This has never been an issue for me. I add portland on top of the pulp and a couple of minutes of mixing gives me a very consistent mix. I do not use sand, however. Sand can be a problem, dropping into the corners and never moving again. Even then, I have watched Judith mix by putting it all in the mixer, cardboard, minerals, cement, water, and then drive it around a bit and come back with a homogenous mix.
I'm curious if others with tow mixers have had a problem?

when adding mortar to the equation, I have never seen a tow mixer do a good job -
