Mixers

HERMEQ supplies cement mixers built for professional construction sites, from compact tip-up machines that follow the work around a plot to mobile site mixers that batch continuously for a groundworks gang. The range covers concrete for footings, foundations and slabs, mortar for bricklaying and rendering, and general building mixes, with 110v, 230v, petrol, Stage V diesel and battery power to suit what the site can supply.

Every machine is made for daily trade use, and stocked models are held in permanent UK stock with next day delivery available.

Which cement mixer do you need?

The range divides by how the machine is moved and how it is powered.

Tip-up cement mixers

A tip-up mixer sits on a folding stand and is tipped by hand at barrow height, which makes it the standard machine for footings, repairs and extensions where the mixer moves several times a day. The Minimix 150 230v electric cement mixer runs from a single-phase supply and the 110v Minimix 150 from a site transformer, while the Minimix 130 compact tip-up mixer is the lightest machine here for light trade and interior work. On plots with no power at all, the petrol cement mixer with a Honda GX160 engine covers the same jobs.

Upright mixers with a built-in stand

An upright mixer has the stand built into the frame, so the drum stays at a fixed working height and discharges to either side. The Belle Maxi 140 upright mixer suits bricklaying gangs and builders who mix from one position through the day, and it is sold in electric and petrol form.

Mobile site mixers

Mobile site mixers are wheeled machines on a chassis, for a gang that batches all day where the mixing point follows the work. The Premier XT machines step up in drum size from the Premier 100XT mobile site mixer through the Premier 150XT and Premier 175XT to the Premier 200XT, each in electric or Stage V diesel form.

Diesel site mixers

The Commodore diesel site mixers use electric start engines and reinforced drums, in three capacities sized to different gang sizes. They are built for continuous batching on plots with no mains supply.

Battery powered mixers

The battery powered Minimix 150E+ is a cordless tip-up machine with no trailing lead and no exhaust, batching the same volume as the corded Minimix models. Choose it where neither a cable run nor an engine is workable.

Choosing the power supply

Power follows what the site can supply. 110v is the standard supply on managed sites and runs from a transformer or a generator, so the generator rating is worth checking before ordering. 230v suits refurbishment work, yards, workshops and plots on a domestic supply. Petrol gives full output where there is no power at all, and Stage V diesel is for continuous off-grid batching by a gang that cannot wait on a cable. Battery power removes both the cable and the fuel, and is planned around the output per charge.

Noise decides as often as the supply does. Across the Premier XT site mixers the electric machines run at 87 dB(A) and the Stage V diesel at 99 dB(A), which is the difference between a mixer that can work close to occupied buildings under local authority noise conditions and one that has to sit further out.

Where site mixers are used

Bricklaying, blockwork and rendering

Mortar and render are mixed in smaller, repeated batches to the same consistency through the day, so a settled mixing position near the spot boards counts for more than drum volume.

Indoor, basement and noise-restricted work

Fit-out, basement and car park work rules out engine exhaust and often caps noise as well. A cordless or 110v electric machine is the one to take inside the building.

How to choose a cement mixer

Mixing capacity against drum capacity

Drum capacity is the volume of the empty drum; mixing capacity is the usable batch the machine will turn and discharge cleanly, and the two figures are never the same. Across the range, drums up to 400L give usable mixing capacities up to 220L, and the mixing figure is the one to order on.

Matching output to the gang

Work from how fast the gang clears each batch rather than from the total volume of the pour. A mixer that outpaces the barrows gains nothing, and one too small holds the bricklayers up for the rest of the day. Where the job is a few small batches turned by hand, mortar tubs do the work without a machine at all.

Transport, weight and site access

Tip-up mixers come off the stand for two operatives to load into a van or pickup. Mobile site mixers weigh over 300kg, so loading is by tail lift. Gateway widths, the ground condition and the route to the mixing position are all worth checking before the machine is ordered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a cement mixer and a concrete mixer?

They are the same machine. A rotating drum turns cement, sand, aggregate and water into a consistent mix, and the trade uses cement mixer, concrete mixer and site mixer for it interchangeably.

How much are cement mixers?

Price across the range tracks three things: mixing capacity, the power source and how the machine is built to be moved. A compact tip-up electric machine sits at one end, and a large Stage V diesel site mixer on a reinforced chassis at the other. Each product page carries its own price.

Can the same mixer be used for mortar and concrete?

Yes. A drum mixer handles both, and the difference is in batch size and gauging rather than the machine: mortar is mixed in smaller, repeated batches, concrete in fuller ones.

How do you clean a mixer drum, and can a worn drum be replaced?

Run clean water and a shovel of coarse aggregate in the turning drum at the end of each run, then tip and rinse before anything sets. Where a drum is already worn or misshapen, a replacement mixer drum restores the original batch size without changing the machine.

What is a gated paddle?

Gated paddles are mixing blades with an opening that lets material pass through instead of being carried round the drum, which folds the mix more thoroughly and clears the drum faster on discharge. They are fitted to the Premier XT and Commodore site mixers, where batches are large and turned all day.
