INTRODUCTION

H&S DISCLAIMER

This quick guide will show you how to connect, 

start up and use the mortar mixer that comes 

with your EuroMix silo.
Your silo will be set-up and checked by the 

EuroMix technician before being handed over 

to you for use. However, there are a few simple 

things you can do to make sure the silo gives you 

easy and trouble free mixing.
The most important thing you can do to help 

keep the machine working is to always carry 

out your daily and weekly clean. The cleaning 

procedure is shown in this guide in detail, but if 

you need any help or have any questions please 

call your local plant.
During the winter months or if frost is at all likely, 

please follow the cold weather working guide. 

It is important that you protect the control panel 

from frost damage as this will also prevent any 

downtime from damaged equipment.
There is a fault diagnosis flowchart at the back of 

the guide which you should follow to resolve any 

issues with the mixer.

Only trained operatives should operate this 

equipment. The equipment requires to be 

stripped and cleaned, and it is 

EXTREMELY 

IMPORTANT

 that the machinery is 

disconnected from the mains supply by fully 

removing the supply plug before carrying out 

any work on the machine.
It is the customers responsibility to ensure that 

all staff operating a EuroMix Silo Station are  

fully trained. 
CPI EuroMix are happy to carry out training  

free of charge, simply contact your local CPI 

office to book.
