Makinex Launches Forced Action Mixer to Improve Consistency, Safety and Cleanup on Site
Makinex recently announced the debut of its Forced Action Mixer (FAM). The FAM was shown to attendees at the World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas. “North American contractors are being asked to do more with fewer people, tighter timelines, and increasingly complex materials,” said Brandy Carmona, product manager, Makinex North America. “Our focus at Makinex is to bring equipment to market that makes work safer, easier and more efficient to manage on today’s jobsites. The new Forced Action Mixer is a clear example of how we’re bringing proven engineering and practical innovation to the North American market.” The 120 kg FAM uses a controlled, “forced mixing” process rather than a traditional paddle action, delivering more uniform results with high-viscosity materials while reducing dust and cleanup time. A sealed, AC-geared motor provides efficient, consistent torque with 1,100 W output, supporting the 140 l mixing capacity. A unique concave, inverted, anti-spill lid and replaceable liner are designed for less mess, less downtime, and extended service life. By keeping material contained during mixing, the FAM reduces material loss and helps maintain accurate mix ratios. The removable liner allows fast changeovers between screeds, mortars, epoxy-bound aggregates, and cementitious materials, eliminating cross-contamination and reducing cleaning time between batches.
Makinex also displayed its Sierra Light Tower for the first time in North America. The PLT-800-US is a compact, high-performance LED lighting solution designed for rapid, one-person deployment. Standing at 5 m when fully extended, it delivers up to 112,000 lumen, effectively illuminating areas up to a 2,200 m2. Weighing only 49 kg and featuring a transport height of 1.2 m, the Sierra is portable and can fit into standard vehicles. The Sierra features 4 fully-rotational, 360° light heads for versatile lighting configurations, while the electric mast ensures quick and effortless elevation. Engineered for durability, the Sierra operates silently and is built to withstand winds up to 108 km/h and temperatures as low as -30°C, making it ideal for construction sites; emergency and disaster response; roadwork and traffic control; and mining and industrial applications.
