Does anyone know if this will spray sand & cement?
Mix up a batch in ur mixer and tip it in ur ritmo. if the sand is right it will pump. if it doesnt try additives like lime or super plastisicers

Sorry Ian, how will this be cost effective or time saving? The whole labour process and time involved in finding the right sand and the potential for constant back fills would be horrendous!
Never used a small machine, I've always used a diesel machine to pump, as said because its a batch mixer and we just mixed it in the drum, as said seems mental to mix it in a separate mixer then mess about pouring it into the drum, it's drawing the job out . I've had the v2 and sp11 pumping up 3 floors from source no problems circa 45m up from the deck. Screed as well as rendering.You need to modify your mix otherwise it will clag. And with any sand cement mix it chomps on your r+s even with a well graded sand.
he has a mixer and a ritmo. it makes more sense to try the kit you have surely before purchasing more equipment. if he decides pumping site mix is the way forward then he can consider his options. how is it any more work. you shovel the stuff in let it mix then either pour it direct in the hopper or into a barrow. Its not a perfect set up but it will work.
was there lime in that mix.
surely weber OCR is the way to go here. material costs be about £ 6.50 a mtr inc beads and gear. a gang should cover 200 m2 a week
