    Material: Heavy

    Heavy and/or moderately damp materials, with a high aggregate content, mineral or resin-bound; e.g., concrete, mortar, plaster ...; Paddles with a mixing action from bottom to top are used for these heavy materials. This facilitates immersion in the compact material, the stirrer literally screws itself into the material.
