Nozzle on a drill for mixing the solution, can I use a hammer drill as a mixer? Varieties of electric construction mixers and nozzles for them Construction mixer nozzle for a drill with your own hands.

Both the mixer and the electric drill are far from essential items. Not everyone can afford to keep both at home. But even if you can boast of having an electric drill at home, most often it is the most powerful kilowatt machine, which is convenient for drilling walls. But drilling radio boards with it or repairing shoes will be hard, isn't it? Therefore, I had the idea to make a special nozzle for the mixer, with which now you can not only cook an omelet, but also drill a hole in a hard-to-reach place.

The adapter for the drill is inserted into the socket of the “quick knife” nozzle. If you have a rubber joint between the mixer and the attachment, you will have to redo it too. For the effort that he is able to transmit is not enough even for the operation of a coffee grinder. A square is best for connecting, but a hexagon is also suitable.

The drawing shows the dimensions of the details of the nozzle for the MP-2E mixer manufactured by the Minsk Electrical Equipment Plant, but due to the similarity of all models of mixers, the correction will be quite insignificant. I took the cartridge from a hand drill. You should not count on drills with a diameter of more than 5 mm even when drilling wood (after all, the power of the mixer motor does not exceed 100 W), so if you have a choice, the cartridge should be chosen as small as possible.

The scheme for making a drill from a mixer with your own hands

Parts 3 and 4 require turning on a lathe; in the absence of a head of the required size for part 3, the hexagon groove will have to be milled. In the case of complete production of part 3, a slight improvement can be made, which is as follows. To exclude an additional friction surface between 3 and 4, make a selection for the hexagon with a slope of 5-6 degrees relative to the horizontal axis. This is necessary so that the head, sitting on the hexagon, engages with it when moving and is wedged by friction forces. In this case, there will be a small gap between the head and the sleeve, which will prevent additional heating of the assembly and the associated power loss.

Part 4 can be made from any structural steel, but if you can find a piece of polyethylene of the right size, the structure will only benefit. If structural steel is used, a through hole should be provided in the sleeve for shaft lubrication; the polyethylene sleeve should be lubricated with grease. Usually the chuck shaft is surface hardened and the MB thread should cut easily. The nozzle is assembled as follows. A sleeve is put on the chuck shaft, then the head is screwed on. The nozzle assembly is screwed to the mixer along the M3O thread.

The use of the attachment is also supported by the fact that the mixer, unlike most electric drills, has a smooth speed control, which creates additional convenience during work. By the way, maybe you have an old enlarger lying around? In the conditions of the Kodak victorious offensive, you will hardly need it already, and its tripod can be adapted for a drilling machine. A tripod with a gear rack from the Upa enlarger is especially convenient. The adjustment handwheel feeds the drill as smoothly as on a drilling machine. If you have a low-power drill "Master", you can place it on a tripod as well.

Video instruction - how to make a drill from a mixer

We will need from materials and tools:
1. Aluminum thick wire (In my case - 8mm)
2. Vise.
3. Large pliers or pliers.
4. Pipe ("gas") wrench.
5. "Bulgarian", chisel, hacksaw, or any other cutting tool to cut the wire.

I am currently building an extension to my house. Before erecting the roof of the extension, I decided to cultivate the pediment of the house, to which, in fact, the extension will adjoin. It turned out that the pediment needed to be painted. Since it was built of brick, I decided to do this with the help of a compressor and a spray gun, because it is quite troublesome to paint over deep masonry joints with a roller. I decided to use an acrylic-based facade water-dispersion paint. I specially went to the construction market to buy two things - the actual paint and a mixer, which, holding it in a drill, can stir this paint when water is added to it. (For this method of application, the paint must be liquid). Arriving at the market, I chose the paint, bought it and drove off to the site.... I forgot about the mixer...

It turned out that I forgot not only about the mixer, but also about the primer - the surface to be painted must first be treated with a deep-penetrating primer....

Well... I had to go back. Again the construction market... I chose a primer and left. Having changed clothes and prepared the compressor, I remembered ..... that I forgot about the mixer again !!!)))))

What to do?.. Don't stir a twenty-liter bucket of paint by hand!... After thinking for a minute, I decided to get by with "improvised means". In the shed I found these pieces of thick aluminum wire:

We measure the length equal to the depth of the paint bucket, plus 10 centimeters, clamp it in a vise and bend it 90 degrees:

After that, we make another bend:

Further, grabbing with a pipe wrench (the vise is already too wide))), with the help of pliers we twist the wire into a spiral. I sawed off the excess with a grinder. (I could not photograph this process, because my hands were busy)))).

In the end, we got a great mixer, and did not have to spend money ...

From time to time, even the strongest and most independent woman who does not like to cook wants to feel like a real culinary specialist.

Inspiration for culinary exploits can overtake a woman at any time, the absence of a mixer should not prevent her from accomplishing them.

As a rule, such a desire is not limited to simple scrambled eggs, you definitely want something like that. For example, to make a mind-blowing bizet, but, unfortunately, there was no mixer at hand, without which it is simply impossible to beat the protein properly. A sudden creative impulse should not be suppressed by the mere absence of a mixer. Homemade can be mixers for the kitchen, children's or construction.

If there is a whisk, then an ordinary drill can save the situation

Homemade kitchen mixer

Quite by ourselves. For this you will need:

First of all, you need to get a motor. It should be powerful enough to handle egg white, but we won’t talk about products with a firmer consistency for now. A suitable motor can be obtained from an old cassette player for example.
Tin. Everything is simpler here, you can cut off a piece from a can of any drink.
Plastic lid from a jar.
A couple of plastic cups.
You will also need a switch.
The power supply is selected depending on the power of the motor.
And of course, all this will be done with a regular screwdriver.

One of the motor options

Capacity and Drive

It's time to take action. We start with a glass in which we need to make a small hole. To do this, we heat the metal end of the screwdriver with matches or a lighter, then with a heated tip we make a hole right in the center of the bottom of the cup.

Next, we place a motor in the center of the glass and circle its edges with a marker, marking in this way where it will be located. While the engine is retracted to the side and manipulations with the glass continue. That is, it is clear that the mixer body is assembled first of all.

Now you need to cut a hole along the lines marked with a marker with a clerical knife at the bottom of the glass, into which the motor will be placed. The motor should fit snugly into the hole, not fall out of it, so the hole size should be slightly smaller than the motor.

This motor will be more than enough

Nutrition and communications

Now you need to prepare a place for the switch and wiring. If the power supply has two wires, then one is attached to the switch and the other to the motor. Then the switch and the gearbox are interconnected using a piece of copper wire.

Thus, a kind of mixer body is obtained. In order not to worry that the structure will fall apart, you can fix the motor and switch with superglue.

Screw

Let's move on to the second step. A tin can is needed to make a screw. To do this, we put a thin piece cut off from the can into a ring, with the second piece of the same piece you need to wrap the resulting ring in the middle, so that you end up with a figure resembling a butterfly. We got the screw, now we put a silicone nozzle on it with glue, which will be put on the pin.

While the tin is set aside until the glue dries. We return again to the body with the motor. Place the glass cut side down. Here you will need a second glass, in which a hole has already been made with a screwdriver. It must be installed on top of the motor. The result is a design in the form of a glass on a stand. In the center of the cup is placed a pin pre-glued to the motor, about a centimeter long.

During this time, the glue on the screw should have dried completely. We attach it to the pin. Done, now you can try. We put the necessary ingredients in a glass with a screw, cover with a plastic lid for mixing without splashing, and turn on the mixer.

Homemade doll mixer

Each child enters the age when he wants to be like an adult, necessary, responsible, to do the same as adults, girls in this period more often copy the behavior of their mothers, and boys of their fathers. The child shows interest in household chores, including trying to help parents in the kitchen. However, not all household appliances can be allowed to children. For example, a mixer is not a safe toy at all and improper operation can lead to tragic consequences.

You can get out of this situation so that the child is satisfied, and the parents are calm. Namely, to assemble your own mixer for him. For this you will need:

Plastic tube.
Electric motor.
Any two wires.
Batteries or portable power supply.
USB cable
Small switch.

It will not be difficult to make such a simple device, and the child will be satisfied not only with the result, but also with the assembly process itself. Yes, and an adult will enjoy creating something with his own hands from improvised means, you can feel like the host of the Crazy Hands program.

So, we start with the fact that the switch is glued with a silicone gun or superglue to the motor. Next, we take the USB cable, cut off one side of it to free the wiring, peel off the rubberized base from the wiring by about two centimeters. There should be two wires. We connect one to the motor, the other to the switch. After that, the switch and the motor are interconnected by a copper wire. It is better to fix the wiring with a soldering iron, but if it is not at hand, then you can just twist them properly.

Children love it when something is done especially for them, he will appreciate it more than the most expensive toy.

Now it's the turn of the drinking tube, cut it into two pieces 6 centimeters long. We glue them together well along. A motor is attached to the bottom of the connected tubes. While the glue dries, we take on the stirring element. To do this, you need a simple lollipop stick. A quarter of the stick must be bent in such a way that the letter “G” is obtained from the stick. With an even tip, we attach the stick to the pin at the base of the mixer. Ready. We connect the USB cable to a portable battery or any other source of energy and press the switch. Such a miniature mixer will perfectly cope with mixing tea or eggs, and there will be no limit to the delight of the child.

DIY construction mixer

The repair process is very time-consuming and, sometimes, you can’t keep track of everything. For example, you need to mix a concrete solution, now everything is bought and ready, when it suddenly turns out that the construction mixer is out of order or it was not there at all. How to be in such a situation? Run to the store? But extra expenses cannot always be foreseen, and there may simply not be funds for such a purchase. You can get out of the situation by making a concrete mixer yourself. For such a mixer you will need:

Drill.
Hairpin 8, 40 cm long.
Four metal plates.
Nuts and washers.

So, work begins with a hairpin. It must be turned in such a way that it is convenient to wind the nut. On the other hand, you need to grind off the hairpin under the triangle. This is necessary in order to properly attach it to the drill.

Next, we take on the plates. With an 8 mm drill, it is necessary to make one more hole from the edge on each. Now you can proceed to the assembly of the mixer. A nut, a washer, then a platinum are installed on the length of the stud. The distance must be at least three centimeters. The upper and lower plates must be bent according to the principle of blades.

It should look like this

The second end of the hairpin is attached to the drill, that's it, the construction mixer is ready. However, this type of home-made construction mixers will handle only a small amount of mortar.

Such a mixer will not master large volumes of work

For mixing more liquid substances, for example, paint, this option is also suitable.

For a large amount of mortar, you will need a concrete mixer, which you can also make yourself, but this will take much more time and materials, so it will be easier to borrow from friends or use rental services. Moreover, such a device is more useful when completely independent than requiring constant supervision. In this case, it is better to choose the gravitational method of mixing the solution.

An example of a concrete mixer made by yourself

The main thing to remember is that when assembling any mixer, you must follow safety precautions, and if you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better not to take on such painstaking work, but go to the store and buy a decent product.

When carrying out various construction and repair work, it is very often necessary to mix several components to obtain a homogeneous composition of the mixture, whether it be various varnishes, paints, putties or sand-cement mortars. Preparing a quality mixture by hand is quite difficult. To carry out such work, a construction mixer will become an indispensable assistant - a special device that will significantly reduce labor costs, save time and get a high-quality mixture.

Classification by design

Structurally, all mixing devices consist of a drive and a nozzle. An electric motor, a gearbox, a nozzle attachment system and controls (switch, speed switch) are installed in the drive housing. Nozzles are special devices that are fixed on the drive and with which the components of the mixture are mixed. By purpose and scope, modern construction mixers are divided into two classes:

Drill mixers are dual-purpose devices. They are equipped with a cam chuck, which allows you to securely fix in it both nozzles for mixing building mixtures (with an appropriate shank diameter) and drills for arranging large diameter holes. Such a tool belongs to low-speed drills, therefore it cannot functionally replace a conventional electric drill. However, low rotational speeds and high torque make it possible to use them not only to mix a wide variety of solutions (up to heavy cement or sand and gravel), but also to use them for drilling large holes even in very hard materials.

Construction electric mixers are highly specialized tools that are designed only for mixing various mixtures. The range of these devices is very diverse, you can even pick up a construction mixer that will successfully replace a household concrete mixer (and not inferior to it in performance, but significantly superior to it in terms of ease of transportation and variety of functionality). These devices are single-spindle (they provide for the installation of only one nozzle) and duplex (they install two nozzles at once, which rotate in opposite directions).

Of course, when using any construction mixer, you will need an appropriate container for mixing the components.

Varieties of mixers depending on power

Depending on the power, which is the main technical characteristic that determines the scope, construction mixers (both highly specialized and drill-mixers) can be divided into three main groups:

Advice! When we choose a construction hand mixer, it is necessary to take into account not only its power, but also its weight. The more powerful the device, the heavier it is, which means that it will be more difficult to work with it.

Varieties of nozzle attachment systems

Construction mixers from various manufacturers are equipped with different devices for fixing the nozzle:

A chuck in which the shank is fixed with a special crimp key (like a conventional electric drill).
Cam chuck of the QuickFix system (like a household screwdriver - crimping is carried out without the use of a special tool).
Threaded connection of the shank to the mixer M12, M14 (much less often M21), using a conventional wrench, which is included with the electric mixer.
Cartridges SDS-plus and SDS-max (the design is similar to the fastening of drills in household rotary hammers).
HEX system chucks (8, 10 or 12), for quick change and clamping of fixtures with hex shank with spring lock groove according to ISO 1173 E3.

Construction mixer attachments: shapes and sizes

The nozzle for an electric construction mixer is a bar, at one end of which there is a whisk for mixing, and at the other end there is a shank for attaching the nozzle to the drive. After you have decided on the composition of the mixture to be mixed, you can choose the shape of the whisk. And the bit shank standard should match your power tool.

Varieties of shanks for mixer nozzles

Now on sale there are a large number of nozzles for a mixer with shanks of various shapes:

Ordinary hexagon, size 8, 9 or 10 mm. Such devices are designed for use in power tools that have a conventional cam chuck.
Hexagonal (8, 10 or 12 mm) with a groove for spring fastening in HEX chucks (they can also be used in power tools with a conventional chuck).
Thread M12, M14 and 21X1.5. Attachments with such shanks can only be used in highly specialized mixers.
Shanks designed for installation in SDS-plus chucks (can also be used in a simple hammer drill).

Sizes and shapes of whisk attachments for a mixer

Nozzles for hashing let out:

Standard lengths 400 and 600 mm (for some, extensions 400 mm are provided - total length up to 1 m).
The diameter of the whisk (the part intended for mixing) is from 80 to 220 mm.

The shape of the whisk is chosen depending on the mixture to be mixed. The main forms of whisks:

Spiral. Such corollas are divided into right-handed, in which the spiral is twisted clockwise, and left-handed, in which the spiral is twisted counterclockwise. Right-hand whisks in the process of mixing raise the solution from the bottom up and are designed for heavy or thick mixtures (concrete, sand and gravel, bituminous). Left-handed spirals, on the contrary, while stirring, capture the mixture from above and lower it down. They are designed for mixing various paint and varnish compositions, various fluid mixtures and liquid putties, since splashing does not occur during their use.

On a note! If the construction mixer is equipped with a reverse system that ensures the rotation of the whisk both clockwise and counterclockwise, then only one nozzle (right-hand or left-hand) can be used for different mixture compositions.

Whiskers with straight blades. Mixing occurs only in a horizontal plane, which prevents the capture of air and its ingress into the mixture. Suitable for mixing various compositions based on gypsum (air ingress is highly undesirable), mixtures for self-leveling floors and the like.

Screw-shaped whisks (the screw is usually made of plastic). Mainly used for light liquid mixtures. Sometimes two screws are installed on the axle: the lower one, which lifts the components up, and the upper one, which prevents the mixture from splashing.

Important! In the technical description, manufacturers indicate what type of mixture a particular whisk is intended for mixing, as well as the maximum recommended amount of solution for which it is designed.

Depending on the size, materials and purpose, the price of these accessories is in the range of 100÷1100 rubles.

homemade mixer

Making an electric mixer with your own hands is quite simple. To do this, you can use an ordinary household electric drill or a hammer drill as a drive. For a drill, fixtures with a shank in the form of a regular hexagon or HEX are suitable. Both of them are conveniently fixed in the cam chuck of a drill. The main thing is that the size of the hex (standard: 8, 10 and 12 mm) corresponds to the maximum size that can be inserted into the drill chuck.

Attention! For mixing solutions, only low-speed drills or devices with speed control can be used.

If you use a hammer drill as a drive (naturally, in shockless mode), then you need to buy nozzles with a shank designed for mounting in an SDS-plus chuck.

However, it should be noted that motors and gearboxes, both for electric drills and rotary hammers (even powerful ones), are designed only for longitudinal load. Therefore, a home-made mixer based on them is quite suitable for mixing light solutions and in small volumes. When mixing solutions, the drive experiences significant radial and horizontal loads, which can lead to overheating and failure of the electric motor. Therefore, it is better not to make a concrete mixer with your own hands from a drill or a puncher. Although their use is quite acceptable when mixing paints, thin putties and other light solutions.

In custody

When choosing a device for mixing mixtures, it is necessary to be guided by their composition and volume. Based on this, you can choose a construction mixer of sufficient power so as not to overpay for a too advanced unit. If you need a mini mixer for mixing concrete, then it is better to purchase a powerful semi-professional tool from a trusted manufacturer.

A drill mixer is a great helper for any builder. Such devices have a fairly powerful engine and two ergonomic handles, which are necessary in order to hold the tool while mixing mortars and mixtures. This is a convenient mechanism that combines several important functions at once.

purpose

The construction sector of the industry does not stand still - every year new compositions appear that are used for the construction of structures, minor and major repairs. Both glue and plaster and many other materials go on sale in the form of a powder, which must be diluted with water in order to make a full-fledged composition out of it.

In order for the components of the mixture to mix as efficiently as possible and make up a homogeneous working mass, it is necessary to choose the right tool. For example, if you can mix wallpaper paste with an ordinary stick, then which method will be ineffective for cement mortars and putties, especially if you need a solution in large volumes.

Mixing building mixtures with improvised means, as a rule, does not give the desired quality of the working composition: many lumps form in it and a large percentage of dry matter remains, which could not get wet properly.

Many users in such situations resort to a puncher, which has the necessary rotation capability; however, experts do not recommend using this method, since the hammer is initially oriented to loads in a different plane without any influence of radial forces. Of course, you can knead a small volume of the solution with it, but in large quantities you risk simply damaging your tool, which, by the way, is quite expensive.

An excellent solution in this situation can be the purchase of a mixer drill, which is optimal for mixing compositions up to 15 liters in one go.

Such devices are optimal both in everyday life and when carrying out professional repairs. Unlike a hammer drill and a conventional drill, they have a stronger bearing, in addition, the mechanism is equipped with a powerful gearbox, which is protected by a particularly durable metal case. Thanks to this set the device can work even at the lowest speed.

An important advantage is also the fact that such the construction mixer can simultaneously perform the function of drilling the surface, that is, in fact, it is a 2 in 1 device.

Types of structures and their characteristics

The drill mixer is used for repair work in large volumes; the user usually holds it in his hands when mixing the solution, because the device has ergonomic handles that make the operation of the tool less laborious. If the engine of the device has a power of more than 1 kW, then a special gearbox is built into it: it is suitable for use not only at the very first speed, but also when switching from first to second.

The first is used to make thick dense mixtures, for example, mastic, and the second - for gypsum and cement. At the second speed it is also possible to stir paints and other liquid substances with a minimum torque.

In order to make work more comfortable, it is better to use tools that are supplemented with a speed stabilizer or inrush current limiters.

Such drills, as a rule, have a different configuration. Usually, they come with several types of nozzles, which can have several shapes.

Right hand spiral mixing attachment- used for such solutions that have a very viscous structure. These include cement, concrete, as well as various kinds of plasters and glue. Such a nozzle kneads the solution, as if pushing it from the bottom up, the composition is mixed at the top, and then falls back.
Left-handed spiral nozzle ideal for mixing paints and varnishes. Here the principle of operation is reversed: the mixture is pushed from top to bottom, where it is stirred and rises back.
Screw nozzles allow you to mix light compositions.
cross- a more specialized nozzle, it is used in cases where it is very important to prevent air from entering the container with the mixture.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of the drill-mixer is the possibility of its multifunctional use. On the one hand, the tool is referred to as a drill, therefore, in addition to mixing mortars, it can be used to form holes in various types of surfaces, even the hardest and densest. On the other hand, a drill of this type belongs to the category of low-speed ones, therefore it cannot replace the drill by 100%, but at the same time, it is low speeds that make it possible to knead even the densest compositions.

Obviously, such a design cannot be used in industrial volumes, its power and design features are not enough to cope with intensive operation. But with the solution of small everyday tasks for minor repairs and decoration of an apartment or a private house, she will cope in full.

Such a drill weighs much more than a conventional one: its mass is more than 3 kg, so frequent drilling with such a unit is associated with significant physical effort.

Principle of operation and features of use

Depending on the principle of operation, there are three types of tools:

drill mixer;
drill mixer with one whisk;
device with two beaters.

A conventional electric drill-mixer is a low-speed, non-impact type. The power of this tool ranges from 500 to 2000 W, there are 2 comfortable handles, a rather large cartridge with a diameter of up to 16 mm.

Two-handed models are divided into options with a single whisk or two, the difference follows already from the name: mechanisms with two whisks mix even the most viscous mixture, they are equipped with a fairly powerful gearbox and easily cope with solutions of a wide variety of consistency - from light to concrete.

Model Rating

The following brands are the most popular among consumers.

Fiolent- This is a Russian-made product, which is optimal for stirring the most dense and viscous formulations. The power of the device is 1100 W, and the speed is 600 rpm.
Rebir- under this brand the most popular low-speed drills are issued. Individual models from this manufacturer have exceptional performance: power up to 2000 W and rotation speed up to 500 rpm.

Interskol– offers a wide range of mixer drills with power up to 1050 watts. Such a tool is optimal for mixing any building mixtures, even concrete, and also for drilling: for example, if you place a special drill for wood in it, you can get a hole up to 1 m long in a matter of seconds.
BISON- This is one of the most popular brands in the domestic market. The models presented in the assortment of this manufacturer have exceptional power parameters - up to 1200 W - and rotation speeds (up to 850 rpm).
Makita is a well-known Japanese brand, which is in demand all over the world due to its quality and reliability. It is noteworthy that all models of this brand, in addition to excellent technical characteristics, are also distinguished by practicality, because they consume much less energy than competitors.

How to choose?

product weight - in the range of 2.7-4.5 kg;
power - 620-110 W;
rotation speed - up to 1050 rpm;
torque - 70 N / m.

In addition, when choosing the right model, pay attention to additional features that may be useful to you: soft start, automatic start mode, additional insulation of the case, overheating protection, and others.

How to do it yourself?

If you wish, you can make a construction mixer with your own hands. For this, you need to use the most ordinary drill as a drive, and any product with a shank made in the form of a hexagon is suitable as a nozzle. Such a device is quite easily fixed in the drill chuck, the main thing is that the dimensions of this hexagon correspond to the minimum size of the chamber that can be placed in the chuck.

However, keep in mind that the motors and gearbox of a standard agitator are designed exclusively for a longitudinal surface, so only very small portions of the building mixture can be kneaded with such a homemade tool.

In the next video, you will find the main features of mixer drills.
