Operating Principle:
REED's SOVA dry mix gun has the same basic operating principle that has made its LOVA-style gun so successful throughout the world.
1. The dry mix is fed through a hopper into the pockets of the rotary feed wheel.
2. The rotary feed wheel, driven by a heavy-duty oil bath gear drive, rotates the mix under the conveying air inlet and material outlet.
3. With the introduction of single source compressed air, the mix is evacuated from the feed wheel pockets and then travels through the outlet.
4. The dry mix is then conveyed in suspension through the dry mix hose to the shotcrete nozzle where water is introduced.
