Suitable locations Internal and external use
Mixing methods Hand mixing or a traditional concrete mixer

Mixing and Application Guidance

Prepare the work area before mixing. Remove loose material and ensure surfaces are free from oil and grease.

Add approximately 2–2.6 litres of clean water per 20kg bag and mix by hand or with a traditional concrete mixer. Avoid overmixing or adding excessive water, as this can reduce strength, bond and durability and cause cracking. All required dry components are included; do not add other products or materials.

This concrete is fast-setting and should be used within 30 minutes of adding water. Fully compact it before finishing. Do not add more water or remix to restore workability after the initial set.

After placing, protect the concrete from drying out by covering it with a suitable material, such as polythene or wet hessian.

For structural applications, confirm that the product meets your project’s specified requirements.

Storage

Store unopened bags in cool, dry conditions, raised off the ground on a pallet or shelf and protected from wind and rain.

FAQ

The MudMixer is a continuous-feed concrete mixer designed to mix bagged concrete, mortar and other cement-based materials quickly and consistently. Unlike traditional drum mixers, it continuously mixes material as you work, helping reduce downtime and increase productivity on site.

The name MudMixer comes from the construction industry’s long-standing use of the word mud to describe materials such as mortar, concrete, cement mixes and other wet construction products. While “mud” isn’t literally soil or earth, it’s a common term used by builders and tradespeople, particularly in North America, to refer to mixed cement-based materials.

Despite its name, the MudMixer isn’t designed for mixing soil or clay. It’s engineered to continuously mix a wide range of bagged construction materials, including concrete, mortar and sand-and-cement mixes, delivering a consistent, high-quality mix directly where you need it.

The name reflects the machine’s original roots, but its performance makes it an ideal solution for professional builders, landscapers, groundworkers, fencing contractors and anyone looking to mix concrete or mortar faster and more efficiently.

Simply load bagged material into the hopper, adjust the integrated water supply and the MudMixer continuously produces mixed material as required. There’s no need to stop and reload after every batch, making it significantly faster than conventional drum mixers.

The MudMixer is suitable for most pre-bagged:

* Concrete
* Mortar
* Sand and cement mixes
* Floor screeds (where manufacturer recommendations allow)
* Other cement-based bagged products

Always follow the material manufacturer’s guidance and ensure the product is suitable for continuous mixing.

While experienced DIY users can benefit from the MudMixer, it has been designed primarily for professional contractors, builders, landscapers, groundworkers and civil engineering teams who regularly work with bagged materials.

The MudMixer can process over 80 standard bags per hour under optimum working conditions, allowing you to keep working without the stop-start delays of traditional batch mixing. See the full MudMixer specifications or use our Concrete Calculator to estimate the material required for your next project.

Yes. The integrated adjustable water system helps deliver a consistent mix throughout the job, reducing waste and improving quality.

Yes. The MudMixer is designed so that one operator can efficiently mix material, allowing other team members to focus on laying, finishing, or other site activities.

Yes. Because the MudMixer continuously mixes material rather than producing individual batches, it can dramatically reduce mixing time and improve on-site productivity.

The MudMixer is perfect for:

* Garden rooms
* House extensions
* Foundations
* Footings
