Mixer Operation – Model PMH80
Before starting work please ensure:
•
The mixer is on a firm surface.
•
The motor unit is firmly held in the clamp by tightening the clamp nut.
•
The mixing shaft is firmly tightened onto the motor spindle.
•
The mounting column is secured in position by the lock pin.
The motor unit must be turned off before:
•
Changing Gear
•
Making any adjustment to the machine
•
Dispensing mixed material
•
Manually cleaning canister or mixing shaft.
Keep hands and other objects well clear of mixing canister and helix whilst machine is operating.
Operating Hints
Best results are achieved when:
• Dry ingredients are added gradually while the mixer is running.
• Mixing instructions are accurately followed.
• The mixing helix is totally immersed in the mix.
Mixing Methods
Read material manufacturers mixing instructions before mixing.
DO NOT mix ignitable or toxic materials. Ensure adequate ventilation is provided.
For Dry Materials To Be Mixed With Liquids
1. Measure the correct amount of liquids into the mixing canister. Wet the sides of the canister.
2. Run the mixer on low speed.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the liquid. A 20-25 kg bag of dry ingredients should take about 20-
30 seconds to pour into the mixing canister in a consistent flow.
4. Do Not Dump Product In All At Once Or A Lumpy Mixture Will Result.
5. When three quarters of the dry ingredients have been added to the liquid, the mixer can
then be run on high speed.
6. Add the rest of the ingredients. Ensure that the mixing helix is totally covered . It may be necessary to
select a mixing shaft with a shorter helix to mix a small batch, or a larger helix to mix a full batch. This
will ensure thorough mixing.
