Automatic and manual plastering machine

Any repair can not do without auxiliary equipment and a large number of different building materials, as well as equipment. The use of such improvised tools greatly shortens the work time and saves power. Thanks to various techniques and tools for repair work much easier and more convenient, in addition, the quality of the work carried out.

An important assistant

Modern developments in the field of construction equipment have made it possible to significantly simplify and facilitate the work of builders. One of these mechanical assistants is an automatic plastering machine. Plastering for interior and exterior decoration of walls are of great importance: they are the most laborious and laborious, and the result in the literal sense should be there.

Mechanization of the finishing process allows to reduce the time of work, to minimize the costs of using human resources. In the construction of large-scale facilities, these conditions are basic, since instead of a whole team of workers one or two people can be dispensed with. And this, in turn, significantly affects material costs.

Description of the equipment

The device for the treatment of walls is an aggregate, the device and the operating principle of which are quite simple. Machines for plastering are becoming more popular lately. This is due to a number of advantages:

• Ease of operation.
• Speed of any finishing works.
• Technical reliability.
• Versatility: the possibility of applying dry and wet plaster mixtures.
• Uniformity of the layer.
• The possibility of coverage of large areas.

The plastering machine is practically indispensable for large-scale construction and repair. It is rather difficult to plaster the walls manually in the production premises of a future factory or high-rise buildings of an office or apartment building. It will be long and difficult even with the most experienced team of plasterers.

In addition, you can use equipment that works on ready-made mixtures. In this case, the machine will be cheaper, since there is no bunker for solution preparation.

Principle of operation

Plaster, which is applied with such a mechanism, is distributed and lies more evenly and accurately. This greatly simplifies and shortens the period of repair work. Ensure that the equipment is accessible to the mains. Sometimes it will be necessary to provide special conditions, since industrial modifications with a capacity of 380 rather than 220 W are quite common. In addition, a source of water is needed. If there is no running water, you can use any water tank, a special pump is included to force it. The machine accurately calculates the required amount of water and a dry mixture. This allows a high-quality solution to be obtained at the outlet.

The length of the hose as standard allows you to process surfaces up to 5 meters high. There is no need to use scaffolding, as in the case of manual work.

The quality of the mixture used for finishing the walls influences the result of the finishing works . The most simple and convenient is to use gypsum solution. It is adapted specifically for machine application, in contrast to cement-sand. The first option also has a number of advantages that have a positive effect on the results of work, under which the plastering machine is involved:

• Environmentally friendly material.
• Quality product.
• Does not require subsequent putty.
• White surface.
• Quick drying of the wall.

Gypsum plaster allows to pass moisture and air and maintain a natural microclimate in the room.

Stages of work

1. In any construction or repair work preparation is important. She is half the whole thing. The future working plane must be well cleaned from old layers, so that the surface of the wall or ceiling is ready for finishing.
2. It does not matter which way the plastering takes place, the surface should be flat. To do this, beacons are installed, which measure the curvature and level the level of the surface horizontally and vertically.
3. Installing profiles for processing corners.
4. Application of a primer.
5. The plastering machine is equipped with a special reservoir, in which a mixture is prepared for subsequent application to a dried primer.
6. Applying the mixture with a technical gun, which evenly distributes it along the wall.
7. Leveling and distribution of the solution according to the level of lighthouses, adding to those places where it is not enough, and removing excess.

The plastering machine helps to perform each step consistently and accurately. The application of the mortar should be started from the corner to the center. It is better to make strips less than a meter wide. After the completion of each stage, the surface of the wall must be closed with a film, which is then cut off. Such recommendations are left by the producers of equipment and materials.

Surface treatment of walls

This stage is important and final in plastering. By the way, it can also be much faster and easier. The plastering-troweling machine can help in this . Usually this happens with the help of a sponge and water. But in this case the equipment practically does its job, especially it is convenient for large finishing areas. The surface is completely suitable for painting or wallpapering. In addition, the final result depends on the class of plaster. It is different for different rooms.

Choice of equipment

Plastering machine, reviews about which prevail positive due to its great advantages, should serve for a long time and meet all the requirements of customers. Manufacturers today offer a wide range of different models that are capable of plastering surfaces. The most popular are the German, Austrian and Polish samples of this technique. Manufacturers are ready to offer whole specialized stations or simple enough units that can work in different weather conditions, with a large temperature drop from 30 degrees of heat to minus 40 in winter.

The USM-150 model is in great demand among construction organizations. The plastering machine of this modification, according to technical and qualitative characteristics, meets all requirements for high-quality plastering, painting of walls, puttying, preparation of various kinds of mixtures. In addition, for greater convenience, it is equipped with a control and adjustment center. This allows you to control the speed and strength of the solution.

What are the criteria for making a choice?

The main criteria for buying should be:

1. Ease of operation. It is important to manage the management of a person even without special construction skills.
2. Saving of materials. Typically, the consumption of mortar in machine plastering is much less than with manual plastering.
3. Low power consumption.
4. Suitable dimensions and light weight. The dimensions should be chosen taking into account how many people will work with the equipment, how extensive the finishing work is.
5. Functionality. Often such machines are equipped with equipment for painting walls.
6. Reliability and quality of the device.
7. Easy transport and assembly at different sites.

If all these conditions are met, you can easily acquire such an assistant and perform a wide range of repair and finishing works not only of walls, but also of flooring.

Alternative

Of course, it is not for everyone to acquire such an assembly. Its price varies from 2 to 20 thousand euros. Most often it is used by specialized firms that have repair and construction teams. This positively affects the image of the organization, attracts customers. In addition to buying, you can also consider the option of renting a car. It will be somewhat cheaper. And even, to some extent, easier.

As a rule, in private, we do not repair too often, especially so extensive, with a complete renovation of the walls and floor. Buying an expensive tool would be impractical. Resell it may not always work. Therefore, one-time take it for a period of specific finishing work will be completely acceptable.

By the principle of "DIY"

In addition to buying and renting a fairly good option of finding equipment - to assemble such an apparatus as a plaster machine, with your own hands. Of course, the view it will have is not quite standard, but the functions can perform the same, and you can even add something new.

Perhaps its performance and power will not be so high. Skillful masters can use for this purpose out-of-date household items. The simplest and most common equipment for homemade equipment is the following:

• Old fire extinguisher.
• Nozzle.
• A tube.
• Compressor.

It turns out quite convenient and, as they say, low-budget option. Such a manual plastering machine will facilitate the work and help to cope with difficult places on the surface, even if you are not a professional master of finishing works.
