Abstract
A new method and an apparatus concern improvements of blowing mortar or concrete on the feeding compression air, in which dry-mixed materials are quantitatively jetted from a nozzle at a blowing machine, and liquid is supplied by determined amount bearing on the compression air current through the nozzle, so that grains of the materials are mixed with the liquid while feeding the materials, and the property of such material is changed from dry condition to wet condition of determined water-cement ratio, and the thus changed material is jetted from a nozzle at the end of a hose.
Claims7
A method of feeding material, such as mortar or thee like to be blown on compression air, comprising the steps of blowing dry mixture of the material through a feed mechanism of a blowing machine;
- feeding a predetermined amount of the dry mixture from an outlet nozzle of the feeding mechanism of the blowing machine into a hose adapted to transmit the mixture to a working surface via a blowing nozzle and simultaneously supplying liquid of a predetermined amount bearing on the compression air through said outlet nozzles of the blowing machine so that the material is mixed with the liquid while the material is fed into the hose whereby the mixture is transformed from dry condition to wet condition;
- controlling grains in the mixed material during feeding it in said hose to thereby provide the desired water-cement ratio, so that the mixed material with the desired cement ratio is formed in said outlet nozzle of the blowing machine, enters the hose, travels through the latter, and is blown from said hose by the blowing nozzle.
