COVERAGE - SIDEWALL SPRAY
Coverage, or the amount of material used on the job is directly related to material density on the surface and
density is a product of material conditioning and air velocity or impact on the applied surface. Density can
be regulated by machine settings, distance of the spray nozzle from the surface, and by the amount of water.
Too close to the structure or too much water results in high density and poor coverage. Too far from the
surface or too little water will yield densities below specifications.
The spray nozzle should be held approximately three feet from the surface as a starting point and the
distance varied as required. Densities will vary as the job progresses from dry material to dry and wet
material affecting nozzle velocity. Introducing vacuumed material into the hopper in a consistent manner
blending with dry material will help to control density. The recommended start settings are just that and
can vary from job to job.
GENERAL
Your
Volu-Matic 500
machine is primarily a material conditioning and air conveying system along with a
vacuum recovery system. Fibers are conditioned or opened to the proper density by mechanisms in the
hopper, the shredder, and then air conveyed into sidewall or attic by the blower, airlock feeder, and hose.
Excess material sprayed into a sidewall cavity can be re-introduced into the hopper to blend with new
material eliminating waste.
