PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The REED Gunite Machine is a dry mix pneumatic spraying machine designed specifically for
the purpose of inducing granular materials into a compressed air stream. The material is then
conveyed by the air through a hose line delivery system to a nozzle, where water is introduced
which then mixes with the dry material and air and then is sprayed from the nozzle for the
specific application. The machine is of a simple design, compact, lightweight, and is of a
rugged construction to withstand the work environment surrounding the many applications of
dry mix spraying.
The gunite machine utilizes as its main power source an air or electric powered motor. The
air supply for operations of the air motor is provided by an external compressed air source.
The air/electric motor through an oil bath spur gear arrangement is used to rotate the feed
wheel or bowl. A means is provided to vary the rotating speed for the feed wheel, which in turn
varies the output feed rate.
In operation, dry or damp material is placed into the hopper where it is allowed to freely fall
through openings and down into the “U” shaped pockets of the feed wheel. As the feed wheel
rotates, the material loaded pockets pass under a molded rubber sealing pad which is set tight
against the top portion of the feed wheel. The rubber pad and back-up plate each contain two
(2) specifically designed openings. One is used as an inlet for the compressed air and the
other is used as an outlet for the air material mixture. These openings are designed to align
with the “U”-shaped pockets of the feed wheel. As the loaded pockets pass under the pad and
line up with the openings, the compressed air which is directed to the inlet opening of the pad
then pushes the material from the pockets of the feed bowl and up through the pads outlet
opening where it travels through the gooseneck and into the delivery hose and nozzle. With
the constant even rotation of the feed bowl, the material can be exhausted into the hose in a
steady flow.
When equipped with an air motor, protection of the air motor and other related components
against premature wear is provided by an air filter and lubricator. The filter is used to remove
any liquids and solids from the incoming compressed air. The lubricator is used to induce a
controlled oil flow into the air stream where it is atomized into an airborne oil fog which is
carried to the air motor.
Controls for operation of the unit are at the machine. They include the ability to turn on and
regulate the air power to the motor and feed bowl, to monitor the pressure of the systems and
adjust the pad clamps.

SAFETY
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS AND SIGNAL WORDS
The following safety alert symbols, signals, and explanations are intended to warn the operator
of hazardous and potentially hazardous situations.
The triangle with the exclamation point inside is used to alert the operator to an important
safety point, and is called a safety alert symbol. One of the following signal words will appear
after the safety alert symbol:
If the safety alert symbol is followed by the signal word DANGER, the safety alert symbol
indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL lead to death or serious injury.
If the safety alert symbol is followed by the signal word WARNING, the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or
serious injury.
If the safety alert symbol is followed by the signal word CAUTION, the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in minor to
moderate injury.
The signal word CAUTION, but without safety alert symbol means the safety symbol alert
addresses a hazard which, if not avoided, COULD cause damage to equipment or property.
