MIXERS, PUMPS AND DELIVERY SYSTEMS
Material Delivery System
place ofmanually pouring buckets ofgrout into the walls by offering a machine to automate the pouring of grout with an auger. The standard unit is powered by auxiliary hydrau�lics from a forklift, which is also used to lift it into position. The forklift operator controls the auger. It can be configured into an extended auger tube for higher vertical reach. Ex�tending the auger tube reduces the maximum aggregate to 1/2 inch (12.5 mm), whereas the standard auger configura�tion is compatible with 3/4-inch (19-mm) aggregate grout mixes. The auger can be reversed to stop grout flow for an extended period of time and is easily removed for cleanup. Because they have to be elevated for use, material delivery systems are best suited for smaller batches of material from a mortar mixer versus larger loads from ready-mix trucks.
