Mixer paddle Polax HEX 31-005, 60×400 mm — paint and mortar mixing tool

Polax HEX 31-005 is a mixer paddle sized 60×400 mm designed for mixing paints, plasters, mortars and similar materials. The paddle features a HEX connection that secures to compatible drills or mixers, enabling steady rotation and efficient transfer of torque. Its dimensions make it suitable for medium-volume tasks encountered in renovation and construction projects, providing uniform consistency while reducing splashing and air entrainment during mixing.

Advantages

The Polax HEX 31-005 paddle offers a compact but effective mixing profile that balances flow and shear to homogenize viscous materials. The HEX connection ensures a reliable mechanical fit with compatible drivers, minimizing slip under load. The elongated 400 mm shaft depth reaches into standard buckets and containers while the 60 mm blade diameter promotes controlled circulation to reduce spillover and uneven lumps. The construction is intended for repeated site use and straightforward cleaning after mixing.

Suitable for

• Mixing interior and exterior paint batches
• Preparing plaster, gypsum and finishing compounds
• Mixing cement-based mortars and tile adhesives
• On-site renovation and small to medium construction tasks

Key specifications

• Blade diameter: 60 mm
• Shaft length: 400 mm
• Connection type: HEX drive for secure attachment
• Intended materials: paints, plasters, mortars, adhesives
• Designed for medium-volume mixing

How to use

Attach the Polax HEX 31-005 paddle to a compatible drill or mixing unit with a HEX chuck, ensuring the connection is fully seated and tightened. Place the paddle into the container with the material, start the driver at low speed to avoid splashing, then increase speed as needed to achieve a consistent mix. Move the paddle up and down slowly while rotating to incorporate all components evenly. After use, stop the tool before removing the paddle and clean residue promptly to prevent material hardening.

Usage recommendations

Use a drill or mixer with appropriate power and torque for the viscosity of the material. For thicker mortars or heavy adhesives, operate at lower speeds and with steady pressure to avoid overloading the tool. Wear suitable personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection, and mix in a well-ventilated area. Rinse the paddle after each use to prolong service life and prevent buildup that could affect mixing performance.
