RE: [papercreters] Peristaltic pump

Peristaltic pumps can be used for many things, most notably efficient and
low maintenance due to the fact that the material flows through the hose and
not the machinery. Not all peristaltic pumps are designed for cement or
papercrete, but ones that are the lowest maintenance of any pumps, and are
good for pumping, and spraying stucco, shotcrete, papercrete, hydroseeding,
etc. There are all sorts of nozzles available that can add air and or
chemicals. These pumps are Cadillac low maintenance, and reversible. They
can be rigged to pump right out of your mixer as well.

I came across an older Delasco peristaltic pump on ebay and would
appreciate hearing some thoughts on how helpful it would be in handling
materials.

The seller has 2, the smaller one appears to be capable of 2-10 gallons
per minute. Asking price is $950 plus $300 freight delivery from NH to
MN. He says the whole assembly, gear box, pump & motor weighs 300-350#.

After the great discussion of grinder pumps & exploring the "reckless
experimentation" site a lot of things are starting to look like
papercrete tooling. The local building supply has a 1hp GE disposer & a
deep, laundry sink that looks like a 25 gallon mixer wanting to happen
for about $200.

A new, 1 1/2hp, 1-8gpm pump from www.eccentricpumps.com
<http://www.eccentricpumps.com> is $3200 plus shipping.

Any experience & insights appreciated.
