I'm thinking of building a small concrete mixer
and building a small mortar mixer.
I used to own a concrete mixer but sold it.
Didn't think I would ever have use for one again.

How fast does a concrete mixer turn (RPMs).

How fast do the paddles in a mortar mixer turn (RPMs).

I can't afford to buy these items.
But I'm good at scrounging up materials.
And I thought it would be fun to see if I could make them.
I got lots of pullys and axels and bearings and electric motors.
I just need to make the structures. And get the RPMs correct.

PB, I just got though mixing 80 bags of concrete and it seems like it was doing about 10RPM. This one is advertised at doing 31RPM.

Cool. Thanks for that link.
That looks like something I could definitely do.
Even scale it up a bit to make a bigger batch.

Any idea for plans for a mortar mixer?

Thanks.

Hi
Something like this might be good, looks like it would be easy to construct with a few parts from the project box.
