Mortar Mixer EM70SH8 7cf, Honda GX240 | Essick
The Essick 7-Cubic Foot Mortar Mixer (Model EM70SH8) represents over 85 years of excellence and is recognized as an industry leader by Multiquip. This professional-grade mixer provides a substantial 7 cubic feet (198.2 liters) of drum capacity. Therefore, it is the perfect mid-size solution for efficient processing, easily handling 1.5 to 2.5 bags of mortar or plaster. This capacity ensures optimal productivity for medium to large construction projects.
The mixer is powered by a reliable 8 horsepower Honda engine. Specifically, the Honda GX-240 engine utilizes a recoil start. Consequently, this provides the consistent power and ease of startup construction professionals demand. The thick 10-gauge steel drum wrap and 14-gauge engine cover contribute to exceptional durability. Furthermore, the mixer features an innovative seal system that requires no greasing, minimizing maintenance time and extending the life of the machine. The drive system uses a double V-belt with heavy-duty cast iron pulleys.
Essick designed the heavy-duty tubular frame to include a convenient forklift pocket. This feature significantly enhances job site logistics and makes loading and unloading simple and safe. The overall operating weight is 690 pounds. Thus, the Essick 7-Cubic Foot Mortar Mixer, protected by a durable powder coat paint finish, remains a highly robust yet maneuverable machine. With a discharge height of 21 inches, manual dumping is efficient. In summary, this mixer offers a superior balance of mid-range capacity, power, and long-term durability.
