Top 10 Construction Mixers

The construction mixer completely replaced conventional drills in cases where it is necessary to prepare a plaster or cement-sand mortar. This device allows you to quickly and accurately mix dry mixtures with water, mix with glue or paintwork material. Today, mixers have become more affordable, so you can find a tool not only in the hands of professionals, but also among home craftsmen. In order to choose the model that is optimal in terms of technical parameters, one should heed the advice of our experts.

How to choose a construction mixer

1. Power. One of the most important parameters of the construction mixer experts believe engine power. This parameter must be selected taking into account the amount of work to be done.
2. Professionals fit models with a power of 1200-1800 W, they do not overheat when mixing large volumes of solution.
3. For household goals enough tool equipped with an electric motor 500-1000 watts.
4. Rotational speed (speed). Even with the same motor power, mixers may differ in the speed of rotation of the spindle at idle. For mixing thick and viscous substances suitable model with a small number of revolutions (500-650 r / min). And to get a homogeneous mass, it is better to use high-speed mixers (700-900 rpm). Professionals choose two-speed devices that allow you to set the speed of rotation depending on the type of mortar.
5. Adjustment of turns. Many builders begin the process of mixing with the gradual addition to the water of a dry composition and subsequent slow mixing. With increasing density, you have to add the number of revolutions. This task is best done by devices with electronic speed control.
6. Torque. Very thick and viscous solutions have a serious load on the motor and the mixer gearbox. Therefore, you should take into account such a parameter as the force of rotation or torque. The higher it is, the more viscous compositions the tool can work without overheating. Most often, 50-60 Nm is sufficient for the preparation of most mortars. For the thickest formulations, it is better to give preference to devices with a torque of 70-85 Nm.
7. Number of spindles. There are mainly single spindle mixers on sale. They are simple and reliable, only when rotating, the tool shifts towards the direction of rotation of the whisk. On models with two spindles, the nozzles rotate in the opposite direction. Therefore, these mixers are more convenient for intensive work.

We have selected 10 best construction mixers to review. All of them are implemented in the Russian trade network. The distribution of places in the rating took into account the opinion of experts and feedback from domestic builders.
