Checklist For Wet Spraying

Checklist for Wet-Spraying
(10 Commandments)
1. The water box must always be filled with water (anti-freeze when
necessary!)
2. The S-Pipe swinging cylinders must be greased daily - 5 nipples!
3. The hopper grill must be clean
4. Keep the hopper full to the grill so that air cannot be sucked in
5. Do not run the vibrator continuously!!

At spraying intervals always switch off vibrator!
6. Always lubricate the delivery pipes and hoses before spraying. Put
approx. 15 litres of cement/water in the bend just after the pump outlet.
7. Check nozzle and injector holes, air and accelerator lines for any
blockages
8. Before spraying or after container change it must be checked that the

accelerator suction hose is completely free of air. If necessary fill the hose
with water before pumping the accelerator through the hose.
9. Before spraying check that accelerator amount is on the display (kg/min.)
10. When the spraying operation is completed the nozzle should point
upwards so that accelerator cannot run out and suck air into the hose,
A couple of litres of water can also be blown through the air line to
ensure that the injector holes are perfectly clean.

Wet shotcrete check list for MEYCO Suprema
Points to check before starting the shotcrete operation:

1. The hopper screen must be clean and free of obstructions.
2. Never overfill the hopper. Only fill to just below screen level.
3. The vibrator should be used to pass the material through the screen, never
continuously vibrate a full hopper. Never use vibrator needlessly.
4. Always fill water into the water box, never start without cooling water.
5. The hydraulic tank must be full of oil.
6. When first filling add a grout mix (cement/water) directly into the reduction pipe to
lubricate the hoses.
7. Pump some shotcrete to check for blockages, then connect the spraying hose and
the nozzle including the air lines and the injector.
8. Turn the air on and off again to check if the nozzle and injector are clear. The
pressure at the gauge must then drop to 0 bar. This shows that air can escape
through the nozzle.
9. Turn the air on and dose accelerator using the separate dosing function to fill the
air/accelerator line (approx. 30 sec.). Never start shotcreting without accelerator
at the nozzle.
10. Check the dosing for the correct accelerator percentage.
11. While dosing into the air line close the dosing discharge valve and check the
pressure increase at the dosing gauge. The pressure must increase above the air
pressure. Then open valve again.
12. Start pumping shotcrete at a low output and observe the pumping pressure. Then
slowly increase to the required capacity.
13. Turn the dosing pump spraying function on, and check the dosing pump gauge for
correct pressure.
14. Check or fill hopper when required.

How to free a blockage:

1. While pumping observe
a) pumping gauge pressure

b) reduction pipes
c) conveying hoses
This will indicate where the blockage is. Observe how the pump gauge pressure
reaches 200 bar, this indicates the blockage distance from the pump.
2. Reverse pump, then turn the air off and check to see if the air pressure drops to
0 bar. This will show if the blockage is before the injector or in the spraying hose.
3. When the blockage is in the reduction pipe, reverse pump and clear the reduction
pipe by removing it. Never attempt to force the blockage through the reduction
pipe.
4. If the blockage is at the injector drain the air line at the pump and clear the injector
or the nozzle. Wash this with water to remove all the accelerator.
Important pumping points to remember:

1. Never put water into the hopper to pump through stiff shotcrete. Always remix in the
mixing carts before starting the shotcrete operation.
2. When starting to pump stabilised shotcrete after a long delay start very slowly and
increase only while observing the pump gauge pressure. This always applies when
pumping stiff shotcrete.
3. Never try to force a blockage by pumping. Any more than three attempts without a
change in pressure will only lead to mix segregation leading to more problems
inside the hoses and lines.
4. Never reverse pump more than three piston strokes. This will only cause mix
segregation and air entraining.

Points to remember when stopping the shotcrete operation:

1. Stop pumping when the shotcrete is 300 mm below the hopper screen.
2. Reverse pump two strokes to relieve the conveying pipes and hoses.
3. Stop the air flow, remove the air lines, injector, spraying hose and nozzle. Wash
these parts to remove the accelerator.
4. Plug off the conveying hose to stop the shotcrete drying out.
5. Stop the shotcrete machine and cover the hopper to prevent water loss through
evaporation.
6. With stabilised shotcrete pump the mix every two hours to eliminate segregation or
blockages occurring. Observe pumping gauge pressure to check the condition/-
pumpability of the mix.
