Mixing large batches

[rt88]

What's everyone using for mixing 10/12 bags of basecoat and monocuche? We mainly do thin coat jobs and just mix in the big refina tubs and that goes a decent area over mineral wool etc, but recently have been doing a bit of monocuche and thin coat over blockwork, feel like we are constantly stopping to mix. Mostly student accommodations, schools, hospitals etc we work on so covering fairly decent areas. We have bought a couple of mortar baths but just wondered if there was any other ideas ?

Use a continuous mixer. Leave it running and never run out.

Like the look of that, will go and give the local Romanian car washers a visit, the baths great until we get to the bottom white it isn't flat, so paddle isn't getting into those areas

Once we get a look at what the work is for the next few months that might be the route we go down, although I much prefer doing thincoat over eps/wool, easier money haha
