Full details

The Scheppach MIX160 160L Drum Cement Mixer is an ideal tool for serious DIY enthusiasts and professional builders who need to handle mid-to-large scale landscaping and renovation projects. With a robust 650W motor and a generous 160-litre capacity, it excels at producing large, consistent batches of mortar, concrete, or render quickly and efficiently. While it offers impressive durability and stability, users should be prepared for its size and weight, which necessitates dedicated storage space and careful handling during site transport.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this mixer be used for mixing heavy concrete?

Yes, the 650W motor is designed to handle concrete, mortar, and render, provided you do not exceed the recommended capacity.

How do I ensure the best mix consistency?

Add your water first, followed by your cement and aggregates. This prevents dry material from sticking to the bottom of the drum.

Is the MIX160 suitable for professional sites?

Yes, its robust construction and 160L capacity are well-suited for professional construction sites and larger renovation jobs.

How heavy is the unit?

The mixer is built for stability, which makes it a heavy piece of machinery. Ensure you have help if moving it across challenging terrain.

What happens if concrete sets in the drum?

If concrete hardens inside, it can damage the drum or impede the motor. Clean it immediately after use with a pressure washer or by flushing with water.

Troubleshooting

Motor hums but the drum will not rotate

Check for obstructions near the drum gears or if the material inside is too dry/heavy. Clear the blockage and ensure the mix has sufficient water.

Excessive vibration during operation

Ensure the mixer is on a flat, solid surface. Tighten all frame bolts as they may have loosened from heavy use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High volume capacity saves time on large projects
Consistent mixing performance at 29.5rpm
Sturdy welded frame ensures long-term durability
Easy-to-use manual tipping system for controlled pouring
Stable base design prevents rocking during heavy loads

Cons

Requires significant storage space due to its size
Manual cleaning of the drum is necessary after every use
Heavy unit weight can be challenging to move solo on stairs or soft ground

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the mixer is placed on a level, firm surface to prevent tipping during operation. Verify that the power cable is secured and protected from heavy debris or accidental contact with moving parts.

Care & Maintenance:

Clean Immediately: Never allow concrete or mortar to set inside the drum. Flush the drum with water and a few shovels of gravel after use to scrub the interior walls clean.
Check Fasteners: Periodically inspect all bolts and welds to ensure vibration during use hasn't loosened any hardware.
Storage: Keep the unit in a dry environment. If stored outdoors, use a heavy-duty waterproof cover to protect the motor housing from rain and moisture.
