Hopper bucket for plastering work. Do it yourself

IN this section pneumatic equipment "hopper" is presented, the operating principle of which is to apply plaster and building mixtures to the treated surface under high pressure compressed air. The classification of equipment is carried out according to the principle of the sequence of work - hopper buckets - for the initial application of building mixtures to the surface (primary rough finishing) and texture hopper guns - for decorative finishing(applying decorative plaster, putties, thick paints, liquid wallpaper, primers, drying oils and mastics), which we have included in this category.

Hopper bucket - the simplest way mechanize the processes of plastering surfaces.

Operating principle: The finished solution is scooped from the container with a hopper bucket, the bucket is brought to the wall at a distance of 2-5 cm. By pressing the handle, air from the compressor is supplied through a hose to the hopper bucket and the solution in the hopper is sprayed under high pressure. Application speed - 120 kg of dry mixture within 4 minutes.

Advantages of using a hopper bucket:

2. Ergonomics (speed of installation/disassembly of the installation - less than 10 minutes).

3. Solution savings of 30-40% (due to greater adhesion than with manual application, rolling and falling of the material from the wall, as well as its spillage, is almost zero).

4. Quality of application (due to the impact of the mixture on the wall during application, its adhesion to the surface increases, as a result of which the density of the finished structure increases, and the possibility of cracks disappears).

5. The compressor used to supply air to the hopper bucket operates from a 220V network (none of the existing stationary plastering stations are designed for a single-phase connection, all other stations operate only on 380V).

6. Unique compressor of its kind. Peak power among 220V compressors!

7. No need to purchase additional consumables and spare parts. parts.

8. The plaster hopper ladle applies all existing mortars, both ready-made and home-made! There are also no strict criteria for the solution formulation; density, water content, plasticity - you regulate it yourself.

9. The speed of material application increases 4 times compared to manual application!

The Plaster Hopper Bucket is ideal for both private construction and construction organizations when working on sites.

Plaster HOPPER BUCKET - how does it work?

The finished solution is scooped out of the container with a hopper ladle. Air from the compressor is supplied to nozzles located at the base of the hopper bucket, and the mixture is sprayed onto the surface to be treated. The emptying speed of the bucket container, weighing 9.5 kg, is from 3 to 5 seconds.

The technology for applying the mixture with a hopper bucket onto the finished surface is quite simple:

1. Initially, beacons are set (at discretion, depending on the characteristics of the surface or application technology);

2. In the case of shotcrete work, a reinforced mesh is installed:

3. Prepare the mortar (since the process of applying a hopper bucket occurs at high speed (consumption in an average Tampa is 2 bags of 30 kg of the ready-mix for 3-4 minutes of operation of the bucket), we recommend using mortar mixers for ready-mixes or concrete mixers for CPS, clay and other mixtures with low water content;

4. Direct application of the material to the surface (depending on the nature of the material, it is necessary to select the optimal throw distance - on average 4 - 6 cm from the wall);

5. Leveling the applied plaster using a rule, smoothing out any unevenness after drying.

6. Rinsing the hopper bucket after use (just dip the upper part of the hopper bucket into a bucket of water and blow out the nozzles by pressing the trigger, then remove the remaining solution from the surface of the bucket).

IMPORTANT! If it is necessary to take a break from work, the hopper bucket should be dipped in a bucket filled with water, the nozzles should be blown out by pressing the trigger and left until work is resumed to make cleaning the hopper bucket easier after work.

Using a Hopper bucket with compressors from our company, you can get the following features and benefits:

Reasonable price for a separate Hopper bucket (plaster shovel), as well as more favorable price per set (assembled mini plastering station)

Payback for the hopper bucket - in just one day!

Simplicity and ease of use of hopper equipment

Simple design and interchangeability of hopper bucket parts, favorable maintenance

Lack of mechanism

Reliability and durability, high quality hopper buckets from Ruhopper, full control at the production stage

Working with a Hopper bucket is possible for anyone, even without professional skills. So, one worker can plaster 60 square meters. meters in a layer of 1-2 cm per hour.

The time for plastering work is reduced by 3-4 times.

The force of impact of the mixture on the surface is much higher than with manual application, therefore the quality of the applied concrete increases.

Thanks to this technology for applying plaster, the mixture consumption is significantly reduced for two reasons:

Thin applied layer;

Reducing waste material consumption.

Plastering large walls by hand is quite an expensive pleasure and requires a lot of labor, especially if ideal quality is required and in a very short time. To speed up the plastering procedure, a so-called hopper bucket plastering shovel is used, with the help of which it is possible to almost completely mechanize the entire plastering process.

Hopper bucket: what is it, its features and application

This mechanical device, with which a layer of plaster is applied to the surface of walls and ceilings. Plaster mixture exposed to air, supplied from a compressor under a pressure of 6 atm., is sprayed onto the walls. The solution supply rate (productivity) is approximately 60 cubic meters per hour, while its consumption, compared to a manual cape, is approximately 40% lower.

The pneumatic bucket is used for finishing primed vertical, inclined and horizontal (ceilings) surfaces with liquid, cement-lime, cement-gypsum mortars, as well as paints and adhesives.

Factory made hoppers are divided into two types - for ceiling plaster and separately for wall decoration.

The difference between ladles for plastering walls and finishing ceilings is small and lies only in design feature nozzle, consisting in the difference in the inclination of its angle to the surface being processed. They also differ in the design of the handle. For buckets intended for ceiling works, it is located at an angle of 90 degrees, and for wall ones it has an angle of 45 degrees.

Plaster hopper, thanks to the pressure and force of impact of the mortar on the wall surface, greatly improves its adhesion to the plastered surface.

The ladle for mechanical plaster is equipped with several adjustable nozzles, which can vary depending on the type of mixture used for the job. Thanks to this, the ladle gets rid of the solution within 5-10 seconds. And is able to plaster in a short period of time time area is about 60 sq/m. The applied solution is smoothed over the wall using a rule and a wide spatula.

How does a hopper bucket work?

To operate the hopper bucket, a compressor is used with a compressed air supply at the output of 5-6 atm and a capacity of 350 liters per minute. The air supply is carried out through a hose with a diameter of about 16-18 mm. The hopper is activated by pressing the trigger, which is located on the handle.

During plastering work, a certain portion of the solution is scooped up from the container with a ladle, after which it is brought to a distance of approximately 2-5 cm to the surface to be plastered. When the trigger guard is pressed on the handle, compressed air is supplied from a hose to the hopper bucket, after which the solution is thrown out of it onto the wall surface.

The pneumatic bucket is completely freed from the plaster solution within 3-5 seconds. Thanks to this property, one plasterer can treat a wall area of ​​about 60 sq./m.

When supplying a very liquid mortar for grouting plaster, the device should be held from the wall at a further distance within 250 - 350 mm, and the mixture should be supplied under maximum air pressure.

The entire process of working with the hopper bucket can be viewed on video.

For small volumes of plastering work, you can use an electric pump for pumping up automobile slopes, a turbine or some other air blower for the ladle, which can produce a pressure within 6 atm.

Advantages and reviews of the plaster ladle

Reviews

According to numerous reviews, users highly appreciated working with this equipment.

The hopper bucket is a pretty good thing, cheap and cheerful. It looks like a paint gun. I plastered the garage myself in almost one day without any help.

Nikolai. Sevastopol

I plastered my garage with a homemade hopper bucket, it works great. Neighbors crowded to look at this miracle technology.

Alexander.

I've been using the hopper for a long time. When compared to manual plastering, plastering work is much simpler and faster. But there is a small clarification: with a large layer of plaster in several layers, the casting is done faster by hand.

How to make a hopper bucket with your own hands

The bucket kit includes:

Plastering device in question maybe free to manufacture on our own, and drawings and diagrams can be freely found on the Internet.

Making the bucket yourself

Almost all parts of the hopper bucket can be purchased separately in specialized stores or construction market, and then simply assemble them according to the diagram, which can be found on the Internet. Do it yourself, perhaps only the solution container itself.

Various drawings and diagrams can be freely found on the Internet and improved to suit your needs, but the ergonomic properties of the manufactured bucket should also be taken into account. For example, if the total weight of the device is in the range of 6-8 kg or more, it will be quite difficult for them to work for a long time.

To make your own container for a mechanical plaster shovel, you will need to complete the following actions:

After this, the equipment will be almost completely suitable for work..

In general, if the hopper is made in-house, it will be practically inferior in performance to the factory model. But still, there is one small limitation for homemade products - they can only plaster the walls, and it will be very difficult to work with ceilings.

Requirements for a homemade bucket

After finishing work, the hopper must be thoroughly rinsed immediately. And if the remaining solution is difficult to remove, it is recommended to immerse the device in water for about 30 minutes.

Watch the video on how to make a hopper bucket with canisters.

Finishing, and especially plastering work, cannot be considered particularly productive. It is not for nothing that in the recent past the labor intensity of constructing the walls of buildings was estimated at 30...35% of the cost finishing works. Since then, plastering stations have appeared, but they are economically justified only with significant areas of plastered objects. In addition, they are characterized by a significant consumption of plaster mortar, and the finished premises require labor-intensive cleaning. Therefore, the appearance of such a tool as the hopper bucket was a kind of revolution in the field of individual and low-rise construction.

What is a hopper bucket?

Hopper (from English to hop - jump, jump) is a prefix that clearly indicates the method of operation of such a device. The plaster mixture bounces using the force of compressed air, directed from the bottom of the plaster gun, created by a compressor that is attached to the tool.

The advantages achieved by using a hopper bucket are as follows:

1. Precise spraying of the mixture leads to 30...40% savings in plaster mortar.
2. It is possible to work with other rare building mixtures, for example, with liquid wallpaper.
3. With help of this device can be plastered with high performance surfaces with complex configuration.
4. It is possible to plaster various areas with solutions different color and textures.
5. Due to the increase in the speed of contact of the mixture with the surface, the quality of the final coating increases.

The hopper bucket consists of the following parts:

• spray nozzle, which disperses the working mixture and gives it the necessary speed;
• containers for the working solution, the size and shape of which depend on the productivity, as well as the angle of inclination of the nozzle to the surface being treated;
• a pneumatic control valve, which ensures the supply of the working mixture to the nozzle of the device;
• a fitting with a confuser output nozzle, with the help of which the mixture at the outlet of the hopper bucket is given the required speed;
• holding handle, the design of which depends on the configuration of the device: if it is intended for processing ceilings, then the handle is placed perpendicular to the axis of the bucket, and if for plastering walls, then at an angle of 45 °.

The industrial designs of the tool in question are also equipped with special compressors, the characteristics and capabilities of which are adapted specifically for working with liquid construction mixtures. These include concrete, cork and cement-sand compositions, relief-textured paints. Accordingly, the nomenclature is also established replaceable nozzles

having different spray angles (usually in the range of 30...90 °: at smaller angles productivity decreases, and at larger angles the output speed decreases). Thanks to your operational capabilities

Hopper buckets are mini-plastering stations, the compactness and cost-effectiveness of which ensure their successful use in the most cramped areas of finishing work.

Externally, the hopper bucket resembles a spray gun, and uses an almost similar method of application. Before starting surface finishing work, connect a compressor to the equipment in question, connect it with a rubber hose to a bucket, and then fill it with the required working mixture.

After opening the pneumatic valve, compressed air begins to flow into the bucket container, along the way capturing fine particles of the working solution with the nozzle. Next, the flow comes out of the nozzle and is distributed over the surface being treated in accordance with the manual movement of the bucket.

For the manufacture of the device’s bucket, thin-sheet stainless steel is used: this allows to increase the service life and at the same time reduce the weight of the tool.

1. Working with the device requires certain skills, since the plastering process itself occurs with some changes, contrary to traditional technology. It consists of sequentially performing the following steps:
2. Wetting the ladle with water. This is necessary so that the emerging adhesive forces of adhesion of the working mixture to the walls do not prevent its exit through the nozzle to the outside. Preparing the mixture itself. When using traditional components of plaster - sand and cement - it should be prepared less viscous, and it is better to generally use solutions for gypsum base
3. . To increase productivity and convenience of working with a hopper bucket, it is advisable to add modifying additives to the main mixture.

1. Preparations for plastering the surface of the wall or ceiling itself. For this purpose, it is necessary to clean it from dust, dirt and unevenness, set beacons, and moisten it. Sometimes, to increase the durability of the coating, the surface is reinforced with fiberglass mesh or geotextile, or coated with primer compounds. Prepare the required supply of solution at the rate of 30…40 l/h. With a standard bucket capacity of 3...4 liters, its complete emptying occurs in just a few seconds, so the volume of the working mixture should be sufficient to plaster the surface with a layer of 10...20 mm. As a rule, up to 60 kg of finished product is used in one go plaster mixture in bags, with large volumes
2. It is more rational to use a concrete mixer. Depending on the nature of the used liquid mixture
3. During breaks in work, the tool must be thoroughly cleaned of any remaining working solution. To do this, lower the empty bucket into a large container of water and turn on the compressed air supply. The process should be carried out until only air begins to come out of the nozzle.

The final finishing of the surface (grinding of unevenness) is carried out in the same way as with conventional plastering.

DIY hopper bucket

The device in question is easy to make with your own hands, especially since there are a sufficient number of workable versions. The corresponding working drawings of some of them are presented below.

The main element of the hopper bucket, which you will make yourself, is the container itself. You will have to purchase components, but as a compressor you can use any home unit that is capable of developing a compressed air injection pressure within 60...70 atm, with a flow rate of at least 500 l/min. The volume of the compressor receiver must be at least 50 liters.

Minimum pressure parameter for homemade device especially critical because otherwise, the mixture will be supplied unevenly, its consumption will increase, and the quality finishing surface will get worse. For the same reasons, it is not recommended to adapt vacuum cleaners-blowers for these purposes: the air flow of some models can reach the required parameters, but the absence of a receiver will lead to sudden pressure changes during operation.

When developing a drawing of a bucket, it is worth taking into account ergonomic indicators - if the total mass of the device exceeds 5...8 kg, then long-term work with it will be impossible.

The capacity of a DIY hopper bucket must meet the following requirements:

1. On the hose connection side, the container must have a hinged lid, or, preferably, a sliding lid. This will protect the operator from spilling the working solution when plastering inclined or horizontal surfaces, especially ceilings.
2. The diameter of the inlet hole cannot be less than 1.2...1.5 mm: with small holes the device often clogs, and with large holes - over 5...6 mm - the pressure at the outlet of the mixture from the ladle drops sharply.
3. The dimensions of the outlet nozzle socket also have great importance. Its main parameters are the angle of the conical part (no more than 70...90 °), and the length of the nozzle. In particular, with a length exceeding 200...220 mm, the distance between the bucket and the surface being processed increases, which will negatively affect the accuracy of the work.
4. The material used for the container is aluminum or sheet steel (tinplate has very high flexibility, and therefore such containers will be deformed after several cycles of use). Each option has its own advantages. For example, an aluminum bucket will be much lighter, but the sheet blank will have to be connected into a spatial figure using self-tapping screws, and the joints will have to be sealed with rubber seals. A steel ladle can be welded, but the thickness of the sheet should not be more than 0.8...1 mm.

A device for pumping air into car tires can be used as a pneumatic valve. In extreme cases, a regular ball valve will do, but it will not allow you to instantly shut off the supply of the mixture, and its specific consumption per unit area of ​​the surface being treated will increase.

A video of the operation of a homemade hopper bucket is presented below.

Using wall hopper bucket E-01, any even unskilled builder can carry out plastering work on vertical surfaces in a shorter time compared to manual plastering. The modified model is equipped with an additional handle for ease of use, and the length of the handle ensures the plastering process in narrow openings, corridors and corner areas. Application technology plaster solutions on walls, ceilings, building facades, etc., is carried out through a compressor with constant pressure. Thanks to the technology of applying plaster using a hopper bucket, the mixture consumption is significantly reduced due to a thin layer and reduced waste material consumption.

OPERATION SCHEME USING THE EXAMPLE OF A WALL HOPPER BUCKET:

Surface preparation: As with manual application of plaster, the surface to be treated must first be prepared. Preparation consists of applying a primer or concrete contact, and if necessary, beacons are set along which we will draw the mortar as a rule.

Applying the solution with a hopper bucket: The finished solution is scooped from the container with a hopper bucket, the bucket is brought to the wall at a distance of 2-5 cm. By pressing the handle, air from the compressor is supplied through a hose to the hopper bucket and the solution in the hopper is sprayed under high pressure. Application speed - 120 kg of dry mixture within 4 minutes.

Drawing the solution according to the rule:After applying the solution with a hopper bucket, it must be leveled by pulling the rule along the beacons. If the layer is not thick enough, the solution must be reapplied selectively to individual areas or to the entire area. When working with leveling mixtures, the plaster composition can be rubbed down to a glossy surface (for example, when working with Rotband), for this you can use a texture gun or spot application with a hopper bucket.

Advantages of using a hopper bucket:

Working with a hopper bucket is accessible to anyone; there is no need for the qualifications and knowledge of a professional.

One worker can plaster 60 square meters. meters with a layer of 1 cm per hour.

The time for plastering work is reduced by 3-4 times.

The force of impact of the mixture on the surface is much higher than with manual application, therefore the quality of the applied concrete increases.

Provides better adhesion of solutions to wall and ceiling surfaces.

Due to the 20 mm output nozzles, it is possible to use any additives and fibers.

No special requirements for applied solutions!

The use of any additives and fiber is allowed, due to the 20 mm output nozzles.
