Precision Mixing for
Professional Results

The PBM120 Forced Action Mixer is the latest addition to the PERMABOUND equipment range, purpose-built for contractors who demand reliability, consistency, and productivity on every resin bound installation.

Unlike traditional drum or paddle mixers, the PBM120’s forced action mechanism ensures complete homogenisation of aggregate and binder in under 3 minutes — reducing waste, improving finish quality, and maximising your batch output across the working day.

Key Features

Every detail of the PBM120 is designed for the professional contractor.

120-Litre Batch Capacity

Optimal batch size for resin bound stone — enough to cover up to 4m² per mix, keeping your team productive.

Forced Action Mixing

Counter-rotating paddle and pan ensure every particle is coated evenly. No dead spots, no unmixed binder.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Fabricated from wear-resistant steel with a durable powder-coated finish. Built to withstand the toughest site conditions.

Compact & Portable

Designed with a small footprint and integrated wheel kit for easy manoeuvring around site and between jobs.

Rapid Clean-Down

Smooth interior surfaces of the mixing pan make end-of-day cleaning fast — critical when working with polyurethane binders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the PBM120 Forced Action Mixer

The PBM120 is designed to mix all PERMABOUND surfacing systems, including Resin Bound Stone (marble, granite, quartz), Rubber Mulch, Colourbound (SBR rubber), and Soft Gravel. It handles both polyurethane and epoxy binders. It can also mix more traditional materials such as concrete, mortar, screeds and some paints.

The PBM120-230v runs on a standard 230v single-phase supply, making it suitable for most domestic and commercial sites with a 13-amp or 16-amp supply. For contractors who require a low-voltage machine, we also supply the mixer in a 110v equivalent. 110v mixers will need to be plugged into a suitable transformer rated for continuous use. 

The connectors differ between these two machines with the blue connector on the 230v machines and yellow connector on the 110v variant. This ensures the earth pin is in the correct position for the voltage. Images of these connectors can be seen in the gallery above.

With a 3-minute mix cycle and a two-person team, most contractors achieve 30–50 m² per day depending on the surface depth and aggregate type. The PBM120’s consistent output helps maintain a steady installation pace.

Yes. The PBM120 is designed with a compact footprint and includes an integrated wheel kit and lifting points, allowing it to be moved around site and transported in a standard van or trailer.

Every PBM120 comes with a comprehensive 12-month warranty covering parts and labour. PERMABOUND also offers ongoing technical support and a full range of spare parts.

The PBM120 features a removable mixing pan and smooth internal surfaces for rapid clean-down. A proprietary cleaning solution is available from PERMABOUND, or you can use a recommended solvent. Full cleaning instructions are provided in the user manual.
