Why The Kushlan Direct Drive Cement Mixer Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a cement mixer, it's built with a 5/16 in. thick polyethylene drum resistant to dents, cracks, and rust, giving contractors and DIYers a mixer that holds up to 800 lbs. of premix concrete without the wear issues common in thinner homeowner-grade drums.

The 1000DD-WB specifically addresses the needs of contractors and serious DIYers who need reliable 10 cu. ft. mixing capacity on job sites with standard electrical access, without the added cost and maintenance of a gas engine.

A Drum Built To Take The Abuse. The 5/16 in. thick polyethylene drum resists dents, cracks, and rust while remaining easy to clean, giving this mixer a durability advantage over the thinner steel or plastic drums found on basic homeowner mixers.

Built For Reliable, Adjustable Mixing

The drum is adjustable to the correct angle for a variety of mixes, giving more control over consistency

Three steel blades in a mortar/concrete configuration provide effective mixing for different material types

The electric-driven, direct drive motor spins the drum at 28 RPM for consistent, steady mixing

Engineered For Durability And Portability

Steel tubing frame made from cold rolled galvanized steel resists corrosion and daily job site wear

13 in. x 4 in. polyurethane flat-free tires with a ball bearing race make moving the mixer around the job site easy

Easy breakdown design simplifies transport or storage between jobs

Real Savings

The durable polyethylene drum reduces the risk of cracking or rusting compared to thinner homeowner-grade drums

Flat-free tires eliminate the risk of flat tire downtime when moving the mixer between job sites

CE, UL, and CSA approval provides added confidence in the mixer's safety and build quality

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Contractors and serious DIYers who need reliable 10 cu. ft. mixing capacity on job sites with standard power access can't afford a mixer with a drum that cracks or rusts under regular use. The Kushlan Direct Drive Cement Mixer is built with a durable polyethylene drum, a steel tubing frame, and flat-free tires, so it delivers consistent mixing performance job after job. For anyone mixing concrete or mortar as a regular part of the work, this is the mixer built to hold up to it.
