The Makinex FAM-120 is an Australian-designed forced action mixer built for the materials a barrel mixer can't handle — semi-dry screed, GFRC, mortar, render and epoxy-bound aggregate. Its vertical paddle mixing action forces material through itself rather than tumbling it, producing a consistent, lump-free, homogeneous mix in a fraction of the time, with no free-fall segregation and no unmixed pockets.
Designed for Australian conditions and the demands of hire yards and construction sites, the FAM-120 pairs a sealed AC geared motor with a high-strength aluminium frame and epoxy-coated drum — components chosen for reliability and minimal downtime in harsh environments. Unlike many 120L pan mixers that need three-phase or 15A power, the FAM-120 runs off a standard 230V 10-amp wall socket with built-in thermal overload protection, so it works anywhere on site you can find a power point.
Conventional drum cement mixers rely on gravity — fine for wet concrete, hopeless for viscous, low-slump or fibre-loaded materials. A forced action mixer (also called a pan mixer, screed mixer or mortar mixer) drives paddles through a stationary drum, actively working the material for full wet-out of every particle. For GFRC, semi-dry screeds, self-levelling compounds and polymer-modified mortars, it's the difference between a workable, repeatable batch and a fight.

A cement mixer tumbles material in a rotating drum using gravity, which only works for wet, high-slump mixes. A forced action mixer drives paddles through a stationary pan, actively forcing material together — essential for viscous, semi-dry or fibre-reinforced materials like screed and GFRC.
Yes — forced action mixing is the recommended method for GFRC premixes. The paddle action fully wets out fine powders and disperses fibres evenly without balling.
No. The FAM-120 runs off a standard 230V 10-amp domestic-style power point, with thermal overload protection built in.

Australia’s warm and, in many regions, coastal climate necessitates adjustments during manufacturing. High temperatures can accelerate hydration, so controlled curing environments—such as covering pieces with plastic to retain moisture—are essential. Additionally, lower water-to-cement ratios and carefully selected admixtures help mitigate rapid evaporation and ensure that GFRC develops its designed strength and durability.
Manufacturers address these challenges by:
Future trends include increased automation—such as robotic spraying and digital mould design—as well as a greater focus on sustainable practices (e.g. incorporating recycled materials and eco-friendly admixtures). Advances in fibre treatment technology and computer-aided manufacturing are enabling more complex, custom-designed panels. Ongoing research is continually refining mix designs and curing methods to better suit Australia’s diverse environmental conditions.
GFRC is a composite product that combines high‐quality cement, fine aggregates, polymers and alkali‐resistant glass fibres – all premixed to the correct proportions. Its high strength‐to‐weight ratio, durability and capacity for being cast in thin, custom shapes make it ideal for creating stylish and long-lasting benches and tables for both indoor and outdoor use.
GFRC manufacturers must comply with Australian building codes and standards relating to precast concrete, structural performance and safety. This means that production processes, material testing and installation methods are stringently monitored and documented. Close collaboration with local certifying bodies ensures that GFRC products meet all necessary performance and regulatory requirements.
With our premix product, all the ingredients are already proportioned for optimal strength and workability. This means you can focus on preparing your moulds and executing a neat cast rather than measuring raw materials.
Moulds for benches and tables can be constructed from high-density foam, melamine, or even silicone for more intricate designs. It is essential that the mould is smooth, watertight and well supported. Pre-treat the interior with a quality release agent to ensure that the cured GFRC can be removed cleanly.
