Why The Makinex MS-100 Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a mixing station, it's built specifically for self-leveling cement, epoxies, and floor finishing compounds, giving flooring contractors a hands-free, consistent mix for smaller batch jobs without paying for the larger MS-150's added capacity.
The MS-100 specifically addresses the needs of flooring contractors and epoxy installers who already own a compatible mixer and need to mix moderate batches of self-leveling compound quickly and consistently.
Hands-Free Mixing In Just Three Minutes. Mixing a full batch hands-free in just three minutes means the operator can prep other parts of the job instead of standing over a bucket for the entire mixing cycle, saving real time and labor costs across a project.
Built For Consistent, Clean Pours
Easy tilt operation delivers consistent pours, important for self-leveling compounds where mix consistency affects the finished floor
A 4 bag/220 lb. mixing capacity handles moderate batches without multiple bucket mixes
The dust and splash guard encloses the bucket, reducing air particulate and spillage during mixing
Engineered For Job Site Portability
Lightweight construction and caster wheels make the station highly portable between mixing locations
Compatible with a Makinex mixer, allowing contractors who already own one to add hands-free capability without buying a full bundled system
The tilt design supports controlled, consistent pours directly where needed
Real Savings
Hands-free mixing saves labor costs compared to manual bucket mixing that ties up a crew member for the full cycle
Consistent mix quality reduces the risk of costly self-leveling compound failures or uneven floors
Skipping the bundled mixer reduces upfront cost for contractors who already have a compatible Makinex mixer
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 Flooring contractors and epoxy installers who need to mix moderate batches of self-leveling compound quickly and consistently can't afford the labor drain of manual bucket mixing. The Makinex MS-100 is built with hands-free mixing, dust containment, and consistent pour control, so it delivers professional results without tying up your crew. For anyone who already has a compatible mixer and needs a station sized for smaller batches, this is the mixing station built for the job.
