ROX® Helicon Mixing Paddles / Spindles are professional high-shear mixing tools designed for mechanically mixing compatible heavy and sticky materials.
The Helicon Ribbon configuration provides controlled material movement and is designed for general-purpose medium-duty mixing applications where effective material circulation is required.
ROX® Helicon Mixing Paddles are suitable for compatible epoxy and urethane floor paints and coatings, as well as plaster and gypsum materials.
The paddle uses an M14 connector and moves the mix from the bottom towards the top, helping circulate material throughout the mixing container.

| 15/0/903 | HELICON RIBBON | 50 kg max | 120 mm x 600 mm |
A Helicon mixing paddle is a mechanically driven mixing attachment featuring a ribbon-style blade configuration designed to circulate compatible materials during mixing.
The ROX® Helicon uses a Helicon Ribbon shape for general-purpose medium use and is designed for high-shear mixing of heavy and sticky materials.
Its mixing action moves material from the bottom towards the top of the container, helping promote circulation throughout the mix.
Helicon paddles are particularly useful for suitable epoxy, urethane, plaster and gypsum applications where effective mechanical mixing is required.

What is the difference between a Helicon and Bird Cage mixing paddle?
The Helicon is a high-shear configuration designed for heavy sticky materials, while the Bird Cage is a low-shear configuration designed to induce less air and is intended for suitable powdered materials.
What is the difference between a Helicon and Spiral Mortar paddle?
The Helicon is intended as a general-purpose medium-use high-shear paddle, while the Spiral Mortar is designed for heavier and higher-viscosity materials including epoxy screeds, epoxy quartz, plaster, concrete and screeds.
Who should use a Helicon mixing paddle?
Helicon mixing paddles are suitable for flooring contractors, epoxy and urethane coating installers, plasterers, builders and other professionals mixing compatible heavy or sticky materials.
| Mixing Paddle | Mixing Action | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Bird Cage | Low shear / reduced air incorporation | Powdered materials, glue, screed, tile adhesive, gypsum and plaster |
| Helicon Ribbon | High shear / bottom-to-top circulation | Epoxy, urethane coatings, plaster and gypsum |
| Spiral Mortar | Heavy-duty bottom-to-top movement | High-viscosity materials, epoxy screeds, epoxy quartz, plaster, concrete and screeds |
| Hi-Shear | High shear / pigment dispersion | Epoxy and urethane paints and self-levelling epoxy |
| Multi-Mixing | High shear / pigment dispersion | Epoxy and urethane paints and self-levelling epoxy |
The correct mixing paddle depends on the material's viscosity, formulation, required shear level, batch size and the mixing procedure specified by the manufacturer.
