Mortar Mixer
A mortar mixer is a laboratory or construction equipment used for preparing uniform and consistent mortar mixes by thoroughly blending cement, sand, and water. Unlike conventional concrete mixers, a mortar mixer is specifically designed with blades or paddles that ensure complete mixing of fine aggregates and cement paste without segregation. It provides homogeneous mixes, which are essential for quality testing and construction applications. Mortar mixers are commonly used in research labs, construction sites, and material testing facilities.
Properties:-
- Mixing Mechanism: Equipped with rotating paddles or blades that ensure uniform blending of cementitious materials and sand.
- Capacity: Available in different capacities (commonly 5 L, 10 L, or more) depending on laboratory or field requirements.
- Speed Control: Many mixers offer variable speed options (slow and fast) for different stages of mixing.
- Durability: Constructed with a heavy-duty steel body and corrosion-resistant bowl for long-term use.
- Tilting Bowl: Some models include a tilting or removable mixing bowl for easy emptying and cleaning.
- Compliance: Designed to meet international testing standards such as ASTM, IS, or EN for mortar preparation.
- Motorized Operation: Runs on electric motor with stable transmission for smooth performance.
- Safety Features: Often equipped with protective covers and automatic cut-off switches for operator safety.
- Ease of Cleaning: Smooth internal surfaces and detachable components reduce cleaning effort.
- Applications: Used in laboratories for mortar strength testing, workability studies, and in construction for batch preparation.
