Description
Rip through tough mortar sacks with the Collomix TMX 1000 Compact Mixer. This forced action pan mixer processes twenty gallons of screed, stucco, or refractory mortar per batch. A high torque electric motor turns three steel mixing arms without belt slippage. You must clean the bottom slide gate with water before mortar cures inside the discharge track.
The machine frame features heavy welded tubular steel coated in protective industrial powder coat. Collomix pairs a 2.7 HP 120V single-phase electric motor pulling 15 FLA with an enclosed planetary gear reducer turning the center shaft at 30 RPM. Unboxed mixer weight reaches 288 lbs with exterior frame measurements of 33 inches long by 30 inches wide by 48 inches high, riding on solid flat-free rubber tires.
Key Features of Collomix TMX 1000
Flooring installers buy Collomix TMX 1000 pan mixers to speed screed production while checking contractor pricing on commercial mixing equipment. Tradesmen mix dense grouts right next to interior work zones without throwing dust clouds.
- Three-arm forced action mixing paddle scrapes drum walls to eliminate unmixed dry pockets.
- Serrated bag ripper teeth mounted on top grid slice paper sacks in one strike.
- Integrated vacuum connection port extracts hazardous respirable silica dust from the tub.
- Bottom slide hatch empties mixed batches straight into standard mortar pans or wheelbarrows.
- Narrow thirty-inch chassis profile fits through standard commercial doors without wall contact.
- Safety limit switch cuts electrical current to the motor whenever someone raises the lid.
- Flat-free solid rubber transport tires roll across jobsite scrap without punctures or deflating.
- Steel crane lifting loops provide balanced rigging points for multi-story jobsite crane picks.
Drive Torque Bearing Tolerances Analysis
Bench load testing proves heavy rotational output under severe viscous drag. The 120V motor pulls 5.4 amps running free, climbing to 14.8 amps when shearing 250 lbs of stiff screed mix. Center paddle spindle rotation drops from 32 down to 29 RPM under maximum payload resistance. Output shaft deflection measures less than 0.010 inches TIR at the lower drive seal. Planetary gear housing temperatures stabilize at 138 degrees Fahrenheit after four hours of non-stop batch cycles. Frame welds show zero stress cracking.
Jobsite Mobility Maintenance Reality Limits
Pushing this compact pan mixer across gravel subgrades requires two men due to the high center of mass. The bottom discharge handle swings forward with eight pounds of arm pressure. Do not buy this machine for thin self-leveling underlayments or coarse concrete containing rocks over one-half inch. It belongs on screeds, mortars, and grouts.
- Scrape wet mortar residue off the three mixing blades after each shift.
- Grease the central vertical drive shaft bearing every forty run hours.
- Blow fine Portland cement dust out of the motor switch housing every week.
