7 - USE AND OPERATION
7.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The bags of dry ready-mix are placed on the protection grid, which is fitted with a bag breaker. When the bag is broken, the
powder falls into the hopper.
The dispenser conveys the material from the hopper to the mixing chamber, where the mixer mixes it with water. The water
output is regulated by a cock above the flow meter; the output is displayed in the flow meter graduated scale.
The pump connected to the mixer sends the mixture to the gun via the hose.
The compressed air from the compressor is also conveyed to the gun; the mixture (formed by air and mixture) comes out from
the gun in the form of a jet. The angular width of the jet can be regulated by axial displacement of the nozzle (FIG.15-REF.1) by
the air inside the gun and/or by replacing the deflector (FIG.15-REF.2).
The gun is fitted with a cock (FIG.15-REF.3) that intercepts the air flow; its opening and closing controls the machine start and
stop.

7.2 PUMPABLE MATERIALS
GIOTTO processes dry cement or gypsum based ready-mixes with aggregate size compatible with the pump.
The performance and quality of the processed product depends on a combination of the following factors:
• type of ready-mix
• quality of the ready-mix
• water percentage in the mix
• length of hose
• spray gun configuration (type of deflector, air nozzle position, etc.).
