IMER – MIX 360 (MORTARMAN) – Towable 9CF Output, Vertical Shaft Mortar Mixer is a high‑capacity, batch‑plant style mixer engineered for contractors who need to mix very low‑slump mortar, dry pack, refractory cement, and even UHPC with unmatched speed and consistency. With a 12 cu ft drum, 9 cu ft (approx. 800 lb) batch output, vertical shaft paddle system, and towable highway‑rated chassis, it performs like a mini batch plant on busy masonry, stucco, precast, and refractory jobsites.

Overview of the IMER MIX 360 (Mortarman) Vertical Shaft Mortar Mixer

The IMER MIX 360, formerly named the Mortarman 360, is a towable vertical shaft mixer that uses concrete batch plant principles: paddles rotate through the mix instead of lifting and dropping it like traditional drum mortar mixers. This horizontal sweeping and planetary mixing action, paired with free‑spinning trident paddles, delivers fast, thorough mixing and rapid, complete discharge of up to 9 cu ft of material per batch.

Vertical shaft mixers like the Mix 360 easily handle very low slump materials such as dry pack mortar, refractory cement, and ultra‑high performance concrete (UHPC), while still mixing standard mortars, stuccos, and sand‑cement blends. IMER highlights that the Mix 360 offers “unparalleled production and jobsite/plant safety,” making it suitable for both on‑site mixing and small precast plant operations.

Key Specifications: Drum, Capacity, and Power

As a Towable 9CF Output, Vertical Shaft Mortar Mixer, the MIX 360 is built for serious production.

Drum and capacity:

• Drum capacity: 12 cu ft

• Batch output: 9 cu ft (approx. 800 lb / 700 lb depending on spec)

• Drum diameter: 38 in

• Maximum aggregate size: 3/8 in

• Discharge outlet height: 30 in max / 18 in min

Power options (models vary by region and vendor):

• Gas engine: 11–13 HP Honda GX (GX390 / GXV390 class), depending on configuration.

• Electric motor: 5–5.5 HP, 220–240V, single‑phase or 3‑phase models available (e.g., 5 HP 220V single phase, 5 HP 220V 3‑phase, 5 HP 440V 3‑phase).

Dimensions and weight (typical Mix 360 gas model):

• Length: ~59 in

• Width: ~44–58 in (specs vary slightly by source)

• Height: ~44–58 in

• Machine weight: ~787–800 lb (electric vs gas within this range)

• Pneumatic wheels: 18 in highway‑rated tires

These specs make the IMER – MIX 360 (MORTARMAN) – Towable 9CF Output, Vertical Shaft Mortar Mixer a compact yet extremely capable towable mixer for high‑volume professional use.

Vertical Shaft “Mini Batch Plant” Mixing System

The MIX 360 uses a vertical shaft and planetary mixing system instead of a rotating barrel.

Key mixing features:

• Planetary mixing system: Horizontal sweeping paddles combined with free‑spinning trident paddles rotate through the mix, ensuring all material is constantly moved and blended.

• Rubber‑tipped paddles: Many configurations include paddles with rubber inserts that scrape the drum bottom and sides, helping clean the mixing drum and reduce buildup.

• High‑torque “monster” gearboxes: The paddle systems are powered by heavy‑duty gearboxes developed in IMER’s batch plant division, delivering tremendous mixing torque for stiff and low‑slump mixes.

Because the paddles rotate through the mix rather than tumbling it, the Mix 360 can mix extremely stiff dry pack, refractory, and UHPC as easily as more fluid mortars and stuccos. IMER notes that the lower the slump and the stiffer the mud, the better the Mix 360 performs.

Materials and Applications

The IMER MIX 360 (Mortarman) is designed for a wide range of materials, especially those that conventional mortar mixers struggle with. Typical materials include:

• Dry pack mortar and deck mud (very low slump)

• Mason’s mortar for block, brick, and stone

• Stucco and plaster (base and finish coats)

• Sand and cement screeds and toppings

• Refractory cements and castables

• UHPC and specialty high‑strength mortars

• Concrete with up to 3/8 in aggregate (small batches)

Common applications:

• Masonry projects needing continuous large mortar batches.

• Stucco and EIFS jobs on multi‑story buildings.

• Precast and GFRC shops needing fast, homogeneous mixes.

• Refractory lining and repair work in industrial facilities.

• Decorative and precast concrete operations using small aggregate mixes.

With its 9 cu ft, ~800 lb output, the Mix 360 can keep multiple masons, finishers, or nozzlemen supplied with material continuously when used in a well‑organized workflow.

Towable Chassis, Adjustable Legs, and Discharge

The Mix 360 is a fully towable mixer designed for highway and jobsite mobility.

Tow and support features:

• Tow package: Bar and hitch included as standard, suitable for towing behind standard work trucks.

• 18 in pneumatic highway tires with torsion bar suspension for smoother towing and better stability.

• Four adjustable legs to accommodate different working positions, discharge heights, and ground conditions.

Discharge system:

• Controlled gravity‑fed discharge through the bottom of the drum.

• Discharge outlet height adjustable between 18 in and 30 in, so you can dump into wheelbarrows, tubs, or hoppers without excessive spillage.

The adjustable legs and discharge height make it easy to set the Mix 360 up as a “mini batch plant,” feeding wheelbarrows, mud tubs, or even pump hoppers as needed.

Safety, iDust Grate, and Low Maintenance Drive

IMER emphasizes safety and low maintenance on the Mix 360 (Mortarman) line.

Safety and dust control:

• One‑piece hinged grate with auto shutoff: Raising the production grate automatically stops paddle rotation, protecting operators from contact while loading bags.

• Bag‑splitting grate: The loading grid includes blades for splitting bags, reducing strain and speeding up loading.

• Optional iDust grate: Newer models and options include an IMER iDust grate, which pairs with a vacuum to pull dust down and away during loading, significantly reducing airborne silica.

Low maintenance drive system:

• Oil‑bath gearbox: The drive system is fully enclosed in an oil‑bath gearbox with no zerk fittings to grease or bearings to pack.

• No daily lubrication: IMER states there are no daily maintenance procedures; simply service the mixer at regular intervals or when the job is completed.

This combination of auto‑shutoff grate, dust control options, and sealed gearbox makes the Mix 360 safer and easier to own than many conventional crown‑gear mortar mixers.

Productivity and Performance Advantages

The IMER – MIX 360 (MORTARMAN) – Towable 9CF Output, Vertical Shaft Mortar Mixer is built for speed and consistency:

• 9 cu ft / 800 lb batch output means fewer batches are needed to supply a crew compared to 6–7 cu ft drum mixers.

• Forced‑action vertical shaft mixing delivers fast, homogeneous mixes, reducing mixing time per batch.

• High torque from “monster gearboxes” allows you to pre‑blend a full batch of dry material, then add water and finish mixing without stressing the machine.

• Rapid and complete discharge clears the drum quickly so you can start the next batch without delays.

Typical Users and Jobsite Scenarios

The Mix 360 is popular with:

• Masonry contractors running large CMU, brick, or stone projects.

• Stucco and plaster crews on large façades and multi‑unit developments.

• Precast and GFRC manufacturers needing consistent, small‑aggregate mixes.

• Refractory contractors working in plants, kilns, furnaces, and industrial facilities.

• Rental yards that supply high‑output mixers to professional trades.

Jobsite scenarios where the MIX 360 (Mortarman) excels:

• Supplying mortar to multiple masons on a long block wall or multi‑building project.

• Producing continuous dry pack for large shower decks, balconies, or industrial floors.

• Mixing refractory castables for lining repair in industrial processing equipment.

• Producing UHPC or specialty patching materials with demanding mix requirements.

Its combination of 9 cu ft output, towable mobility, and vertical shaft power makes it a central production tool on demanding jobs.
