The WM70P Whiteman Polyethylene-Drum Plaster/Mortar Mixer is a cutting-edge solution designed to tackle mixing challenges on busy jobsites. Manufactured by Multiquip, this mixer combines the legendary toughness and mixing quality of the Whiteman brand with low-maintenance, EasyClean™ polyethylene drum technology—giving both contractors and rental fleets the best of longevity, user-friendliness, and industry-standard results.
WM70P Overview: The Polyethylene Drum Advantage
The WM70P delivers a 7-cubic-foot mixing capacity, providing ample output for masons and contractors working with grout, mortar, plaster, and specialty blends. Unlike traditional steel drums, the heavy-duty polyethylene drum is nonstick and dent-proof. Multiquip’s EasyClean™ drum system eliminates the painstaking chipping and scraping associated with concrete cleanup—just a few taps with a mallet, and dried residue drops out, keeping the drum surface pristine and minimizing downtime or repairs due to corrosion.
Technical Specifications
WM70P: Jobsite Features & Field-Tested Benefits
-
EasyClean™ Poly Drum: Forget hours of scraping concrete—just a tap with a mallet releases dried material, prevents rust/corrosion, and extends the drum’s life many times over steel equivalents.
-
Optimized Mix Consistency: High-strength cast iron paddle arms and rubber blades offer aggressive tumbling, ensuring that every batch is smooth and uniform. The sharp, internal blades navigate sticky and heavy mortars as effortlessly as thin grouts.
-
Heavy-Duty Frame & Axle: The steel-reinforced, powder-coated frame resists bending, vibration, and road abuse, while the solid axle and big tires ensure smooth towing at highway speeds or across rugged jobsites.
-
Superior Safety: Standard heavy-duty safety grate with a built-in bag cutter, drum lock for mix/tow modes, and a secure engine mount all keep operators and crews protected. The removable tongue and solid suspension make it safe and easy to park or position.
-
Maintenance Simplicity: With greaseable, double-sealed shaft bearings (and an innovative seep hole system that signals when bearings need attention), the WM70P is engineered for lasting service with minimal intervention.
-
Full Range of Power: Order with a durable electric (115V/230V) or Honda gas engine for quiet indoor work or rugged outdoor production, respectively. Every configuration meets industry demands for load and cycle time.
Application Versatility
-
Masonry, block, and stonework mortar
-
Plaster, stucco, and render premixes
-
Tuckpoint, grout blends, and fireproofing
-
Repair batches, overlays, and specialty jobs
Its 7-cubic-foot capacity empowers masons and finishers to deliver continuous mixes for walls, bedding, or exterior finishes—keeping pacing consistent for multi-bag runs. The one/two-person dump handle ensures clean pours into wheelbarrows, pans, or pump hoppers.
Durability & Rental Fleet Advantages
Rental companies and equipment managers consistently report lower lifetime costs with the WM70P due to:
-
Zero drum rust or dent repairs
-
Faster turnarounds—less downtime for cleaning
-
Bolted bearing housings and easy-access parts for repairs
-
Cross-compatible parts with the WM steel-drum line
Even for high-demand, all-season rental fleets, the WM70P resists the wear, weather, and user abuse that often shortens steel-drum mixer lifespans.
