The WM90P Whiteman Polyethylene-Drum Plaster/Mortar Mixer is a premier choice for contractors and rental professionals who need maximum mixing efficiency, quick cleanout, and long-lasting durability in the harshest jobsite conditions. Multiquip’s design delivers impressive capacity, outstanding reliability, and minimal maintenance—raising the bar for heavy-duty plaster, mortar, and grout mixing in commercial, industrial, and large residential projects.
Product Overview
The WM90P is part of Multiquip’s industry-proven Whiteman mixer line. Its standout feature is the EasyClean 9-cubic-foot polyethylene drum, engineered to resist build-up, corrosion, and impact damage. Unlike traditional steel drums, the poly drum makes clean-up after sticky mortar, stucco, or colored batches simple and fast—with just a few mallet taps, residual material drops out, slashing maintenance time and lowering labor costs.
Supporting up to 2.5–3.5 bags of dry mix per batch (248 liters), the drum is paired with high-strength cast iron paddle arms with rubber wipers, ensuring smooth, lump-free mixes every time. The entire unit rides on a rugged, powder-coated steel frame with a heavy-duty axle, large tires for smooth towing, and forklift pockets for safer, speedier mobility on and off the jobsite.
Engine Variants and Options
A key advantage of the WM90P is its broad range of power choices, letting crews match the mixer to their fuel preference, emissions requirements, or field needs:
-
WM90PE: 3 HP Electric Motor (230V, single-phase); preferred for indoor, “green building,” or low-noise projects.
-
WM90PH8: Honda GX-240, 7.9 HP Gasoline Engine; industry gold standard for reliability, cold starts, and field maintenance across North America.
-
WM90PLF: 9 HP MPower Engine; offers heavy-duty power and excellent performance for rentals and high-output applications.
