Paint mixer Polax 31-009, HEX shaft 60×400 mm

The Polax 31-009 paint mixer with a HEX shaft 60×400 mm is a tool attachment designed to be used with drills or electric mixers that accept HEX drives. Engineered for blending paints, primers, adhesives and other viscous liquids, the mixer produces a consistent mix while reducing the amount of air incorporated into the material. Its 60×400 mm shaft and blade geometry provide stable rotation and effective circulation for professional and DIY preparation of coatings and compounds.

Advantages

The HEX shaft ensures secure coupling to compatible drills and mixers, minimizing slippage during operation. The 60×400 mm dimensions deliver a balance between reach and stability, allowing mixing in medium to large containers without excessive wobble. The blade design promotes uniform blending and helps reduce foam and air entrainment, improving the finish and performance of paints and adhesives. The robust construction is suitable for frequent use in workshop or on-site conditions.

Suitable for

• Mixing water- and solvent-based paints and primers
• Preparing adhesives, fillers and joint compounds
• Stirring varnishes, stains and wood treatments
• Homogenizing plaster, putty and cement-based mixes
• DIY projects and professional paint preparation

Key specifications

• Shaft type: HEX drive compatible
• Shaft dimensions: 60 × 400 mm (diameter × length)
• Intended media: paints, primers, adhesives, fillers, viscous liquids
• Function: reduces air entrainment and promotes uniform mixing
• Suitable mount: electric drills and mixers with HEX chuck or adapter

How to use

Insert the HEX shaft into the drill or mixer chuck until it seats securely. Place the mixer blade into the container with the material and start the tool at low speed to avoid splashing; gradually increase speed as the ingredients begin to combine. Move the mixer slowly up and down and around the container to achieve even circulation and to ensure material from the bottom and sides is incorporated. Keep the tool steady and avoid high speeds that may introduce excess air or cause spillage. After use, clean the mixer promptly according to the material type to prevent residue build-up.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results use variable-speed drills or mixers and start mixing at low RPM, increasing speed only as needed. Choose a container large enough to allow free movement of the mixer and reduce splashing. When working with solvent-based materials, use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure adequate ventilation. Clean the mixer after each use—solvent for solvent-based products or warm water and detergent for water-based materials—to extend service life.
