[papercreters] Re: How to Maintain Tirolessa Sprayer with Ceramicrete???

Are you referring to a Tirolessa Sprayer?

Assuming that you are...

The most common and probably easiest method to keep a Tirolessa clean while in use is to keep a 5 gallon bucket full of water right by the worksite. Every so often, after spraying a hopper load on your project, just dunk the entire sprayer head, hopper and all, in the bucket. Churn it up and down a few times as if it's a butter churn.

When you pull it out, it'll probably be clean, but if it's not, keep a putty knife and/or a screwdriver in your pocket to scrape off any stubborn debris that wants to stick. Pay special attention to the Jets.

If you constantly staying ahead of the cleaning by cleaning it as you go, you shouldn't have any problems.

To (kinda) quote 'Brooks' from Shawshank Redemption...
"Easy Peezy -- Tirolessaneezy."


You don't even need to waste that bucket of mucky water, because you can dump it into the mixer for your next batch of slurry. Then get a fresh bucket of water for rinsing off the sprayer. That way you recycle your own waste back into the next batch.

Would we be able to clean the sprayer out with something? What would that be and how often would we have to stop and clean the sprayer out--every 30 minutes?
