Description
The Forestwest BM678 120L Commercial Grade Forced Action Mortar Mixer is designed for professional contractors who require reliable mixing performance with reduced routine gearbox maintenance.
The 120L mixing chamber provides a specified 90L batch output, while a 2000W high-torque electric motor drives the three-arm paddle system at approximately 30rpm. Its forced action mixing design is suitable for mortar, screed, terrazzo, cement-based products and other ready-mixed construction materials.
A major advantage of the BM678 is its maintenance-free Helical Type-R reducer gearbox. The drive system uses permanently lubricated bearings and requires no routine gearbox grease replacement under normal use, helping reduce ongoing maintenance and downtime for commercial operators.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a forced action mortar mixer?
A forced action mixer uses powered paddles to actively move material through the stationary mixing chamber rather than relying mainly on gravity.
2. Is the BM678 suitable for commercial use?
Yes. It is designed for professional contractors and regular commercial mortar, screed and construction mixing applications.
3. Is the gearbox really maintenance-free?
Yes. The Helical Type-R reducer uses permanently lubricated bearings and does not require routine gearbox grease replacement under normal use.
4. What is the actual batch output?
The BM678 has a 120L drum and a specified usable batch output of 90L.
5. What materials can it mix?
It is suitable for mortar, screed, terrazzo, cement-based compounds and other compatible ready-mixed construction materials.
6. BM678 or BM680?
The BM678 provides a 90L batch output in a more compact package. The BM680 increases batch output to 120L for higher-volume commercial work.
7. BM678 or BM679C?
The BM678 focuses on lower maintenance with a maintenance-free Type-R gearbox and three-arm mixing system. The BM679C uses a four-blade system with a traditional cycloidal reducer.
8. What warranty does it include?
