LT-CE0029 Manual Mortar Mixer
Manual Mortar Mixer is designed for the controlled preparation of cement pastes and standard mortar specimens. The planetary mixing mechanism operates at two predefined speed levels to provide consistent mixing conditions. A 5 litre stainless steel bowl, removable beater and integrated sand-filling arrangement make the mixer practical for routine cement laboratory applications.
- Two-Speed Mixing: Allows the operator to select low or high mixing speed.
- Low-Speed Operation: Paddle rotates at 140 rpm, with 62 rpm planetary movement.
- High-Speed Operation: Paddle rotates at 285 rpm, with 125 rpm planetary movement.
- Planetary Mixing Action: Paddle rotates around its own axis while travelling around the bowl.
- 5 L Mixing Bowl: Suitable for cement paste and standard mortar preparation.
- Stainless Steel Bowl: Durable and easy to clean after testing.
- Manual Speed Selection: Operator changes the speed using the machine control switch.
- Sand Filling Arrangement: Helps add standard sand to the bowl during mixing.
- Removable Bowl and Beater: Simplifies specimen transfer and cleaning.
- Stable Laboratory Design: Rigid construction supports operation at high mixing speed.
- External Dimensions: 35 × 50 × 55 cm.
- Weight: Approximately 45 kg.
- Power Supply: 220 V, 50–60 Hz, 1 Ph.
- Product Code: LT-CE0029.

Manual Mortar Mixer for Cement and Mortar Preparation
The Manual Mortar Mixer prepares cement pastes and standard mortar specimens under controlled laboratory conditions. Its planetary mixing mechanism combines paddle rotation with movement around the mixing bowl. This action helps distribute cement, water and sand throughout the mixture.
Consistent specimen preparation is important because differences in mixing can influence later strength and physical test results. Therefore, standardized mixer speeds help laboratories obtain more comparable specimens.
Two-Speed Planetary Mixing
The mixer provides two predefined operating speeds. At low speed, the paddle rotates at 140 rpm, while the planetary movement operates at 62 rpm.
At high speed, the paddle speed increases to 285 rpm and the planetary movement reaches 125 rpm. These speed levels correspond to the standard mixing arrangement used for cement mortar preparation.
The operator selects the required speed using the control switch mounted on the machine. This straightforward arrangement allows quick transition between different stages of the mixing procedure.
5 L Stainless Steel Bowl
The Manual Mortar Mixer is supplied with an approximately 5 litre mixing bowl and beater. Both components can be easily removed from the machine.
The removable design simplifies specimen transfer and cleaning. Regular cleaning is especially important because hardened cement residue can affect later batches and change the effective geometry of the bowl.
Manual Sand Addition
An integrated sand-filling arrangement helps the operator introduce standard sand during mortar preparation. Unlike the automatic programmable model, the operator controls the timing of the process manually.
This simple operating principle makes the mixer suitable for laboratories that require standardized mixing speeds without the need for programmable test sequences.
Compact Laboratory Construction
The LT-CE0029 measures 35 × 50 × 55 cm and weighs approximately 45 kg. Its rigid structure helps maintain stability during high-speed mixing. The unit operates from a 220 V, 50–60 Hz, single-phase electrical supply.
EN 196-1 and ASTM C305 Applications
EN 196-1:2016 covers the preparation of standard cement mortar, including its composition and mixing procedure.
ASTM C305-20 specifically covers mechanical mixing of hydraulic cement pastes and mortars of plastic consistency and remains active.
As a result, the Manual Mortar Mixer combines standardized mixing speeds, planetary movement and simple manual control for reliable cement and mortar specimen preparation.
