hi guys kirk and jason here with kirk giordano plastering, today we're working with our pals
here from BMi, jose here he showed on an earlier video how to use this D 30 here and you showed how
to assemble it take it apart set it all up today he's going to show actually how to use it in how
to mix it and trust me guys I've had a few mixers similar to this this is extremely simple for what
we're doing for mixers in general and we're doing a deck here this there's 10,000 feet of get on a
lot of levels here three different contractors besides myself all recommended BMI 694 this
particular project so I called my pals over at BMI Rory Braun's in particular and again three
bronze Jerry pulls on Tom and as well as Jose here these guys are excellent they're just like
that same by Lucille Ball the actress if you want something done called the busiest people you know
and every time I call these guys man they are on it silos these machines everything so we're gonna
we're gonna get started but before we get started obviously Jose is going to show us how to mix this
and it's a little bit different from all the pumps we've own because it's a lot simpler so Jose it's
all yours brother go ahead alright first of all before we actually start dropping product in here
we're gonna do checking the two important things water pressure and power as you can probably hear
there's a generator in the background that's our power so we know we're good at power as long as
you have your two 20 30 amp which usually most job sites have you should be fine water pressed water
is also another thing usually all job sites have water and like I said before you need 35 to 40 psi
minimum to get the proper mix that you need now first of all I'm gonna start dropping dry product
into this mixer to actually get it ready to start mixing so that's the most important thing keeping
this hopper like I said earlier full with product at all time your mixer never changed so I'm sure
water pressure stays consistent you should be having that same mud come out at all times okay
so first of all go right behind this machine here and start grabbing our ninety pound six
ninety bags this is our six ninety with fibers and there are ninety pound bags so they're a little
heavy so what you want to do is drop the bag just like so kind of push it down such as you can see
these teeth here or what's gonna turn to the bag and usually to open it up you just pull one side
and the teeth are gonna do the work for you lift the bag one side that way and do the same to the
other now I'm gonna go ahead and fill this hopper up by dumping about three to four more bags into
there I want to get this hopper full so we can get that first batch of Mix ready to just drop
into that wheelbarrow so you're gonna get a little bit dust so I'm I would ask this probably best if
you could use a dust mask that way you don't hail to minutes too much of this cement dust you try to
empty up the bag then just dump it off to the side grab your next bag and do the same thing
okay, so we got about three bags in there, so we're pretty much ready to start going here.
I checked earlier on our pressure gauge, and I got water pressure, which is an important thing.
If the waters cut off, you won't know it until it comes out, so it's important to make sure you got
pressure here on this gauge is right here I'm seeing that I got about 41 psi which is good
pressure, so we should be good to go so now that I know we've got water I know I have power because
of the generator in the background the noise and I got my hopper filled so all I need to do now is
get this thing to start going and to start it you see this will push button on top of the green and
the bottom of the red so to start it I'm just going to push the red the green and what I want
to do here I want to fill that wheelbarrow about a quarter because I got to let that mix to fill
itself so white when it gets to about a quarter of full you'll see where the consistencies at
so it doesn't take much to you know get it going that material it's pretty a pliable
they're running there by hand so I'm gonna do this increase the water a little bit cuz you don't want
to let this up products it too long because it does set pretty quick so since I'm working by hand
I'm going to increase the water a little bit and I'm wanting in the gold bottle quarter turn to the
left and give it about 10 seconds and there you see the change in it I'm gonna go ahead and stop
it because the hopper is getting low but there you go that's all it takes to get the first batch of
mud going full hopper enough water pressure and your power of course that's pretty cool
man a lot simpler than my other pump so I'll tell you guys what we're doing here is 10,000 feet of
deck and it's a lot of this stuff right here this particular material put it on once maybe twice but
you don't want to over trial it and it hangs like whipping cream that's why so many different people
recommended this product besides myself and even Andy Davis you said hey let's go with the 694 this
particular job great to work with will actually show you how to how we do that in another video
oh that should appreciate YouTube showing all the people this because I would have screwed it
up okay guys we're complete with this project I just want to point out this BMI machine rolls men
it rocks we saved a lot of time today I'm simply amazed take it from five contractors who have more
than about a 150 years combined that this machine is 50 years oh no he got 150 all by himself
hey 62, but I'll tell you don't what we do keeps you in great shape anyway guys,
my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering,
we thank you, fellas and ladies, watching and as usual, we'll see you guys on the next one
