Company Announcement - The use of spades or similar tools to perform mixing operations often results in a non-homogenous mix of questionable quality. Mayday Equipment identified the need to address this issue, especially when screeds and epoxies are involved, and has introduced a range of handheld power mixers to the market.

Recognising that no two mixing jobs are identical, the Collomix range of handheld power mixers is available in a number of variants. Mayday Equipment will be marketing the Xo1, Xo 6 and Xo 55 Duo models, with a variety of stirrer accessories for various applications. The models have power ratings respectively of 1 010 W, 1 600 W and 1 450 W with mixing volumes of 40, 90 and 90 litres.

All models have been designed for ease of operation. An increase in the height of each handheld power mixer means that operators can stand upright when mixing is being performed. This, together with the ergonomically shaped shell-type handle, eliminates back pain and results in decreased fatigue levels.

The attractive and functional design includes the incorporation of an extremely high performing motor and transmission components as well as acceleration electronics that allow continuously variable RPM control. The counter rotating handheld power mixers are easy to use even in heavy and viscous materials and effectively reduce the mixing time frame by as much as 50%.

The Xo 55 Duo handheld power mixer is equipped with the Hexafix® fast coupling device which ensures tool-less stirrer changes. It is a forced action mixer that incorporates counter rotating stirrers for intensive thorough mixing. The Xo 1 is a compact and lightweight one-gear model that is typically used with WK stirrers for mortar, plaster and screed applications. The Xo 6 is suited to more demanding applications where higher performance levels are required. Used together with the MK stirrer range it is ideal for concrete, heavy mortar and epoxy resin mortar applications.

Different stirrers can be used depending on the viscosity of the liquid and variants are available for liquid, powdery or semi liquid, and powdery materials. All stirrer surfaces are powder coated and have highly stable welded connections and are manufactured from high quality materials to ensure extended life cycles. The circular protective ring protects mixing buckets and provides a smooth and reliable operation.

The handheld power mixers are engineered and built to provide increased operational safety and reliability even in the harshest operating conditions. Mayday Equipment is able to provide a full assessment of customers’ specific requirements together with advice on the best handheld power mixer and stirrer combination for each application.
