important not to make too much or it will be wasted. For reference, if a cement mixer has an 80 L capacity, its contents will roughly fill a standard wheelbarrow. Ease of Portability and Size It has a 220 W Hyundai engine which creates a powerful and reliable cement mixer. It can be plugged into the mains and has a 3 m cable for easy placement. The drum mouth is 26 cm wide which helps with loading.

When you own a mixer, you may also find that it comes in handy for family and friends as well. Cement can be used to secure parasols, swing sets, fence posts and climbing frames, so a cement mixer might well be in high demand!No matter the size of mixer you choose, look for a model with wheels to help with moving around the house and garden. Assembly takes approximately two hours, which is arguably longer than you might expect for such a small, portable concrete mixer. The instructions need to be followed carefully and there are some videos on YouTube which can make the process easier. This cement mixer is also reasonably noisy, despite its small size. This cement mixer has a drum volume of 120 L which is a good size whether you’re laying paving or redoing a driveway. It has a wide metal drum, suitable for loading with a shovel, and is tall enough to fit a wheelbarrow underneath for unloading. Some smaller, lightweight mixers will weigh around 30 kg. However, it’s not unusual for even small mixers (suitable for small/medium jobs) to weigh between 40 – 60 kg.
