The MC64P Multiquip Polyethylene-Drum Concrete Mixer is renowned for its exceptional blend of durability, performance, and ease of maintenance, making it a top choice for professionals and contractors working on residential, commercial, or industrial projects. With a unique polyethylene drum design and flexible power options, the MC64P series is designed to maximize productivity and longevity even in demanding environments.

Product Overview: MC64P Multiquip Polyethylene-Drum Concrete Mixer

The MC64P Multiquip Polyethylene-Drum Concrete Mixer features a robust 6-cubic foot (165-liter) capacity, allowing users to batch large volumes of concrete efficiently. Its drum is constructed using premium polyethylene, which offers several key advantages over traditional steel drums: it resists dents, cracks, and corrosion; does not rust; and incorporates Multiquip’s proprietary EasyClean technology. With EasyClean, dried concrete can be removed easily with a few taps of a rubber mallet, minimizing downtime and maximizing mixer longevity.

Key Features

• 6 cubic foot (165 liters) mixing capacity: Suitable for small to mid-sized paving, footing, and slab pours.

• High-strength polyethylene drum: Eliminates rust, resists dents, and is simple to clean even after extended use.

• Multiple power options: Available models include Honda GX240 (7.9 HP), Honda GX160 (4.8 HP), Kohler CH395 (9.5 HP), and a 1.5 HP Baldor electric motor. This flexibility means contractors can choose gas or electric based on jobsite demands.

• Manual dump and V-belt drive: Ensures reliable operation and straightforward mechanical maintenance.

• Heavy-duty, tubular steel frame: Designed for rugged jobsite conditions and long-term durability.

• Wide drum opening: A 19-inch diameter allows for easy loading of materials, improving workflow.

• Compact and portable: With overall dimensions of 102" L x 51" W x 59" H, it’s designed for simple transport, loading, and setup.

• Operating weight: Approximately 656 lbs (1510 kg), providing stability but also enabling maneuverability if needed.

Technical Specifications

EasyClean Drum Technology

One of the signature innovations of the MC64P is its EasyClean drum. Unlike steel drums, which can require significant effort and harsh chemicals for cleaning, the polyethylene drum allows dried concrete to be released with just a few gentle taps. This dramatically reduces time spent on mixer maintenance and prevents damage that can come from forceful or abrasive cleaning techniques.

Power Source Flexibility

Users can choose electric or gasoline power models based on jobsite constraints, infrastructure, and environmental needs. The electric version is ideal for indoor or zero-emission worksites, offering a quiet running profile and compatibility with household outlets. Gas-powered variants, fitted with either Honda or Kohler engines, deliver increased portability and are better suited for remote or outdoor settings.

Reliability and Performance

The MC64P mixer’s heavy-duty components, including its cast-iron bull gear and strong tubular frame, ensure stability during operation and longevity over years of use. It is engineered to minimize vibration, maximize mixing uniformity, and allow for even distribution of aggregate throughout the mix.

Applications

• Footings and foundation pours

• Slab and sidewalk construction

• Masonry block filling

• Infrastructure repairs

• General concrete patching

Its capacity and efficiency make the MC64P a preferred choice for small to medium project scopes, and its portability further broadens its usability range.

User Experience and Jobsite Advantages

• Wide drum opening and manual dump lever: Streamlines batch loading and pouring.

• Powder coat frame: Provides superior resistance to wear, weather, and jobsite abuse.

• Tires: Rugged B78x13 or pneumatic tires enable simple maneuvering through rough terrain.

• Low maintenance: With its EasyClean drum and easily accessible grease points, the MC64P reduces daily upkeep compared to steel drum mixers.

Safety and Compliance

Safety features include guarded V-belt drives, stable footing, and configured discharge height to minimize operator strain. All electric models are UL- and CSA-approved, complying with stringent North American safety standards.

Accessories and Options

Choose from optional tow bars with various hitch types (ball, loop, or pin), cable carriers, weather-resistant covers, and additional blades for specific mixing needs. These add-ons provide even more adaptability for specialized projects or frequent transport.
