Use B.A.T Trims Triple Spiral Mixer for: Fast, consistent mixing of adhesives, paint, mortar, and compound with minimal mess.
The B.A.T Trims Triple Spiral Mixer is engineered for high-efficiency mixing of viscous construction materials such as tile adhesives, mortar, paint, screed, and spackling compounds. The 140mm diameter mixing head offers increased torque and blending power, while the 590mm shaft provides reach and control for both deep containers and on-site batch mixing. With its M14 thread, it fits most trade-grade mixing drills commonly used across Australian job sites.
Primer Information: Not applicable – this product is a mechanical mixing accessory and does not require primers.
Cure Time: N/A – mixing accessory only. However, this tool improves blend consistency which optimises curing performance of compounds used.
Coverage Rate: Not applicable directly, but its efficient mixing reduces product waste and ensures even application with fewer reworks.
Application Temperature Range: Recommended for ambient use between 5°C and 40°C (41°F to 104°F) to preserve adhesive integrity during mixing.
Chemical Properties: N/A – stainless steel construction offers excellent durability and resistance to corrosion from mortar and adhesive chemicals.
Key Features of B.A.T Trims Triple Spiral Mixer
- Triple spiral head design ensures smooth, lump-free blending of thick and thin materials.
- 140mm diameter provides ample power for high-viscosity compounds.
- 600mm shaft improves reach for deep bucket and onsite tub mixing.
- Standard M14 thread suits most professional power drills in Australia.
Why Choose B.A.T Trims Triple Spiral Mixer:
- Minimises air bubbles and inconsistent mixes – crucial for tiling and plastering finishes.
- Reduces material waste and mixing time – saving time on large-scale projects.
- Robust construction withstands heavy-duty trade use across all site conditions.
When to Choose B.A.T Trims Triple Spiral Mixer versus Alternatives:
- Choose B.A.T Trims Triple Spiral Mixer over flat paddle types when: Working with thicker materials like tile adhesive, screed, and spackling compound.
- Consider other options when: Mixing very light paints or need a compact paddle for tight mixing spaces – a small dual-blade mixer may be more suitable.
Trade-Specific Applications for B.A.T Trims Triple Spiral Mixer:
For Tilers and Builders:
- Ideal for mixing ceramic tile adhesive with even texture and spreadability.
- Strong torque action ensures proper mortar hydration for wall and floor prep.
For Painters and Plasterers:
- Excellent for evenly stirring paint before roller application or spraying.
- Handles thick spackling or compound mixes for joint and surface finishing.

- Manufactured to meet trade-grade construction and chemical resistance requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions About B.A.T Trims Triple Spiral Mixer
Q: Can this mixer be used with all types of adhesives and mortar?
A: Yes, the triple spiral head is specifically designed to handle both thin and thick viscosity materials such as tile adhesives, mortar, screed, and spackling compounds.
Q: Does the mixer fit standard drills in Australia?
A: Absolutely. It uses an M14 thread which is compatible with most Australian-standard trade mixers including those from Makita, DeWalt, and Bosch.
Q: How do I clean the mixer after use?
A: Rinse immediately after use with water (for water-based compounds) or use a solvent for harder materials. Allow to fully dry before storage to prevent rust or contamination.
Q: Is this mixer suitable for paint?
A: Yes, it works well for mixing medium to heavy-bodied paints, although lighter paddle mixers may be better for very thin paints.
Q: What’s the advantage of a triple spiral design?
A: The triple spiral allows for a more thorough and faster mix with less air entrainment, which is crucial for consistent finishes in tiling, plastering, and painting work.
Use B.A.T Trims Triple Spiral Mixer for:
- Mixing tile adhesives on tiling jobs in residential and commercial projects
- Stirring paint in preparation for roller or spray applications
