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

For anyone mixing concrete or mortar as a regular part of the work, this is the mixer built to hold up to it.
