Belle Minimix 150 Concrete Mixer: The Go-To Mixer for Every Job
The Belle Minimix 150 is arguably the most popular and recognizable small concrete mixer in the UK, a true industry standard. This compact, heavy-duty, and portable tip-up mixer is designed for professional builders, DIY enthusiasts, and rental fleets, offering exceptional durability and efficient mixing for all small to medium building projects. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability even in challenging site conditions.
Features
- Ideal Mixing Capacity:
- Drum Volume: A substantial 130 litres (or 136 litres on some specifications)
- Mixing Output: Efficiently mixes up to 90 litres (approximately a full barrow load) of concrete, mortar, render, or other building materials per batch. This allows for productive work without the need for excessively large and heavy machinery.
- Electric (110V): Powered by a robust 0.75 Hp (0.55 kW) electric motor. Ideal for indoor work or sites with readily available mains electricity, offering quieter, emission-free operation. Electric models are typically IP45 sealed for dust and water resistance and feature thermal overload protection
- Heavy-Duty Sealed Cast Gearbox: Features a robust, permanently lubricated, and sealed cast gearbox. This design eliminates the need for frequent maintenance, protects against ingress of dust and debris, and ensures a longer operational life compared to belt-driven mixers.
- Extra Thick Drum with Quick Mix Paddles: The drum is constructed from extra-thick steel for enhanced durability and resistance to deformation. Inside, specially designed "Quick Mix" paddles (typically 2 paddles per drum) ensure a fast, thorough, and consistent mix quality.
- Flexible Operation (On or Off Stand): The mixer can be used both on and off its supplied swivel stand.
- On Stand: The included barrow-height swivel stand elevates the drum to an ergonomic height, allowing for comfortable mixing and easy, direct discharge into a wheelbarrow.
- Off Stand: The mixer can be removed from the stand and used on the ground, making it even more compact and portable for transport or use in very confined spaces.
- Compact & Portable Design: Despite its robust build, the Minimix 150 is relatively lightweight (approx. 55-69 kg depending on power option, excluding stand) and compact. This makes it easy to transport in small vans, estate cars, or even on a standard wheelbarrow, simplifying site-to-site movement.
- User-Friendly Tipping System: The well-balanced drum and large tipping wheel/lever (with foot-operated lock on some models) allow for effortless and precise tipping and discharge of mixed materials.
- Full Thermal Overload Protection (Electric Models): The electric models are equipped with thermal overload protection, which automatically shuts off the motor if it overheats, preventing damage and ensuring safety.
- CE Compliant with NVR (No Volt Release) Safety Power Switch: Ensures the mixer meets European safety standards. The NVR switch prevents the mixer from automatically restarting after a power cut, enhancing operator safety.
- Weight (without stand) 55.5 kg
- Stand Weight 9.5 kg
