The easy-tilt feature of the Hippo Mixer from HoverTrowel Inc., helps contractors transport and pour materials with ease. What's more, its motor makes it a natural for mixing self-leveling materials.
With a mixing capacity of roughly 18 gallons, the Hippo is powered by a high-torque, 16-amp, two-speed motor. The Hippo's drum shape and helical mixing paddle with shear bars create a vortex to provide sufficient lifting and shearing action when mixing these batch sizes. A paddle with comparatively large diameter increases periphery speed, reducing the flash curing that comes with the increased temperatures created by high rpm speeds.
