Automatic Programmable Mortar Mixer
STANDART: EN 196-1, 196-3, 413-2, 459-2, 480-1, 1015-2, 12617-4; ASTM C187, C305; AASHTO T129, T131, T162
LT-CE0030 Automatic Programmable Mortar Mixer
Automatic Programmable Mortar Mixer is designed for the controlled preparation of cement pastes and standard mortar specimens. Its planetary mixing system provides two standard mixing speeds, while the programmable control unit automatically manages mixing speed, mixing time and sand addition. The automatic sand dispenser and approximately 5 litre stainless steel bowl help laboratories prepare consistent and repeatable specimens.

Automatic Mortar Mixer for Standard Sample Preparation
The Automatic Mortar Mixer is designed to prepare cement pastes and standard mortar specimens under controlled laboratory conditions. The machine automatically manages mixing speed, operating time and sand addition. Therefore, laboratories can reduce operator-related differences during specimen preparation.
Consistent mixing is important because specimen preparation can directly influence later strength and physical test results.
Planetary Mixing System
The paddle performs two simultaneous movements. It rotates around its own axis while also moving around the mixing bowl.
At the standard low-speed setting, the paddle rotates at 140 rpm while the planetary movement operates at 62 rpm. At high speed, these values increase to 285 rpm and 125 rpm respectively. These are also the mixer speeds specified in EN 196-1 for standard mortar preparation.
This planetary action helps distribute cement, water and standard sand throughout the bowl.
Programmable Mixing Control
The operator can create and store up to six custom programs. Each program can control motor speed, mixing duration and the sand-feeding stage.
The digital display shows the active program and mixing time. Standard procedures can therefore be repeated without manually timing every individual stage.
A manual operating mode is also available for non-standard laboratory mixtures.
Automatic Sand Dispenser
The machine includes an automatic sand dispenser. Standard sand is released into the bowl at the programmed point in the mixing sequence.
This feature is especially useful for standardized mortar preparation because the sand-addition period should remain consistent between different batches.
5 L Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl
The mixer is supplied with an approximately 5 litre stainless steel bowl and suitable beater. The bowl is mounted on a three-point support system that allows precise adjustment of the distance between the bowl and paddle.
The stainless steel surface also simplifies cleaning between batches.
Safety and Laboratory Operation
A microswitch prevents the motor from operating when the mixing bowl is lowered. The quick bowl-mounting system simplifies installation and removal during routine laboratory work.
The machine measures 35 × 50 × 75 cm, weighs approximately 55 kg, and operates from 220 V, 50–60 Hz, single-phase power with a 370 W motor.
ASTM C305 and EN 196-1 Applications
ASTM C305-20 defines mechanical mixing procedures for hydraulic cement pastes and mortars of plastic consistency.
EN 196-1:2016 defines the standard mortar preparation procedure used for cement strength testing and specifies the corresponding mixer speeds.
As a result, the Automatic Mortar Mixer combines programmable operation, automatic sand feeding and controlled planetary mixing for repeatable cement and mortar specimen preparation.
