Paint and mortar mixer EINHELL TE-MX 1600-2 CE Twin, 1,600 W, red/black

Einhell TE-MX 1600-2 CE Twin is a compact concrete and mortar mixer designed for construction and renovation tasks where controlled, powerful mixing is required. The unit is driven by a 1600 W AC motor rated for 220–240 V and offers a two-speed gearbox with a variable no-load speed range of 180–460 rpm in first speed and 300–750 rpm in second speed. Counter-rotating stirrers and a robust hex mixer chuck with two positioning grooves ensure reliable blending of mortar, tile adhesive, grout and light liquids such as paint or lacquer. The mixer is supplied with two Ø 120 mm mortar mixing paddles with positioning pivots and features a shaft mount on the gear neck for possible stationary operation.

Advantages

The TE-MX 1600-2 CE Twin delivers high torque through its two-speed gearing and dynamic speed control, maintaining consistent output even under load. Counter-rotating stirring tools shorten mixing time and reduce user effort while the soft start function provides safer, smoother start-up. Ergonomic handle design improves handling during extended use and the durable hex chuck with positioning grooves offers secure paddle fixation for steady mixing performance.

Suitable for

• Mixing mortar and plaster for masonry and repair works
• Preparing tile adhesive, grout and cement-based adhesives

How to use

Secure the appropriate Ø 120 mm mortar paddles in the hex mixer chuck using the positioning grooves and ensure the paddles are fitted correctly. Connect the mixer to a 220–240 V supply and select the recommended speed range or gear according to material viscosity: start in the lower speed range for high-viscosity materials and switch to the higher range for faster blending of lighter mixtures. Use the soft start feature to begin mixing smoothly, then apply steady, controlled motion to the mixing container or bucket. For stationary operation, mount the shaft on the gear neck as required and follow safe mounting procedures.

Recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment such as gloves, safety glasses and dust mask when mixing dry mortars or cement. Do not exceed the recommended capacity of the mixing container. Clean paddles and chuck after each use to avoid hardened residues. Only use compatible accessories designed for this model and inspect the power cable and chuck before each use.
