6. POINTS TO PONDER

For the purpose of this exercise we refer to all areas of mortar, slurry, fireproofing materials application, ie: all cement or gypsum based site or premixed products to be either sprayed, pumped into voids or moulds and/or applied in strip form for brick or block laying.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

1. Cement rendering
2. Stucco work
3. Texture coating
4. Machinery base bedding
5. Tunnel lining
6. Water tank and reservoir construction
7. Low cost housing
8. Straw bale housing construction
9. Mould filling – blocks, panels, architectural profiles etc
10. Slab jacking – sunken floors, roads etc
11. Swimming pool finishing
12. Artificial rock, theme parks etc
13. Fireproofing

MIXES

1. Pre-bagged proprietary mixes from reputable manufacturers
2. Site mixing using local raw materials

NOTE: The subject of mixes covers a very broad area, however we can offer starting point formulations or a full consultancy service as required.

MORTAR FACTS

1. Mortar spraying to consistent thickness is readily achieved
2. Overspray is kept to a bare minimum, and rebound virtually zero
3. Spraying technique easily mastered – typically a days practice
4. All types of fibres including steel may be readily employed
5. Remote pressure monitoring and control to 500 metres routinely employed

THE PUMPING ADVANTAGE

For best results it is preferable if the pump employed has the following features:

• Pulsation free output
• Reversible
• Infinitely variable output
• Can pump air
• Can run dry
• All Condor equipment models have the above features

OUR COMMITMENT

1. We have been manufacturing mortar applications equipment since the mid 1970’s
2. All design and manufacture done in-house
3. Full training available including site training
4. Full service and spares support including international
5. Design and manufacture of job specific features, functions, control monitoring etc
6. Design and manufacture of factory production plant turnkey installations
7. Design and supply of all product admixtures

POINTS TO PONDER

1. Loosely applied hessian over a typical house frame when sprayed to say a 3mm build thickness goes into tension resulting in a rigid and very straight surface. Further coats may then be applied to any thickness according to the job specification.
2. Overspray is no longer a problem. It is quite practical to spray to within 50mm of window or door opening or ceiling without overspray or splashing
3. For the same mix, the bond of sprayed mortar to the substrate is far better than hand applied mix, due to the impact velocity driving the slurry into all fissures – and no trapped air, debonding or drumminess.
4. Rebound or product loss when sprayed is almost zero.
5. Build-up is readily controlled thus less need for ruling off or cutting back thus minimising the need for remixing droppings – with very significant time saving.
