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.

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.
