Gypsum plaster by machine

The machine method is the application of plaster with the use of specialized equipment. This technology significantly reduces the work time, allows you to save materials and finance. This is mainly due to the fact that all work is done with minimal use of human labor. However, even the machine method of applying the plaster requires the mastery of a special technology.

Equipment for plastering machines

For a prompt and maximum economical plastering of walls , a specialized plastering machine should be used. It allows to prepare and apply a mixture for plastering with high efficiency. Work on this type of equipment requires 1-2 employees.

For the correct plastering of walls, modern mechanized devices should be used.

Currently, the market for building materials has various equipment, which is made by plastering walls by machine. It differs in size, quality and technical characteristics.

Description of equipment models

Let's consider some models. The excellent manufacturer is the firm Knauf. This equipment has miniature models and can be used in addition to plastering walls and painting them.

Another kind of equipment - "Afaline ShM-30" has quite impressive dimensions. Its scope of use includes works on puttying and plaster, and in this machine solutions from dry construction mixtures can be prepared . It is an indispensable assistant in the arrangement of self-leveling floors.

PFT Ritmo M is the smallest of the types of equipment considered, which are used to make plaster walls by machine. It, in addition, is used to create and apply mortars, putty, various paints and leveling compounds. There are similar devices on the market - PFT G4 and PFT G5 SUPER. Their technical characteristics are close to the equipment discussed above.

Ushm-150 is a sufficiently versatile machine for applying plaster. With this equipment, you can level the walls and paint them. It is technically reliable and very easy to manage. Even a novice builder can cope with it.

Technology of plastering on walls by machine method

Today, the most common way to finish the exterior surfaces is the plastering by the machine way of the facade. Such plaster coating is performed much faster than manually. However, the equipment for this type of work has a fairly high price and it does not make sense to buy it for your own needs if you are not a professional builder. For such a task, it is best to contact specialized firms that perform such types of work.

Guide to plastering walls by machine

Let's take a look at the manual on how to make gypsum plastering machine.

First of all, you need to measure the curvature of the walls. For this purpose, you must use the level. On the outer corners should be fixed special beacons, which will serve as guides. The surface should be carefully prepared, then you can start working with the equipment.

In order to obtain a material such as gypsum plaster, by machine, it is necessary to use water and electricity. Therefore, the equipment is connected to power and water supply. A dry construction mix is placed in the machine. The plaster mixture moves into a special mixing chamber, where it is combined with water. During the whole operation of the equipment the mixing of the mixture takes place continuously, it does not thicken and does not change its consistency. The solution obtained by a special hose gets to the place of finishing works and is evenly distributed over the surface. Thus, the resulting plaster by machine does not contain lumps and other irregularities, which is a great advantage compared to manual plastering.

In order to wipe the mortar on the walls, you should use the rules, putty knives and trowels. Grout should be made until the moment when the walls are completely smooth and without the slightest irregularities.

Then you should wait until the plaster solution, applied to the walls, dries. And the final stage is the mashing of dried plaster with a specialized sponge. This is done to eliminate the smallest scratches and bumps. Thus, the resulting plaster by machine still requires some additional processing.

The cost of plaster obtained by machine

Typically, the cost of plastering walls in major cities includes priming surfaces, gluing the net joints of various materials, installing beacons, self-plastering walls, removing beacons, carrying out work to cover the surface with gloss. The maximum price for such work is at the level of four hundred and fifty to five hundred rubles.

Kinds of plaster obtained by machine

If you take into account the characteristics of the room (for example, its dimensions), then the kind of material such as plaster (machine applied) will differ - gypsum, heat-insulating and cement. One of the most popular types of work is the application of gypsum plaster. Moreover, it is not superfluous to become familiar with the type of decorative plaster for interior and exterior decoration.

Plaster of gypsum is made using only natural materials. Scientific research also confirmed the ecological purity of gypsum. Cement as a material is used in cases where the amount of work is so large that it is impossible to use gypsum. This work on the plastering of facades, buildings for production, cellars. The thermal insulation of plaster will be indispensable in such a situation, when the basic building materials can not provide a sufficient level of thermal insulation and protection from moisture.

Features of gypsum plasters in machine application

Great popularity in the use of plaster mixtures for plaster is explained by their advantages in comparison with cement:

• Excellent level of whiteness;
• Ecological cleanliness;
• Maintenance of a favorable microclimate in the room;
• Alignment in one layer up to fifty millimeters thick can be used;
• There is no need for an additional treatment, such as a putty.

Reviews of plaster by machine

As you can see, it is very economical and effective to use for the treatment of walls such material as plaster (by machine). Reviews about it for the most part are positive. When plastering walls manually, about sixteen kilograms of mortar per square meter of surface is spent, while in machine processing this figure is equal to thirteen kilograms. As can be seen, the savings are quite significant.

At specialized forums and blogs on construction topics there is a large number of reviews describing the fact that when choosing manual works, the most difficult is the preparation of plaster solution, and the machine method completely eliminates these problems. There is a considerable amount of feedback also about the quality of the plastered surfaces obtained with the help of special equipment.

The walls are smooth and smooth, which is an indisputable fact in favor of machining surfaces. Of course, this is only a small part of all reviews that describe such material as plaster, machine applied. You can safely recommend mechanized surface treatment to your friends and acquaintances and resort to it yourself.

As a tip - to improve the quality of the plaster, you can use special additives - plasticizers. They greatly facilitate the process of work, improve the texture on the walls. This will reduce various additional operations, such as putty, or completely eliminate them.
