MATERIALS & MIXING RECOMMENDATIONS

Paddle Mixing & Machine Mixing Guide For Flooring Materials & Screed

MATERIAL PADDLE MIXING MACHINE MIXING
EPOXY TOPPINGS & MORTARS

Epoxy paints, high build coating & self-levelling toppings

Epoxy floor coatings require thorough mixing before application

Most epoxies benefit from being mixed at slow speeds, under 300rpm, to minimise air entrainment

The MM22 MEGAMIXER with an MR3R spiral design paddle is recommended; suitable paddle sizes are 4in or 5in   

For mixing larger container sizes of epoxy coatings use the RM32 ROTAMIXER

This mixer will continuously mix 25kg batches in about 2 minutes, up to 20 mixes an hour

 

Epoxy screeds & mortars

Epoxy mortars can be heavy sticky materials that are hard to mix

Use the slower speed MM22 or MM30 MEGAMIXERS with a 5in or 6in MR4 screw type paddle

The MZR21 with twin contra-rotating paddles gives the most thorough mix action for heavy mortars and also has the easiest mix action

The RM65 ROTAMIXER will mix up to two x 25kg bags of epoxy mortar, thoroughly and quickly

CEMENTITIOUS TOPPINGS & MORTARS

Latex & self-levelling toppings

Latex and cement based floor toppings and self-levellers require thorough mixing before application

Unlike epoxies, cement based pourable toppings benefit from being mixed at faster speeds, about 500rpm, to disperse the powders into the liquid

The MM19, MM21 and MM29 are suitable single speed MEGAMIXERS. The MM22 and MM30 are two speed MEGAMIXERS that can be run at 500rpm for cement based toppings or slower for mortars. An MR3 4in or 5in spiral design paddle is recommended

The RM32 rotary drum mixer thoroughly mix latex and cementitious self-levellers

Polymer screeds

Polymer screeds are normally used in large volumes and need a constant supply of mixed material

The MM29 or MM30 MEGAMIXERS with an MR3 6in paddle are recommended if a mixer drill is prefered

Screeds are normally mixed in larger batches and should be mixed using the RMX100 or RMX200 ROTAMIXERS
