I suggest you look into a diaphragm mud pump.
They have a Briggs and Stratton type motor turning, through a built in reduction gearbox, a large crank that cycles a connecting rod up and down.
The bottom of the connecting rod is fixed to the center of an approx. 20" diameter reinforced rubber sheet diaphragm.
The pumping chamber is on the bottom side of the diaphragm and has an inlet and an outlet each running through flapping rubber one-way valves so that when the rod pulls up on the diaphragm it will suck in through the suction valve and when the rod pushes down on the diaphragm it will expell through the outlet valve.
It will pump sticks, leaves, sand, gravel, mud, and any other kind of debris that happens to be small enough to fit through the inlet hose strainer.
I have no doubt it will pump papercrete without hesitation.
We rented them from the local construction equipment rental company.

McGinnisIf the pump is rated at 6' head, and you are attempting 10' you are headed for failure even if its pure water.How high are you pumping?Fundamentals first.What is the head rating of the pump?
if you laid the out pipe on the ground does the mix make it thru? You might need to rent a bucket lift.Hope it helps.
You can pump papercrete with a peristaltic pump made for concrete. They are fairly inexpensive to build yourself. Here is a brief video of mine. The one in this video cost me about $2500 to build and I sell these for $5500 to the local concrete guys. The ones from Monolithic cost about $10k and have more features than mine. There is also a Benron pump for $8500 that will work as well. The benron pumps are nice and have feed control at the gun too.

A centrifugal pump, like your Honda trash pump can not move papercrete. The slurry is too viscous and will form air pockets. Pumping must be done with a positive displacement pump,

We have not all retired. I am doing papercrete in Texas and I have been here almost from the beginning, certainly from the beginning of the first papercrete group. What do you want to know?

HI my name is Ruth and I live near the Colorado River in Arizona. I was just getting started with papercrete information before I was involved in a very devastating auto collision. Wanting now to build a aquatic rehab center for people with spinal injuries (I am good but it took a while and I now know what we need). I have been saving paper and making connections with people who will supply paper. I need a tow mixer and expertise/experience. It shocked me to find that that much needed experience is "retiring". I don't want to be left out of the loop before I can even get into it. I have an acre and great water. Buildings and a GREAT Vision. Papercrete is an important part of that vision. Would anyone even remotely interested please contact me. Ruth dr_ruth_ross@yahoo.com I don't do facebook. Very old school.
Hello this is Murry in San Marcos TX
Does anyone have experience with pumping papercrete.
I have a 3" Honda Trash pump but have been unable to get it to pump the mix.
The mix is about 100 pounds paper, 10 gal sand, 4 gal clay and 2 sacks of cement and about 100 gal of water in a 160 gal tank.
Any suggestion is most appreciated
Thanks
Murry,Holley@yahoo.com

Hi,
Is the papercrete.com site to be taken down?
How long do we have to gather information from it before we can't see all of it?

Hello all 'creators...well I tried to 'retire' in 2009..sold the bigger dirtcheapbuilder.com bookstore to a guy in MT..and kept my papercrete site with all the Alt Building guides and CDs, out of print/hard to find booklets on natural building going until right now. So I am keeping the papercrete.com Domaine Name for now..but giving up an active website.
I am working (no where near done) on a Facebook page also 'papercrete.com' ..and people who want to find me will..so In case anyone asks..now you know. https://www.facebook.com/dirtcheaphome/
I hate it when someone disappears..like FERNCO METALS whose shop burned down, so they just quit making Cinva Rams (from plans they got from me) and didn't tell anyone!! I still get questions looking for them. Not sure if they had no business insurance, or didn't save design/machoine tool files to recreate all the work they had done. I know there is still a strong market to buy ready made ones. I tried to buy the fernco name from them just to keep awareness, but the owner didn't respond.. I know the devastating fire and his age were factors.
Anyway... hope all of you never stop playing with 'crete in some form!! Thanks for the memories!
