Ritmo L and silomat

[camnz]

Ive noticed the Ritmo XL can be fed via the silomat setup and wondered if the Ritmo L could be used the same way?Ive just finished 4 townhouses and spent so much time moving bags around it would be loads easier to hook it up to a silo.

We have G4 G5's all with silomats, there are a lot of machines that have silo connection but you try getting a silo with plaster in it! CPI was the closest we got when we tried but they would only fill them with cement powder and thats it, if your after basic render you can get it but when it comes to other external products, through coloured MP75 you wont get, not quite geared up enough yet like the germans

lime, bear in mind Camnz is in Australia. But a silo for just render? I would think you would need a big job just to warrant one. Couldn't you get a fork lift on site to help out?

in europe they use silos for render. one with sand, one with cement and one with polystyrene. it is blown on and ruled off and left. they said "that is good". they then sprayed a very thick paint onto the wall and it did look good.

At the moment its wet season so forklifts are no good on site unless they are tractors given Darwin has almost 3x the annual rainfall than London.I was just toying with the idea of having all my render in one spot and pumping the powder to my machine instead of carrying bags up scaff,i think i went through round 40 pallets of render on the last job so I'm interested to know if the Ritmo L could be fed of a silomat?

What material are you using through your ritmo camnz?i have a ritmo l and have been using most CPI render(sand&cement).


I'm using The Plasterers Forum Mobile App

Mostly polymer modified bag renders we use 3.5mm beads so its pretty thin then put acrylic over top.

Cool.So you have no issue's with seeing block/brickwork through it being thin?

 

[camnz]

no its not an issue once the top coat is on its fine.
