Mixing

The results of strength testing of cement and other materials such as Lime and Fly Ash are dependent on the method and the quality of equipment used.

The correct mixing sequence and homogenity of mix is important if consistent, repeatable test results are to be obtained. Mixers should be powerful enough to ensure that the motor's speed is not affected by the mix constituents; so designed as to ensure that the mixer action and blade does not break down individual particles.

The ELE Automatic/Manual Mortar Mixer is designed to mix mortars and cement pastes to meet the requirements of EN 196. The mixing paddle has a planetary motion and is driven by a motor with a microprocessor based speed and program controller.

The mixer can be operated in an automatic or manual mode. When the mixer is used in manual mode, the two mixing speeds can be changed by means of a rocker switch, without switching off the motor.

In the automatic mode, any one of the pre-set mixing programmes may be selected.
