Imer Koine 35 & 4 Mixing Paddle for Self-Leveling Underlayment

Imer Koine 35 & 4 Pump Mixing Paddle for Self-Leveling Underlayment Features Paddle for the mixing of self-leveling underlayment SLU mixing paddle for light materials paddle specifically engineered for the IMER Koine 35 and IMER Koine 4 continuous mixer‑pumps to deliver fast, lump‑free mixing of self‑leveling underlayment (SLU) and other light, flowable materials. Identified by IMER as SLU mixing paddle part #1107597, it is the correct, factory‑designed paddle whenever you are using these pumps primarily for self‑leveling underlayments and similar high‑fluidity products. Product Overview and Part Number The Imer Koine 35 & 4 Mixing Paddle for Self-Leveling Underlayment is an interchangeable mixing tool that installs inside the Koine mixing chamber in place of the standard or “all‑purpose” mixer paddle. Official description: “Imer Koine 35 & 4 Pump Mixing Paddle for Self-Leveling Underlayment / SLU mixing paddle for light materials.” OEM part number: 1107597. Compatibility: Designed for the Koine 35 continuous mixer‑pump (single‑phase) and the Koine 4 mixer‑pump (three‑phase/hi‑flow variants). This paddle is specifically profiled for self‑leveling underlayment and other light, highly flowable cement‑ or gypsum‑based materials, which require a different mixing action than standard plaster or mortar. Designed for Koine 35 and Koine 4 Systems The IMER Koine 35 is a continuous mixer, pump, and sprayer capable of handling pre‑blended cementitious and gypsum‑based mortars, stucco, fireproofing, self‑leveling underlayments, and grouts. The IMER Koine 4 is a higher‑output, three‑phase version with more volume and production for similar materials. Both machines rely on interchangeable mixer paddles in the mixing chamber so the mixing action can be tuned to the material type. IMER’s documentation and product sheets list the “SLU mixing paddle for light materials – Part #1107597” specifically under Koine 35 accessories, and it is also referenced in Koine 4 and Koine Dual literature as the paddle for self‑leveling work. What Makes the SLU Paddle Different Self‑leveling underlayments are more fluid and more sensitive to entrained air and mixing shear than standard mortars or plasters. The Imer Koine 35 & 4 Mixing Paddle for Self-Leveling Underlayment is shaped and pitched to match those needs. Compared with a standard Koine paddle: It is optimized for light, flowable materials, not heavy, stiff mortars. Blade geometry promotes fast wet‑out of powder, rapid dispersion of fines, and a smooth, homogenous slurry. The mixing action is aggressive enough to remove lumps but controlled enough to avoid excessive air entrainment that can ruin SLU flatness or strength. This design helps ensure the Koine 35 or Koine 4 produces a consistent, pump‑ready SLU mix continuously, matching the machines’ high flow rates (up to about 60 cu ft/hr on Koine 35 and around 140 cu ft/hr on Koine 4, depending on configuration). Key Features and Benefits Using the Imer Koine 35 & 4 Mixing Paddle for Self-Leveling Underlayment (1107597) provides several practical benefits on SLU jobs: Purpose‑built for self‑leveling mixes – Labeled as an “SLU mixing paddle for light materials,” it’s the paddle IMER specifically recommends for cement‑ and gypsum‑based self‑leveling underlayments. Continuous, lump‑free mixing – Combined with the Koine’s feed impeller and water metering system, the paddle promotes even powder wetting and dispersion, reducing clumps and rework on the floor. Supports high production rates – Koine 35 literature notes up to “120 x 50 lb bags of self‑leveling per hour,” which depends on the correct paddle for light materials. Improved pumpability and flow – A properly mixed SLU moves through the rotor/stator and down the hose with stable viscosity, helping achieve flat, defect‑free pours. OEM fit and durability – As a genuine IMER paddle, it fits the Koine mixing chamber and drive without modification and is built for the continuous‑duty environment of production pumping. For contractors specializing in interior leveling, high‑rise floor prep, or large commercial pours, these advantages translate directly into speed, consistency, and fewer call‑backs. Typical Materials and Applications The Imer Koine 35 & 4 Mixing Paddle for Self-Leveling Underlayment is intended whenever the Koine is used mainly for self‑leveling or similarly light mixes. Typical materials: Cement‑based self‑leveling underlayments for floor prep under tile, vinyl, hardwood, or carpet. Gypsum‑based SLUs in multi‑unit residential and high‑rise applications. Other light, flowable materials where the manufacturer permits mechanical mixing in continuous mixer‑pumps (e.g., some specialty underlayments or fine grouts). Typical job types: Large commercial or retail floor leveling prior to finish flooring. High‑rise building work where materials must be pumped hundreds of feet horizontally or vertically. Renovation projects where existing slabs require precise re‑profiling with SLU. In IMER’s own Koine 35 product sheet, self‑leveling underlayment is explicitly called out as a primary application, with “SLU mixing paddle – Part #1107597” listed as the matching accessory. How It Fits in the Koine System The Koine systems are built as complete SLU solutions: dust‑controlled loading, precise water metering, continuous mixing, and pumping through 1" material hose up to 300 ft. The SLU mixing paddle (1107597) is one of the key accessories that complete this system. A typical Koine 35 or Koine 4 SLU setup includes: Koine mixer‑pump with D8‑1.5 rotor/stator, 4‑speed inverter, and integrated water booster pump. Dust grate with vacuum port for clean bag dumping. 50' or more of 25 mm (1") material hose and 5' overhead wand for placement. SLU mixing paddle for light materials – Part #1107597. Within this system, the paddle is what ensures that powder and water leave the mixing chamber as a well‑blended slurry capable of being pumped and self‑leveling correctly on the slab. Standard vs. SLU Paddle: When to Use Each IMER and resellers list several Koine paddles: Standard mixer paddle – For general mortars, plaster, stucco, and heavier mixes. Self‑Leveling mixer paddle (1107597) – For SLU and light, flowable materials. Light‑material mixer paddle – Sometimes listed separately for extremely light or specialty products. When you should choose the Koine 35 & 4 Mixing Paddle for Self-Leveling Underlayment: Your primary material is self‑leveling underlayment (cement or gypsum). The manufacturer requires a smooth, lump‑free mix with controlled air content. You are running the Koine near its top SLU production rate and need consistent output. If your main work is plaster, stucco, or structural mortars, the standard paddle may be more appropriate, and you can swap to the SLU paddle only when switching to leveling work. OEM vs. Aftermarket Paddles Some third‑party paddles claim compatibility with Koine pumps, but there are strong reasons to stick with the OEM IMER 1107597 for SLU: IMER’s own literature and spec sheets explicitly reference “SLU mixing paddle – Part #1107597” for self‑leveling applications, showing it was designed and tested with the machine’s hydraulics, motor speeds, and water system. Using the factory paddle helps ensure you match IMER’s published production rates and performance expectations for SLU. OEM parts support better long‑term reliability and maintain manufacturer support if you need technical assistance for Koine performance issues. For high‑value self‑leveling projects, the risk of inconsistent mixing or pump issues usually outweighs any small savings from non‑OEM paddles.
