If you soak the paper overnight before mixing it might mix easier using a mortar mixer, without needing to be shredded.

Re: [papercreters] Re: papercrete by the teaspoon

Greetings,
Good luck with your tow mixer, but long before 12 months are up, I will have my other mixer back up.  My problem is getting electric to where I want to work, which will be solved when this building is done, it houses my PV system.  Technically, it is half a building, the roof starts at the floor and goes up at a 45 degree angle, which is where the panels sit.  At least I have hubby home for now to help.

Hello Kim:)

That is exciting news. Bu I know 5 gallons at a time will be a struggle. You might want to check with Harbor Freight. They have an electric mortar mixer ( +/- $100) that works good for pulping small batches . I was pulping 55 gallons at a time. It worked pretty good for that with shredded paper. I think some modification to the blade would help to cut the non-shredded paper.

I just picked up a Tow mixer from San Angelo but I am thinking it will be pretty busy for the next 12 months. I am in San Marcos depending on your schedule I might be able to help sometime after that.

Good luck with your project.

Best wishes

[papercreters] papercrete by the teaspoon

Greetings,

Finally, we started to pour papercrete on a building yesterday. So many
stops and starts over the last fifteen years, that I had almost given
up. My big mixer that we designed a very long time ago is in the wrong
location and lost it power hook up three years ago when we put the road
in. Once this first building is up, we will move it and run it off our
new solar array to build the house, dairy parlor and a few other out
buildings that need doing.

I would love the big system, as this is going to be a lot of work, we
are pulping in 5 gallon buckets as we don't have anything on the farm
other than the big motor for the other system with any kind of power. I
just hope my drill survives this. Or, that someone close who has a tow
mixer would volunteer to lend it.

But, we have started. It feels good. And the design for the entire
farm is now done, so no more oops, I guess that should have gone there
times.
