Re: [papercreters] Re: Trash pump

I have a 3 inch trash pump, it rammed up every other 5 minutes the only way it ever done any good was when the mix was 50 to 75% water. Then most of the time it would wash away what had just been sprayed on. So you had to spray one place then go somewhere else it just was not worth it to me. Build up took forever and I can clean out the mixer faster with a hoist and bucket with less stress on the ole body.

I looked at your pictures spaceman, and it appears your slurry is a
fairly typical consistency.

When I played with a small pump a while back I learned that it needed
a very runny slurry to move it. I agree with you. I don't see how
the teeny tiny pump I experimented with would be of any practical
help with your current effort. Even if it worked perfectly and had
the durablity to survive, it would take forever to move enough
quantity to get anything done. M-A-Y-B-E such a small pump might be
okay for feeding an air powered sprayer for a thin stucco or
plastering layer. I don't know how effective a watery mix would be
for spraying. I have my doubts. Working from ground level I'd
rather scoop from a wheelbarrow into a sprayer hopper. Higher up, a
small cheap pump would sure be nice, but we're still talking thin
layers.

I've never used a trash pump, but it sure seems like it's the way to
go for your application. Of course, you already knew that.

Right now just pumping into forms. I had bought the Harbor Freight
electric pump with the idea of feeding the sprayer with a lower
volume than the big trash pump, but it won't pump pc. The big pump is
just too much for the sprayer.
