Why The Makinex MS-150 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 that manual bucket mixing or a general-purpose drum mixer can't match for this application.
The MS-150 specifically addresses the needs of flooring contractors and epoxy installers who need to mix large batches of self-leveling compound quickly and consistently without tying up labor on constant manual mixing.
Hands-Free Mixing Frees Up Your Crew. Mixing a full batch hands-free in just seven 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 5 bag/330 lb. mixing capacity handles large batches without multiple bucket mixes
Includes the Makinex 1800W mixer and paddle, so the mixing power is matched to the station from the start
Engineered For A Cleaner Job Site
The dust and splash guard reduces air particulate and spillage during mixing
A removable vacuum attachment adds further dust suppression for indoor or occupied job sites
Lightweight construction and caster wheels make the station highly portable between mixing locations
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
Dust and splash containment reduces cleanup time and material waste on the job site
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 large batches of self-leveling compound quickly and consistently can't afford the labor drain of manual bucket mixing or a general-purpose mixer not suited to the material. The Makinex MS-150 is built with hands-free mixing, dust containment, and consistent pour control, so it delivers professional results without tying up your crew. For anyone installing self-leveling floors or epoxy coatings regularly, this is the mixing station built for the job.
