Mixing paddle
Firestop mortar being mixed with water in a galvanised sheet metal tub, using a professional grout mixing paddle.
A mixing paddle is a shaped device, typically mounted on a shaft, which can be inserted on the shaft end into a motorised drive, for the purpose of mixing liquids, solids or both. Whilst mounted in fixed blending equipment, the paddle may also be referred to as an agitator.
Purpose
- Mixing ingredients in cooking.
- Mixing ingredients for construction products, such as pastes, slurries or paints[1][2]
