    Company’s technical or engineering department can answer questions in a timely manner. With its patented double drum mixer, the Strong Fillermate mixes materials quickly and thoroughly with minimum degradation of lightweight aggregates. The special mixer also promotes air entrainment within the mix to maximize material yields.
  • Page 5 However, for particular applications some units are designed to operate at 460 VAC. The intent of this manual is to promote the best use of the Strong Fillermate by providing component description, operation and maintenance procedures, a troubleshooting guide and most importantly, safety instructions.
  • Page 6: Safety

    Important General Safety Information The Strong Fillermate machine was specifically designed to mix and pump special pre-blended material slurries. It is also capable of mixing and pumping other materials blended on site. In addition to the usual hazards of machinery, several special hazards are involved in these operations. Please read and pay close attention to the following SAFETY INFORMATION.

    Strong-Mate Mixer Drawing #386000620 The Strong-Mate Mixer is a completely innovative idea in mixers, designed for mixing most varieties of cementitious materials. The mixer is designed to give a maximum amount of agitation, and complete dispersement of the particulate ingredients and admixtures in as short a mixing cycle as is possible. To accomplish this, two inter-connected fixed drums are attached and include two self-wiping, ribbon paddles that counter-rotate.

    B. Connecting Electrical Power (see Drawing #86000621) The electrical power required for the 430 Fillermate machine is 230 volts, three phase, A.C. Special machines are supplied with a 460-230 control voltage transformer and must operate on 460 volts.
  • Page 16: Connecting Water

    1. In order to flush air and debris from the incoming water line, turn the water on before connecting it to the Fillermate water system. 2. Turn the water line off. 3. Connect the water line to the fitting on the bottom of the water system.
  • Page 17: Test Electrical Controls

    D. Test Electrical Controls 1. All guards should be in place before turning any component of machine on. 2. TEST THE PUMP FIRST. Make sure there is water in the hopper. When the pump control switch is set to FORWARD the water level does not drop and bubbles come from the back of the rotor/ stator, stop the pump IMMEDIATELY, the incoming electrical leads have been installed backwards.
