8. Mixing tools
This tooling option should be selected for the preparation of thin-
bodied material or very light material which has a tendency to
form lumps. The XM 160 rotates at a speed of 150 rpm and the
Dissolver at 770 rpm, e.g.
• Self-leveling materials
• Flooring mixes
• Pouring mortars
• Multi-component materials
• Liquid plastics
• Grouting compounds
• Dispersions
• Gypsum-lime plaster
Three threaded spindles are available for the mixing tools. The two spindles for the
universal mixing tools rotate at a speed of 150 rpm and have a size M 18 thread.
The third threaded spindle rotates at a speed of 770 rpm and is for the Dissolver. To ensure
that this spindle is not fitted with the wrong tool it has a size M 16 thread.
8.3 Changing the mixing tools
The mixing tools are fitted and adjusted at the factory. To remove them, slacken the
locking nut slightly with an open-ended wrench. In doing so, hold a second open-ended
wrench firmly against the mixing tool. Unscrew the mixing tool.
Your forced-action mixer comes with three different mixing tools (Standard: universal
mixing tools and a star-type mixing tool). These will enable you to mix materials of all
viscosities.
8.1 Tooling options
Both mixing tools rotate at a speed of 150 rpm. Use this tooling
option for mixing all high-viscosity, viscous and heavy materials
such as, for example.
• Ready-mixed mortar
• Quartz-filled epoxy-resins
• Fine concrete
• Fireproof and acidproof materials
• Fillers
• Screed
• Ceramic compounds
• Acoustic plaster
• Loam mortar
• 2-component and multi-component materials

8.2 Adjusting the height of the mixing tools
In order to prevent deposits of residual material collecting at the bottom of the tub the
mixing tools are height-adjustable.To adjust them, slacken the hexagon nut on drive
spindle and move the mixing tool up or down as required by turning to the left or right.
The mixing tools should be approx. 1 - 2 mm above the bottom of the tub. If they are set
too low they will scrape against the bottom of the tub and damage it beyond repair.
