HI,

I WAS PLAN TO BUY A BENRON V-TEX 470 FOR SPRAYING TEXTURE AND OTHER THICKER MATERIAL, ALSO IT CAN DO LEVEL 5 AND SKIMMING COATING WHEN I DISCOVERED YOUR FORUM. SEEMS LOT OF PEOPLE HERE LIKE THE PFT RITMO. SO WONDER IF THIS MACHINE CAN SPRAY TEXTURE LIKE ACOUSTICAL POPCORN, ORANGE PEEL, KNOCK DOWN. ALSO IN THE NEAR FUTURE HAVE TO USE THE MACHINE TO DO CEMENT RENDERING, AND PLASTER RENDERING. I LIKE BOTH THE MIXING AND PUMPING OF THE PFT RITMO THAT THE V-TEX 470 (Link Removed) DO NOT DO.

SO DOES THE RITMO L + PFT JETSET PRO IS OK OK FOR TEXTURING ?
HOW ABOUT THE THE POWER OUTPUT FOR THIS KING OF JOB ? A KODIAK M2 SPRAY TEXTURE LIKE A RIG ALTHOUGH IT IS A COMPACT AND PORTABLE MODEL.

VERY CONFUSE TO CHOOSE A MACHINE BETWEEN THEESE MODELS INCLUDING THE GRACO TEXSPRAY SERIES .
MANY THANKS FOR YOU COMMENTS

You can use the ritmo for everything you mention. For the drywall textures you will need very high air and a small nozzle on the spray gun. The jetset pro is possible to use if the nozzle size can be small enough. The PFT swing gun will have a nozzle small enough.
Find out the air output on the kodiak and i can tell you if the Lk402 is good enough or you need a larger one.

The Ritmo can be used as a mixing pump meaning you drop material in dry and it is mixed and pumped and then sprayed on the wall.
 
Great, so I will buy the PFT RITMO. WHICH ONE DO I HAVE TO BUY ? M, L, XL, POWERCOATING. KNOWING THAT ONLY 220/240 VOLT@50 AMPS IS AVAILABLE. USE FOR PLASTER TEXTURING, ELASTOMERIC COATING, PLASTER RENDERING, CEMENT RENDERING, STTUCCOMAX AND PLASTERMAX FROM GIGACRETE.

WONDER ALSO IF I CAN USE THE BENRON ATOMIZER WITH THIS MACHINE. Link Removed


MAY BE I HAVE TO CONTACT A PFT REPRESENTATIVE.

@Blones have you used a ritmo to do a orange peel texture with pre mixed stuff? What setup did you run? Got to do 1400m2 and the manufacturer is telling me it's 3mm thick which I think sounds way to much
 
First pass is a 2mm coat you trowel or spat smooth scrape the lines of when its set u need a low output so a b 4 15 may be too fast use skim pump if it is and a swing gun. U may need some adapters to do this
