What are the machines for plastering?
Depending on the type of machines for plaster surfaces are divided into three main types:
- Electric. The mechanism is driven by an electric motor. The most modern and effective representatives of the group can be called robot stations, able to perform most of the work without attracting a person. At the same time in this group there are both stationary models( overall, you can lift only with a crane), and mobile( small, equipped chassis for convenient movement).
- Pneumatics. The action is given by a compressor supplying air under high pressure to the atomizer and allowing rapid application of the solution to the wall. This group includes machines, pneumocokes and pneumatic guns for plastering.
- Handmade. This is the most affordable and simplest model. In people, this machine is called a "barrel organ", because it is activated by turning the handle on the body.
The good machine for plastering
Automation of labor always leads not only to increase its productivity, but also to improve the quality of work by eliminating the human factor. The use of the plastering machine will open up to you a number of advantages not available with manual finishing: the
- machine creates an impeccably flat surface that can only be manually repeated by professionals of the highest class;
- constant mixing of the solution in the device ensures complete homogeneity of the mixture and filtration from lumps, pebbles and other impurities;
- significantly reduces the time spent on a certain amount of work;
- there is no need for additional leveling and polishing of the plaster;
- adhesion between the plaster composition and the wall during machine work is higher due to the pressure in the sprayer, and this significantly increases the life of the wall covering;The
- machine uses significantly fewer materials to achieve a similar result than manual work, due to the lack of need to correct and align flaws;
- there is no need to hire several specialists for plastering the room( depending on its size and work in a short time, 1-3 people will cope).
It should be noted that the plastering machine is still not perfect, and before unequivocally choosing it for your construction or repair, you should find out about its shortcomings:
- , the large dimensions and weight of even mobile mobile devices will not allow them to be moved alone,two to three people;
- power consumption of electric machines sometimes goes beyond the standard 220V, and then it is necessary to connect another phase;
- the accelerated rate of performance of works is fixed due to the requirement to use the finished plaster mixture every time only for one hour;
- , because of the noticeable noise in apartment buildings, it is possible to use a plastering machine only in a time agreed with neighbors and permitted by law;
- for washing large models( stations) requires up to 30 liters of water.
Where without the machine for plastering is not enough
The device is not in vain so popular with professional construction teams. Those works that are performed manually for a long period of time, with a plastering machine are carried out quickly and do not require adjustments. In addition, the scope of the device is quite wide, which turns it into an almost universal assistant.
By means of the plastering machine it is possible to perform:
- plaster, cement plaster;
- primer and putty;
- painting;
- nabryzg for plaster- "fur coats";
- thermal insulation;
- creation and application of reinforcing and adhesive compounds;
- filling floor;
- thin-layered plaster;
- cement-concrete screed.
This is not the entire list of works that can be easily performed using the device. Use the machine and in many similar, not mentioned above works.
Price, models and manufacturers of the best machines for plastering
The most accessible for the ordinary buyer is the "barrel organ"( hand-held machine).The area of its application, basically, boils down to small objects, most often the device is used for decorating walls: "fur coat", "bark beetle", "Venetian plaster".
In this case, the kneading solution is made manually, the volume varies in the range of 2-4 liters, the device itself weighs about 5 kg and can process an hour from 15 square meters of surface.
The price of the device - from 20 dollars.
A pseudo hopper( also known as a "plaster shovel") will cope with the decoration and plastering of small objects and at the same time require the connection of an additional compressor. The machine is a metal container into which a plaster solution flows through one of the four nozzles, and through the other four it is pushed out.
The solution is also kneaded manually, the volume reaches 9.2 liters, and the weight of the device is only 2.8 kg. At the same time, the machine processes 30-60 square meters of surface per hour.
The price of a pseudo hopper starts at $ 230.
The gun for plaster is more versatile and easier to repair than the previous types. It can be applied for both textured processing, and for starting or finishing plastering of walls. Moreover, the kit includes different nozzle nozzles, which will help to adjust the required length of the jet and the degree of spraying.
The kneading solution also occurs manually, the volume of the container reaches 5 liters, and the weight of the entire device is 2.5 kg. In an hour the gun can be processed from 15 square meters of surface.
At the same time the price of such a machine for plaster comes to only 23 dollars.
Plastering stations provide a high level of comfort of use. Most of them work with both liquid and dry mixtures, equipped with sharp blades for opening bags with components. Economical in terms of consumption of plastering composition - use it without residue. Some models can also perform filler. Placing on a single frame, equipping with large wheels ensures the comfort of movement of the mechanism even over large stones and uneven ground. The work is accelerated 3-4 times. Include tools and tools for easy cleaning.
Manufacturers of plaster stations:
- PUTZKNECHT S82, Germany;
- PFT G5;
- PFT Ritmo Powercoat;
- Giotto, Italy;
- BMS Master Plaster;
- USHM-150, Belarus;
- GRACO T-MAX
Price of stations for automatic plastering, depending on the volume, set, functionality and pricing of the manufacturer can start from 1800-8500 dollars.
