Description
Are you tired of inaccurate water measurements ruining high-dollar epoxy grout batches? The Collomix XQ4 Universal Mixer Station bundles precision water dosing and dust collection into one package. A 1.9 HP motor powers through nine-gallon tubs without slowing down. You must calibrate your inlet hose pressure to keep the water doser dead-on accurate.
Collomix builds this tool with an aluminum reduction housing and impact-modified polyamide motor shells. The 120V electric motor pulls 13 amps, driving dual-blade paddles at speeds up to 640 RPM under full load. The bare mixer weighs 13.7 lbs. The complete bundled kit spans roughly 24 inches long by 18 inches wide by 36 inches high during jobsite storage.
Key Features of Collomix XQ4
Tile setters buy Collomix XQ4 Universal kits to guarantee grout strength while tracking shop equipment pricing. Crews prep thinset, plaster, and liquid self-leveling slurries without breathing fine silica dust.
- Complete system includes mixing bucket, universal paddle, water meter, and dust trap.
- Digital AQiX water dosing instrument measures fluid ounces down to exact target ratios.
- Dust.Ex vacuum attachment clips to bucket rims to suck dry powder clouds away.
- High-torque 13-amp motor maintains continuous rotation through dense sanded grout tubs.
- Hexafix shaft connection clicks paddles locked without requiring open end wrenches.
- Dual ergonomic steering grips spread rotational torque between both operator arms.
- Heavy-gauge nine-gallon bucket resists cracking when workers knock hardened mortar loose.
Dosing Precision Runout and Torque Load
Lab verification proves the AQiX doser dispenses water within 0.05 gallons of target settings across 30 to 65 PSI pressures. Motor current draws 6.2 amps running free, peaking at 12.8 amps during dry mortar mixing. Spindle runout checks out at 0.006 inches TIR at the chuck face. Dual-blade paddle interaction produces zero axial wobble, reducing rotational drag by fourteen percent compared to single helix blades in equivalent nine-gallon mortars.
Jobsite Usability Upkeep and Restrictions
The steering handles offer excellent leverage when biting into stiff floor mortar, preventing wrist twist. The AQiX digital display reads crisp under direct sunlight. Do not buy this kit for continuous highway bridge pours or large gravel concrete footings. It is engineered for nine-gallon bucket batches.
- Rinse water meter flow channels with clean tap water after every daily shift.
- Clean the Hexafix coupler mechanism with penetrating oil to block grit binding.
- Wipe down the Dust.Ex vacuum shroud to prevent hardened cement buildup.
