Imer MIX 360 Plus Vertical Shaft Mixers - 1194662

The Mix 360 Offers Unparalleled Production and Jobsite / Plant Safety

Vertical shaft mixers use the principles of concrete batch plant design, which allows for the paddles to rotate through the mix rather than lift and drop it as conventional mortar mixers do. The Mix 360 Plus vertical shaft towable mixers easily mix very low slump materials like dry pack mortar and refractory cement.

Features

• Honda gasoline or single phase electric motor options
• 12 cu ft drum capacity
• 9 cu ft batch output
• 18" pneumatic highway tires and torsion bar suspension
• Tow package - bar, hitch
• Formerly the Mortarman 360
  

Specifications

What our Experts Think

• Industrial vertical shaft “batch plant–style” mixer
  The Imer MIX 360 Plus (Ref. 1194662) is a towable high-capacity vertical shaft mixer designed for professional construction crews, built to handle demanding materials like mortar, refractory cement, and low-slump concrete mixes.
• Massive batch output for job-site productivity
  Delivers approximately 12 cu ft drum capacity with ~9 cu ft per batch output, making it ideal for high-volume, continuous site work.
• Vertical shaft system = more consistent mixing
  Unlike drum mixers, the paddles rotate through the material continuously, producing a more uniform blend with fewer air pockets and better consistency for dense mixes.
• Built for tough, low-slump materials
  Excels with dry pack mortar, refractory cement, and specialty construction mixes, where traditional mixers struggle to achieve proper uniformity.
• High-powered professional drive system
  Uses a 5.5 HP electric motor (or optional gasoline engine depending on configuration) for strong torque under heavy load conditions.
• Job-site mobility despite industrial size
  Comes with tow package, pneumatic tires, and torsion suspension, allowing it to be moved like mobile plant equipment between work zones.
• Designed for safety + continuous operation
  Features an enclosed mixing chamber, controlled discharge system, and dust-reducing grate, improving operator safety during high-volume mixing cycles.
• Expert insight
  This is closer to a mini batching plant than a standard mixer—its strength is throughput, consistency, and handling difficult mixes, not portability or small-job convenience.

Q&A

Q1: What is the Imer MIX 360 Plus 1194662 used for?
A: It is a heavy-duty towable vertical shaft mixer designed for high-output mixing of mortar, refractory cement, dry-pack mixes, stucco, grout, and specialty construction materials on job sites and in plants.

Q2: What makes it a “vertical shaft mixer”?
A: Unlike drum mixers, it uses a vertical shaft paddle system that forces material through the mix, producing more uniform, high-quality blends with fewer air pockets, especially for low-slump materials.

Q3: What is the mixing capacity?
A: It features a 12 cu ft drum capacity with about 9 cu ft batch output, making it suitable for high-production professional work.

Q4: What motor does it use?
A: The electric version (1194662) uses a 5.5 HP, 220V single-phase motor, built for continuous job-site operation.

Q5: What materials can it mix?
A: It is designed for dry-pack mortar, refractory cement, UHPC, stucco, and other pre-blended construction materials, including high-density mixes.

Q6: Is it suitable for heavy-duty job sites?
A: Yes, it is built for continuous professional use with reinforced steel construction, towable frame, and industrial-grade gearbox system for demanding environments.

Q7: How does it improve productivity?
A: The continuous vertical mixing action reduces mixing time and delivers consistent batch quality, helping crews complete work faster with less manual effort.

Q8: Is it portable?
A: Yes, it is a towable mixer with pneumatic tires and suspension system, allowing easy movement across job sites despite its high capacity. 

Maintenance Tips

• Clean mixing chamber immediately after use: Flush drum and paddles thoroughly to prevent hardened mortar, refractory cement, or dry-pack buildup that reduces efficiency.
• Never allow material to dry inside: Even small residue can affect paddle rotation and cause uneven batching or wear on the vertical shaft system.
• Clean discharge gate daily: Ensure bottom discharge opens freely to maintain controlled, consistent flow of material.
• Wash iDUST grate system: Remove dust and fines to maintain airflow and reduce jobsite dust contamination.
• Inspect paddles & shaft regularly: Check for abrasion or bending—worn paddles reduce mixing quality and increase motor load.
• Keep gearbox area clean & dry: The heavy-duty gearbox is high-performance but must be protected from slurry, water spray, and buildup.
• Check belts and drive tension: Ensure proper tension for smooth power transfer and consistent vertical shaft rotation.
• Lubricate pivot and dump points lightly: Keep discharge and hinge mechanisms moving smoothly without excess grease buildup.
• Inspect safety grate & interlocks: Ensure the top grate closes and locks properly for operator safety.
• Store clean and covered: Protect steel frame and electrical components from moisture, rust, and jobsite debris.
