CLEANING

Regular cleaning is essential to ensure continued 

performance of the mixer. Wet mortar will set hard, so it is 

important the mixer is emptied of material after each run of 

tubs.
If the mixer is to be left for more than 30 minutes, slowly 

close the product handle (down to horizontal) as the last 

tub is completed. Let the mixer run for 20 seconds until 

water comes from the outlet to ensure the mixer is clean.

Daily Cleaning

After running out the last tub of the day, close the product 

handle on the silo (down to horizontal) and continue to run 

the mixer. Water will come from the outlet. Once this water 

is clear, run the mixer for a further 1 minute to ensure the 

mixer is clean.

Weekly Cleaning

It is important that a thorough internal clean of the mixer 

is completed at least once a week. A properly cleaned 

machine will give long and reliable service. If the clean is 

not carried out, the set mortar will cause accelerated wear 

of the moving parts, and the machine will quickly cease to 

operate.
The weekly clean will be demonstrated to you during 

training. The steps are detailed below for reference.

1.

   Following your daily clean, disconnect the mains power and 

  fully isolate the machine

Note:  Only trained and competent operatives should undertake this operation.

3.

  Withdraw the mixing screw and clean it thoroughly. If there 

  is excessive wear on the blades resulting in metal showing 

  through, call CPI EuroMix for a service

2.

   Remove the three nuts securing the mixing chamber to the 

  dry chamber with a 19mm spanner and remove the mixing 

 chamber

4. 

  Clean any hard material that has gathered inside the mixing 

  chamber paying close attention to the discharge chute and 

  narrow rubber insert section
