Festool HS 3 160x600 R M14 Right-Hand Spiral Stirrer 160mm for Heavy Materials 30-60kg

Overview

Festool HS 3 160x600 R M14 Right-Hand Spiral Stirrer 160mm At a Glance: Professional 160mm diameter, 600mm long, right-hand spiral mixing paddle featuring three clockwise helical spirals and an M14 threaded connection. Specially developed for heavy, stiff and high-viscosity materials , including mortar, concrete, cement and lime plaster, tile adhesives, screed, quartz-filled epoxy resin, bitumen and thick coatings. Its powerful bottom-to-top mixing action lifts heavy material through the centre of the container, promoting thorough mixing and consistent material distribution. Recommended for 30-60kg mixing quantities . Compatible with Festool MX 1600/2 and MXP 1602 stirrers. Take the hard work out of mixing heavy construction materials with the Festool HS 3 160x600 R M14 Spiral Stirrer . Engineered for demanding professional applications, this original Festool mixing paddle combines a powerful three-spiral design with an efficient upward mixing action to thoroughly incorporate thick, dense and high-viscosity materials. Mixing mortar, concrete, screed and heavy adhesives presents challenges that are very different from stirring paints or other free-flowing liquids. Dense materials can settle at the bottom of the container, form stubborn lumps and place considerable resistance on the mixing machine. Without the correct paddle geometry, achieving a consistent mixture can require excessive effort and prolonged mixing. The Festool HS 3 addresses these challenges with its specially developed three-spiral, right-hand helical geometry . During operation, the paddle draws heavy material upwards from the bottom of the mixing container through its centre. The mixture then flows back down along the container walls, creating continuous circulation that helps incorporate the entire batch. This bottom-to-top mixing action is particularly effective for stiff and heavy materials. Rather than pushing the mixture downwards, the right-hand spirals lift dense material from the bottom of the bucket, helping prevent unmixed deposits and improving the consistency of the finished mixture. A distinctive feature of the HS 3 R design is its ability to work its way into thick material . The helical geometry produces a screw-like action, allowing the paddle to penetrate the mixture more readily. This reduces the need to force the stirrer into dense material and helps establish effective circulation during the mixing process. The substantial 160mm mixing head diameter provides the mixing capability required for larger professional batches. Festool specifies an ideal material quantity of 30-60kg , making this paddle suitable for demanding construction, flooring, plastering and renovation applications. Its 600mm length provides practical reach into suitable mixing buckets and containers, while the M14 threaded connection offers the mounting arrangement required by compatible Festool mixing machines. The HS 3 160x600 R M14 is specifically designed for the Festool MX 1600/2 and MXP 1602 stirrers. When used with a compatible machine, the paddle delivers the mechanical mixing action needed for heavy materials while allowing the operator to maintain controlled handling. From preparing tile adhesive and levelling screeds to mixing cement mortar, lime plaster, thick coatings and quartz-filled epoxy compounds, the Festool HS 3 R provides a reliable, efficient and professional solution for achieving consistent material preparation. Three Right-Hand Spirals - Powerful Mixing for Heavy Materials The Festool HS 3 R features three clockwise helical spirals designed specifically for stiff and high-viscosity materials. Its mixing action moves material from the bottom of the container upwards through the centre . The material then flows downwards along the sides of the container, creating a continuous circulation pattern. This movement helps lift heavy ingredients from the bottom, distribute solid components and produce a more uniform mixture. The screw-like action also helps the paddle penetrate thick material, making it particularly suitable for mortar, concrete, cement plaster, screed and other dense construction compounds. The result: Effective circulation of heavy materials, improved mixing consistency and more efficient preparation of demanding construction mixtures. Product Highlights • Triple Right-Hand Spiral: Three clockwise helical spirals designed specifically for stiff and high-viscosity materials. • Bottom-to-Top Mixing: Lifts heavy material from the bottom of the container and circulates it back down along the sides. • Powerful Material Circulation: Helps distribute dense ingredients, aggregates and binding materials throughout the mixture. • Screw-Like Penetration: The spiral geometry allows the paddle to work its way into thick materials more easily. • 160mm Mixing Diameter: Large mixing head designed for demanding professional material quantities. • 600mm Paddle Length: Provides practical reach into suitable mixing containers. • 30-60kg Mixing Quantity: Recommended for larger batches of appropriate construction materials. • M14 Threaded Connection: Designed for compatible professional mixing machines. • Heavy-Duty Material Applications: Suitable for mortar, concrete, cement and lime plaster, screed, tile adhesives and other dense mixtures. • Quartz-Filled Epoxy Compatibility: Suitable for appropriate high-viscosity epoxy compounds containing mineral fillers. • Thick Coating Applications: Suitable for appropriate bituminous products and heavy coating materials. • Dedicated Festool Compatibility: Designed for the MX 1600/2 and MXP 1602 mixing machines. • Original Festool Accessory: Manufactured for professional mixing and construction applications. Product Compatibility The Festool HS 3 160x600 R M14, manufacturer part number 768710 , is specified for the following Festool mixing machines: • Festool MX 1600/2: Compatible with the MX 1600/2 two-speed professional stirrer for preparing heavy and high-viscosity construction materials. • Festool MXP 1602: Compatible with the MXP 1602 mixing machine for demanding material mixing applications. Mounting Compatibility • M14 Threaded Connection: The paddle features an M14 mounting connection for suitable mixing machines. • Festool ErgoFix: Compatible ErgoFix-equipped stirrers require the appropriate M14 adapter arrangement specified for the machine. • Other M14 Mixing Machines: A matching thread alone does not guarantee suitability. The machine must also be approved for a 160mm paddle and the intended mixing load. Important: Right-Hand Spiral for Heavy Materials This is the R - Right-Hand version of the Festool HS 3 160x600 mixing paddle. It is designed primarily for stiff, dense and high-viscosity materials requiring upward circulation. For thin or free-flowing products such as emulsion paints, clear coats and suitable liquid compounds, the Festool HS 3 160x600 L M14 (768709) left-hand version is generally more appropriate because its downward mixing action helps minimise splashing.
