3. DESCRIPTION OF MIXER OPERATION
- THE CONTINUOUS HORIZONTAL MIXER is designed
for use in building sites, for mixing and pumping all mixed
mortars declared as compatible with this type of machine by
the material manufacturers: brickwork plasters, mortars for
semi-dry tiles, cement mixes, lime/cement based plasters,
grouting mortar etc
3.1 DESCRIPTION OF MIXER (see fig.1)
The mixer comprises a wheeled frame (ref.1), which supports a
hopper (ref.2), a mixing chamber (ref.3), a water circuit (ref.9), an
electrical panel (ref.5).
There is a version of horizontal mixer with the water pump already
assembled (ref. 11).
The pre-mixed dry material is poured in to the hopper (using sacks
or by means of other equipment), which houses an auger batching
system (ref.6), activated by a gearmotor (rif.7), which moves the
auger, transferring the material into the mixing chamber. This
chamber is fitted with a mixer (ref.8), which connected to the auger,
mixes the material with water delivered directly to the chamber by
the water pump and via the water circuit.

The mixed material is then conveyed to the discharge outlet (ref.4),
ready to use and collected in crates, wheelbarrows, buckets etc.
and then applied manually where required.
4. OPERATION SAFETY
- Before using the mixer, ensure that it is fitted with all
safety devices.
- Never insert parts of the body and/or tools in the hopper
or discharge outlet during operation.
- Always use the mixer in sufficiently ventilated envi-
ronments.
All current standards governing accident prevention and safety
devices must be observed in the workplace.
Take care when handling sacks of material to avoid dispersion of
dust with inhalation of the latter; if this is not possible, masks must
be worn to protect the mouth and nose.
- Never use the machine in areas subject to the risk of
explosion/fires or in underground installations.
The mixer is not equipped with a lighting system and therefore the
workplace must be fitted with adequate lighting.
The power lines must be laid to prevent any possible damage.
Never place the mixer on electric power cables.
Ensure that the electrical connection is protected against the risk
of water penetration in connectors. Use exclusively connectors
and couplings equipped with water spray protection.
- Never use inadequate or provisional electric lines: if in doubt
consult specialist personnel for assistance.
- Repairs to the electrical circuit must be performed exclusively by
specialised personnel. Disconnect the machine from the power
supply before performing maintenance or repairs.
-Avoid contact of electric wires with movable and/or moving parts
of the machine. to avoid injury from contact with live metal parts.
-CAUTION!
Keep the hands away from the outlet.
5. ELECTRIC SAFETY
The SPIN15 mixer is constructed according to standard EN 60204-1,
with protection against water sprays and protection against overload
and power failure.
The mixer must be connected to the earthing circuit.
To facilitate transport, the machine can be disassembled as
shown in fig.4.
6. MECHANICAL SAFETY (see fig.1)
The hazardous points on the IMER mixer are protected by means
of suitable safety devices, which must remain fitted at all times and
kept in perfect condition. For example, this includes the electric
motor cooling fan guard and the hopper grid (ref. 10) to prevent
contact with the auger.
Also, release of the mixing chamber, shuts down all rotary parts
of the machine immediately thanks to a specific safety device.
7. TRANSPORT (see fig.2 and fig.3)
- CAUTION! Before moving the mixer, always detach
the power plug.
Before moving the mixer, disconnect the water supply hose.
Only a minimal amount of the material should be in the hopper
when handling.
Lift the mixer by means of the relative handles (fig.2) and
push in the required direction.
