AUTOMATIC PLANETARY MORTAR MIXER

Standards: EN 196-1(Nov. 2005), ASTM C-305, EN 196-3 (Nov. 2005) and UNE-EN 1015-2/98.

For the production of cement mortar and cement paste according to the standards

MAIN FEATURES

• Electric motor with frequency variator which ensures the rotating speediness of the paddle regardless of power supply and the network frequency.
• Switch-selection of mixer speed with three positions, avoiding the serious disadvantages of the traditional, mechanical speed-switching systems which use pinion-and-crown gears.
• Fast, bayonet-clip coupling and removal of paddle.
• Distance between paddle and bowl: 3±1,0 mm.
• Cast stainless steel paddle, with scoring degree indicator.
• Paddle revolving speed:
  - Slow, 140±5 rpm.
  - Fast, 285±10 rpm.

• Planetary revolution:
  ⇒ slow, 62±5 rpm.
  ⇒ fast, 125±10 rpm.
• Stainless steel bowl of 4,7 l capacity approx. Bowl support can slide vertically by means of a side lever for an easy mounting and dismounting.



• Power supply: single phase 110 / 240 V (to specify) + T, 50 / 60 Hz.
• Dimensions: 43 x 57 x 56 cm.
• Net weight: 62 Kg. approx.

NEW CONTROL MODULE AP Series

Improvements of the AP control for the mortar mixer:

• Real time test parameters modification
• Close loop control time: 0,1 ms

It has four complete selectable and adaptable, automated testing programs. Depending on the standard to be used (EN or ASTM) these programs are:

• Cement motar as per EN 196-1 (Nov. 2005)
• Cement mortar as per ASTM C-305
• Pure paste as per EN 196-3 (Nov. 2005)
• Pure paste as per ASTM C-305.

A fifth program allows the operator to select speeds and times in up to 8 different segments, which permits to adjust it to the requirements for any present or future standard.

For example brickwork light mortar, premixtures,etc according to UNE-EN 1015-2/98)

The new AP series control module allows:

• Automatic speed changing and its maintenance during the time specified by the standard.
• Real time indications of, the cycle step status and the paddle revolution speed (fast, slow, stop for bowl cleaning).

It actuates on the automatic sand-feeding hopper, advises the user with sound and screen message when he has to take part (for bowl cleaning, end of test), etc.

Automatic sand-feeding hopper, for cement mortar as per EN 196-1 (Nov. 2005) and ASTM C-305 which guarantees that the hopper pours sand evenly and automatically into the bowl in 30 seconds, as specified in the standards.

Water-feeding device (optional) located on one side of the mixer composed of 225 ml glass container to pour the water directly into the mixer bowl.
