Pan mixers: The perfect solution for work sites with difficult access

Got the screed mix right? – You are half way through to achieve the perfect screed. But, if access to the site is difficult, the quality of the screed and ultimately that of the entire flooring could get compromised unless the screeder is equipped with the right tools and machinery. Of the several methods of screed mixing ranging from hand mixing to the use of free fall mixers and forced action mixing with screed pumps and pan mixers, the portable pan mixers are the ideal solution for obtaining high quality, homogenously blended screeds when there is constraint of space or difficulty in accessing the work site.

When hand mixing is practical for very small areas, it is impossible to achieve evenly mixed screeds of the desired quality for vast areas using this method. Free fall mixers are the other alternative that many screeders use for the mixing bigger batches of screed. But, not only are these insufficient to obtain a homogenous screed mix, the screed mix produced by free fall mixers are more prone to balling and crush easily under impact.

Forced action mixers on the other hand produce high quality, homogenous screed mixes quickly and efficiently. When screed pumps are ideal for forced action mixing of large quantities, pan mixers are sufficient for forced action mixing of smaller quantities.

Pan mixers are also extremely useful for mixing screeds in areas where access is difficult. As pan mixers are portable and easy to transport, they can be used to produce the same high quality forced action screed mixes at sites where the big screed pumps cannot be operated.

Fast drying floor Screeds such as FlexiDry are found to perform at its peak when mixed effectively using forced action mixers. FlexiDry approved contractors like CSC Screeding Ltd find they achieve excellent results with FlexiDry by using screed pumps and pan mixers for force action mixing of their screeds.
