A mixing paddle is a shaped device, typically mounted on a shaft, which can be inserted on the shaft end into a motorised drive, for the purpose of mixing liquids, solids or both.

Purpose

  • Mixing ingredients in cooking.
  • Mixing ingredients for construction products, such as pastes, slurries or paints
  • Dispersing solids within liquids (for example, some polymers may be delivered in solid form, but will dissolve in liquids)
  • Pigmenting caulking or paint with powder additives

Examples

  • Professional grout mixing paddle
  • Paint mixing paddle
  • Mudwhip (mostly used for drywall mud)
