hi folks Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering Jason on the camera Jose here he's from BMI he's
the tech rep who will show us how to assemble and disassemble this V 30 now BMI they make the d20
that the 30 they had the big silos BMI products are worldwide they're great great products we
are working with Ruiz Rui Braun's he's the vice president of BMI Gerry pazzo as well as Tom and
Jose here who's going to show us how to tear this thing apart you're gonna show us how to assemble
it and character part we're on the sixth floor of a building and we did have to take it apart
to bring it up here so I'll let you show them that technical stuff Jose okay this is our D 30 this is
our mixer that we use for mixing our six ninety plaster we use it for different products but for
this job we're gonna use it for just a plaster which is the six ninety and I'm gonna go quickly
over how to assemble the machine the machine is very easy to assemble there's only four removable
parts plus five which is the unit that hooks up for your hosts for the quick connect and this
will be called egg Iike this you put on the end of your hose so you could supply water to the system
the other thing that you do need for this machine is 220 usually the power that you need is 220 30
amp and this is the type of cord we supply with the machine which is usually about a hundred feet
it's a regular - a single-phase so you got two two hot sand one ground that you need for this
today we're going to use a generator that we also provided for the mixer the mixer oh please give me
all the time brother huh so this mixer like I said has water and power that it needs to actually run
so first of all the 220 we will connect to this socket right here which is on the right under
whether this push button is okay if you see right there it's of Mayo and of course you're gonna hook
up your female into it and it's a twist lock so when you plug it in you just line up make sure
look up for your ground connection and line it up with that one and once you connect it you twist
it to the right so you got that lock and solid connection okay the other thing that I was saying
earlier is the water connection so usually try to go minimum with the half-inch today we're using
about a 5/8 3/4 inch holes which should be fine for this we need a minimum pressure of 35 to 40
psi okay so to connect the water first of all you hook up our eco connection that we supply
with the machine twist it on to them the end of your hose and then you connect it to the bottom
of this control unit right here where the actual brain of the machine so you usually go from right
to left and you can see you always want to hook up your water right where the gauges okay so when
you put it on you just slide it over and you can see there's no screwing on it just it seals itself
up with the pressure so once the water runs to it it'll seal itself up and we shouldn't have a leak
okay down here you see there's the pressure gauge so the water enters through here goes
through this water reducer and this water reducer keeps it at a constant pressure and that's what
this machine needs if you don't have consistent water pressure you're gonna have inconsistent
mud coming out so as long as your pressure stays consistent and your pressures at 35 to 40 psi you
mix and never change okay right here to the left of this pressure pressure gauge there's a water
adjustment valve now you can see it looks kind of like the water dustman like on your hook you
know your spouts on your houses this works the same way when you want more water you're gonna
go to the lab and when you want to decrease the water you're gonna go to the right so usually I
set these machines at the shop at a default rate which is about three gallons per minute so it's
pretty much set and then once we run material out of here we see where the consistency is and
we just it from there depending on the contractor because contractors like some like a little bit
looser than others some like a little bit stiffer so once we get the first batch of material out
Wolffe adjust it from there depending on what they like okay so at the other end you see this yellow
hose this yellow hose is actually going to feed into the mix and that's going to connect to this
you know right here this long tube we call this the rubber mixing tube this is where the water
and the dry product are gonna mix this is the only part besides these other two parts which
is the nose cone and the mix shaft they actually get wet everything else stays dry so that's one
thing you got to remember when you're using this thing the only time you're probably gonna wet the
whole thing down is when you wash it out and when you're done completely with the machine
for your rental okay to assemble it like I said there's these units which is that like I said
the mixing shaft the nose cone and then mixed you there's the other unit what we call the dry auger
feeding auger on this it's actually going to feed the dried product when you dump it into here right
here this unit is what we call the hopper so you throw your bags on here and they have like these
teeth right here we throw it on top you kind of we'll go over how we feed it after we actually
put material but for right now we're just gonna show how it assembles and disassembles so like I
said this is the feeding auger and this is going to feed everything that's in here out through
here right into this mix too and once we put it together you'll see how it's done so to put this
dry auger in back here this motor swings open it has this hook so you could open it up and be
able to get to back here and as you can see right here on the motor it has a coupling that's what's
gonna line up to mix your feeding order you see how it has this unit right here this is actually
what connects and this motor drives the blood to the front and actually also mixes so as you know
as you can see it's a continuous mixer so it's feeding and mixing at the same time so to slide it
through you put this end in and you can see it has grooves these grooves are made this way so it can
lock up with the mixing shaft so to put it in you just slide it like so through the dozing part and
the dozing parts the small narrow hole that goes out to the front of the machine now right here
you line it up with the coupling make sure it sits right in the center and then you could close this
right up during the rent of the machine you never have to actually get back here unless somebody
dumps water back here and you got to get that wet mud that's out of here but usually you guys
always try to keep this area dry at the end of the day what you could do is just cover this up with
plastic to avoid moisture to get it in and then when the next day you could tear off the plastic
and start feeding it again product okay now up here to assemble the mix - which is the first
piece you put on here usually I grab the mix tube with two hands and I slide this right here and
this pin is what holds it onto the mid to the d30 so what I usually do I jiggle it with my left hand
and that kind of helps a pin slide through without no problems and if you don't do that people intend
to start hitting it with a hammer something you want to stay away from is if you do start hitting
with the hammer you're gonna have a bent pin and you're not gonna be able to assemble it okay so
before I close this up I put the mix next unit on which is the mixing shaft and like I said on
the feet in order to have those two grooves these two pins lock up with the feeding auger so to put
this together you want to slide this in first all the way back and what you want to do here is just
line it up with the feeding order you just want to get that shaft right in the center once you
get that in there you could lock this the shuttle run make sure you got a tight connection get it as
tight as you can and then what you want to do here is push it the rest of the way in and your guide
it's pretty much pushing it until you feel that lock in and you know it's locked in all you to
do is take a look back there and you can see the feeding auger spinning with the mixing shaft when
I spin it that's how you know they're connected now up here in the front you got the pedal that's
actually the paddle that pushes everything out usually when you know this is put on correctly is
when the first paddle is a half inch from the edge if it's out too far there's some dirty material or
there's some material inside the feeding auger where it connects to if it's not there it's back
here where the coupling is and the reason that gets back into that coupling is because when you
take it apart at the end of the day that feeding the augers gonna want to come out so it's going
to give it just a big enough gap to get product back there so that's something you got to keep
an eye on when you were actually assembling the machine okay so feeding augers connected with the
mixer shaft and I'm going to slide this the rest of the way in the last part that gets hooked up
to here is the the nose cone this is kind of like the spout the products going to drop out through
here and come in through here and as you can see there's a bearing here this is where the mixing
shaft sits and stay centered so this you got a crease what once a day that's the only thing
you need to grease on this machine and everything else is pretty greasy so you don't have to worry
about it okay so to put this notes going on over here in the front there's two slots so you see
these two guide pins all you got to do is Center those and make sure you're feeding art and you're
mixing shaft slice through your through your L bearing here and then you could close this up
these are adjustable so they're too loose you could just spin them and no tie it up
you want everything nice and tight right there is a proper way usually when you put
this those going on you don't want a gap here because you're gonna have product leaking out
of here so this is the way it's always got to be assembled if you have a gap here you got to
go back to what I was telling you earlier about the coupling back here make sure that coupling
is nice and clean and then everything will be assembled correctly if it's not going on
sealing right there I'd suggest open it up back here and clean that coupling okay that
hose that I showed you earlier which is the hose that actually connects to the mixed tube
goes into this elbow this is another thing you got to keep an eye on when you're when you clean
that in the day that this thing is not clogged up the product because when you wash it out in
the day the product will find its way in there so you got to double-check that before you actually
drop product in there and it connects the same way as your water hose over there on the bottom
and you just twist it and with the pressure skin the seal itself up okay over over here
on the on the other side if you want to take a look this is actually like I said the control
unit inside there's a couple breakers and that we there's a little key that this machine comes
on come to it so you could open up and take a look so here's the control panel for the mixer
this is actually the main brain of the machine this sends power to everything that this needs
and control and turns the water on and off for you so first of all you got your two breakers
which are the most important things here just got to make sure these black buttons are pushed
in that way you get the power to the units that you need so if for some reason they're popped
out you can reset them by pushing the Reds and then push the black ones back in that way to
connect the power goes to the where it needs to go okay if those are okay you just close this up
and turn on your water make sure you get a read pressure reading here and then right after that
you're ready to start dumping your bags in we'll go we'll go over to that once we're
ready to start mixing material and that is gonna be another video so we don't get this
too long and by the way I have a tommy gun 30 years ago and I had a plaster pump that we had
a worm drive to spray - finishes fall time with ten times as complicated as this this
looks like oh man that's a lot of stuff that is so easy compared to the other equipment that
we've used so appreciate you showing us how to assemble this and all that and then pretty quick
now he's gonna show on another video how do you actually use it and again I want to thank really
three bronze the president or vice president of BMI because these guys all them guys they
remind me of that actress Lucille Ball if you want something done ask the busiest person you
know and you just call these guys they are on it and they're so busy so I really appreciate
you having jose out here to show us how to use this and any of our YouTube viewers and
Jason and I thank you for watching this Jose thank you - we'll see on the next one and by
the way we will have a sister act as far as to follow this show you exactly how to mix it so
get very long drawn-out video thank you for watching it we'll see you guys on the next one
you
