[spunky]

bugger didnt realise you need a machine too thought it would pump it wet cheers anyway

 

[theblones]

PFT have a saying that i read on one of their reports. " Convey as far as possible with dry material and convey wet as little as is needed"

 

[theblones]

They do have machines that come as part of a silo package.

 

[merlin]

gotta be the way foward ,how does a silo compare to bags cost wise?

 

[theblones]

CPI supply in silos and it is cheaper for GPR . You must have a 4mx4m hard standing minimum and i think 10 ton minimum order

theres the link, they also do traditional screed in the silo at £100 a ton and you can convey it dry up to a continuous mixer and mix your semi dry screed on demand or render or whatever

If they could get the price down more on screed i would buy a HM 2006, but we seem to just be stuck in the mud in UK and like working hard as possible.

 

[spunky]

[McPlaster]
