FAQs
What is the primary use for this mixing tub?
This tub is primarily designed for mixing and transporting dry and wet construction materials like cement, plaster, and mortar mixes.
How much material can this tub hold?
The tub has a capacity of 45 liters.
Is this tub suitable for mixing paint?
While it can technically hold paint, it is designed for heavier, abrasive construction materials. For paint, a dedicated paint mixing bucket might be more appropriate, and thorough cleaning would be essential to avoid contamination.
How easy is it to move when full?
It comes with two rope handles designed for two-person lifting, which significantly aids in moving the tub when it is full of heavy materials.
What are the dimensions of the tub?
The approximate dimensions are a height of 30cm and a diameter of 52cm.
Can I use this tub for food-grade materials?
No, this tub is manufactured for construction use only and is not suitable for food-grade materials.
How should I clean the tub after use?
Rinse thoroughly with water immediately after use. For dried material, use a stiff brush and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Material sticks excessively to the tub after drying
Ensure the tub is thoroughly rinsed immediately after use. For future mixes, consider lightly dampening the inside of the tub before adding materials, or using a non-stick spray specifically designed for construction materials.
Rope handles feel loose or worn
Inspect the knots securing the rope handles. If the rope itself appears frayed or damaged, contact the manufacturer for replacement part information or source suitable replacement rope and re-secure firmly.
Tub develops minor cracks over time
Minor surface scratches are normal. If structural cracks appear, cease use immediately as the tub's integrity may be compromised. Inspect for consistent impacts or overfilling during use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. The tub is ready for immediate use upon unpacking.
Compatibility: This mixing tub is compatible with a wide range of dry and wet construction materials, including various types of cement, plaster, sand, aggregate, and mortar mixes. It is not intended for use with food products or corrosive chemicals.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of the tub:
- Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly rinse the tub with water to remove any residual material. For stubborn dried-on mixes, use a stiff brush and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the plastic.
