Power consumption
The power consumed by the construction mixer (see "Device") during operation.
High power provides the device with high performance — such a model can easily cope with complex tasks, such as mixing a large volume of mixture at a time or while working with heavy fillers, such as crushed stone. On the other hand, high power affects the power consumption of the device, its weight, dimensions and cost. It makes little sense to purchase a powerful model if you select a tool for domestic use from time to time.
Rotation speed
The rotation speed of the nozzle or mixing container provided by a plaster mixers.
High rotation speed devices work best with paints, varnishes and glues.
Low rotation speed models do a good job of preparing thick mixtures. Many modern plaster mixers and mixer-drills support the ability to adjust the speed (see "Features"), which allows user to choose the most optimal mode for a particular mixture. Powerful tools especially need a rotation under heavy load support system.
Reduction drive
The ability to switch speeds allows you to cope with various types of tasks: low speed and high torque are perfect for mixing viscous or heavy mixtures, and vice versa — high speed and low torque are better to cope with liquid materials such as paint, glue, etc.
Note that the support for
two speeds provides the presence of a two-speed gearbox. At the same time, many modern construction mixers with a single-speed gearbox support the ability to smoothly adjust the speed of rotation of the nozzle (see "Functions / Capabilities").
Max. stirred volume
Numerical value, expressed in liters, indicating the maximum volume of solution that the mixer can mix in one step.
Weight
This refers to the weight of a fully assembled and ready-to-use construction mixer or drill mixer. What you need to pay attention to here is that the
small weight of the device is not always its advantage. On the one hand, during operation, the tool has to be kept on weight, most often in a vertical position, which is very tiring. But on the other hand, heavy models are less susceptible to vibration, it is easier to fix them in one position.
