With just a small power socket required for operation, the BOLERO is equipped with a 1.9 or 2.2 kW gear motor with infinitely variable speed control.  It has a conveying output of up to 12 litres / min and delivers a working pressure of up to max. 25 bar.

Simple to operate, all that’s needed for continuous mixing is an anticlockwise turn. For delivery, turn the dial clockwise.

The PFT Bolero can handle intensive mixing, including materials such as special types of mortar, textured and acoustic plaster, bentonite, levelling compounds and flowing fillers.
