PLASTER-MORTAR MIXERS
That's what you're looking for, isn't it? Fast mixing to keep production moving without a lag - and a smooth, easy-to-apply mix one load after another. You get it with Gilson Plaster-Mortar Mixers because they're built for efficient operation in every way.

For example, low charging height saves muscles, reduces fatigue - speeds loading. Specially designed, self-cleaning drum empties completely. Paddle-type blades adjust to match mix consistency and aggressive, end-to-end action turns out a smoother, faster spreading mix.

Model 8 mp 8 cu. ft. capacity. Helicoid spiral blades optional.

Gilson mixers are steady workers, too. Blade shaft runs on precision ball bearings. And these bearings are protected with special seals that keep lubrication in - grit out for extra long life. Heavy-gauge, abrasion-resistant steel drum has plate steel ends for extra stability and long wear. Frames are low slung, with the complete unit balanced for quick, easy spotting. Trailing is safe on high speed Timken bearing wheels. And there's plenty of power for the heaviest mix with a choice of husky, air-cooled engines or heavy-duty electric motors.

Model 10 mp 10 cu. ft. capacity.

Get to know these modern, fast-working mixers - write for detail specifications on this quality line of equipment, as well as Gilson's complete line of tilting and non-tilting concrete mixers.
