GENERAL
The essick model FM9 plastering machine is in a class by itself.
Its main functions are that of a standard finishing machine: Mainly
applying acoustical ceilings, exterior dash stucco finish and
inside sand finish, as well as fireproofing steel beams. Although
it was not designed to be used in place of a high-volume base
coat plastering machine, it may be used to apply inside brown
and it is capable of applying a half-sand, half-vermiculite mix at
a very practical rate, which is satisfactory for some jobs.
This machine is equipped with a transmission having 3 forward
speeds plus a reverse gear and is powered by a 9.2 hp engine,
which also drives a heavy-duty twin-cylinder air compressor.
Although the procedure for mixing and applying the materials
varies with each material being sprayed, the following procedure
applies to all the materials mentioned above.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Connect the air lines from the machine to the air control block
mounted on the nozzle. One air line runs from the air compressor
outlet on the machine to the inlet on the control block next to the
sleeve valve. This line has air blowing out of it when the
compressor is running. The other air line runs from the sleeve
valve on the control block to the throttle cylinder inlet on the
machine.
In operation, the compressor furnishes air to the control block.
The valve located on the front of the block is for the adjustment of
atomized air which is used for the spraying of material. The sleeve
valve operates the throttle cylinder on the engine. When the
sleeve valve is in the closed position, air pressure is applied to
the cylinder and the engine will speed up to the preset governed
speed. When the sleeve valve is in the open position, air pressure
is released from the spring loaded throttle cylinder and the
engine will return to idle speed.
Before starting engine, check oil levels in engine crankcase,
transmission and compressor. Place volume control lever
(transmission lever) in the position for the desired speed to be
used. Turn the throttle control air valve, located on the spray gun,
to the “off position.
After mixing the material, lubricate the pump and hose by pouring
a few gallons of water into the hopper. Adjust the air pressure to
approximately 20 lbs. and turn the throttle control air valve to
“on” position.
Continue to pump out the water until it reaches the level of the
pump. Then fill the hopper half full with the material to be sprayed.
After the remaining water in the hose has been pumped out and
material appears at the nozzle, point nozzle into hopper and
make final air adjustments. With final adjustments made, turn air
valve off.
CAUTION: Never turn off pump until material appears at nozzle.
This may cause separation of the material, which would clog up
pump and hose.
Fill hopper and carry nozzle and hose to spraying area. Turn air
valve”on” and proceed to spray, working a pattern. Always overlap
the spray, but never hold the gun still in an attempt to fill a void or
defect.
CAUTION:Never run the pump dry, as this causes rapid
pump wear or damage.
At the end of the day, or when changing from one material to
another, the machine should be washed out. It is also suggested
that when pumping quick setting materials to wash out machine
and hoses approximately every 4 hours.
To clean the hopper and pump parts, run transmission in reverse
gear to relieve back pressure in hose, turn off engine, remove
spray gun and disconnect material hose. Remove pipe plug at
bottom of hopper, drain, and wash down the remaining material
with water. Replace plug.
After the material has been washed out of the hopper, the hose
can be cleaned by disconnecting the material hose from the
machine and removing the spray gun. Roll up a wet sponge and
place it into the material hose, reconnect the hose to pump fitting,
fill hopper half full with water and start machine.Pump enough
water through hose to push sponge through entire length of
hose. After sponge is pumped out, turn off engine and remove
drain plug from hopper to drain remaining water. Repeat the
sponge process if necessary.
Wash out spray gun, nozzle and orifices. Hose down screens
and the outside of the machine.
Note:When washing down the outside of the machine, be
sure the rubber boot is in place over the transmission lever pivot.
This prevents water from entering the transmission. Clean and
oil all threads and joints.
MIXING AND APPLYING VARIOUS MATERIAL
The surface to be sprayed should be thoroughly dry. Do not wet
before applying dash coat. Use either a 1/4" or 3/8" orifice. Be
sure a soft rubber stator tube is used, as soft rubber will resist
abrasives. After material is mixed, proceed as explained in the
operating instructions. Adjust volume at low speed and air
pressure to 20-25 lbs. If a second coat is to be applied, be sure
that the surface appears dry to the eye before application or it
will dry spotty and show a different shade of color.
SIMULATED ACOUSTIC CEILINGS
In many areas prepared materials are available for simulated
acoustic ceilings. In areas where prepared materials are not
available and where a contractor prefers to mix his own, the
following mix makes a satisfactory texture.
100 lbs. — Gypsum
6 cu. ft. — Vermiculite or perlite
Mix the above materials thoroughly so the aggregate does not
separate when in hopper. This mix should be of heavier
consistency than exterior dash, but still wet enough to pass
through a 3/8" screen.
If the material aggregate is made of vermiculite, use the hard
rubber stator. If the material is made of perlite, the soft rubber
stator should be installed. By using a 3/8" orifice and adjusting
the volume at second speed and the air pressure to 20-25 lbs. A
very satisfactory pattern can be obtained.
EXTERIOR DASH STUCCO
In areas where this type of finish is popular, a prepared machine
mix is available which requires only the addition of water.
however, some contractors prefer to mix their own material. The
following is considered a very satisfactory machine mix:
200 lbs. — Silica sand mo. 20
50 to 60 lbs. — Hydrated lime
100 lbs. — Plastic cement
2 to 3 lbs. — Zonolite finish aggregate
Color may be added as desired, but should be measured
for uniformity.
The above materials must be thoroughly mixed and of a thin
consistency, similar to a hand dash coat mix.
Since the finished appearance depends on the condition of the
original surface, it is suggested that any obvious defects, such
as ridges or holes, should be repaired with a hand trowel also,
the ceiling should BE scraped with a floor or wall scraper prior to
spraying the first coat.
Care should be taken when spraying the ceilings to fill the angles
well. This can be achieved by pointing the nozzle directly into
the angle, thereby spraying on the wall as well as on the ceiling.
The overspray on the wall can be quickly removed by using the
same scraper mentioned above.
You will find that a better job can be accomplished if two coats
are applied. But before applying the second coat, an inspection
of the surface should be made and any defects should be repaired
with a small trowel. After the inspection, the second coat can be
immediately applied.
FULL ACOUSTIC CEILINGS AND FIREPROOFING UNDER
STEEL DECK
There are a number of various acoustic materials available, all
of which can be pumped through this machine. Some of these
materials are made from vermiculite and others from perlite.
Although we do not make any recommendations as to which is
the better acoustic material, we do point out the fact that perlite is
very abrasive and will cause rapid pump wear whereas,
vermiculite will give longer pump life.
Only water needs to be added to ready-prepared materials. Some
manufacturers suggest the correct amount of water in the
instructions on the bag. However, if no instructions are available,
the material should be mixed to a consistency thinner than. that
of a mixture for hand application. I.E., thin enough so that only
about i0 percent of the material will be retained on a 1/2" screen
when it is poured into the hopper of the machine.
After the material is mixed, proceed as explained in the operating
instructions. Use either a 3/8", 7/16" or 1/2" orifice, depending on
the desired texture. Use the same size hopper screen as the size
of the orifice that is going to be used. Use 3/8" screen with 7/16"
orifice. Use a hard rubber stator with vermiculite and a soft rubber
stator with perlite. By adjusting the volume to second speed and
the air pressure to 15-20 lbs, a good yardage can be obtained in
small areas. However, in larger areas it may be desirable to
operate at full volume.
The application of full acoustic is very similar to that of simulated
acoustic, except that successive coats can be applied until proper
thickness is obtained. For application procedure refer to
“simulated acoustic ceilings” paragraph.
DRYWALL MIX APPLICATION
The FM9 works quite satisfactorily for applying drywall texture
mixes such as: Spatter, orange peel, fog, sand finish, as well as
simulated acoustic textures. In addition, it can be used for
application of mastics, sealants, emulsions, glazes,
roofingfinishes, sealers, water base paints, and cement paints.
BROWN COAT
As previously stated, the ESSICK MODEL FM9 plastering
machine is not designed to do the work of a large base coat
machine. Although it is not recommended, due to the rapid wear
on the rotor and stator tube, it can apply brown coat and scratch
material at a rate fast enough to be practical for some jobs.
When the machine is to be used for the application of brown or
scratch material we recommend that the following suggestions
be taken into consideration to aid the machine in pumping and
also to obtain better results.
Install on machine, if not presently equipped, a soft rubber stator,
a “hi volume” rotor and a 1-1/2" pump outlet fitting. Refer to “hi
volume” instructions for changing of rotor and stator.
Use, if possible, a 400675 browning nozzle with a 5/8" orifice for
outside brown and scratch and a 1/2" orifice for inside brown.
The length of 1-1/2" hose should not exceed 100 ft. With hoses
and nozzle attached adjust the air pressure to approximately 20
p.s.i. and set machine at full volume.
The following is a satisfactory brown coat mix:
1-1/2 cu. ft. — Vermiculite
FIREPROOFING STEEL BEAMS
Consult the building specifications regarding the type of material
to be used. Normally, for fireproofing metal lath wrapped steel
beams, the mixture consists of one sack of either perlite or
vermiculite and one sack of gypsum. These materials should be
mixed to a consistency thinner than that for hand application
and sprayed approximately 1" thick with an application. If a
greater volume is desired, it is recommended to use a 1-1/2"
hose with the machine at full volume. Note: The shorter the hose
length, the greater the volume obtained.
Use the hard rubber stator with vermiculite and the soft rubber
stator with perlite. It is also suggested that the largest size air jet
be used in the nozzle and a 7/16" or 1/2" orifice. With the air
pressure at minimum (approximately 10 PSI).
This is a very difficult operation and the operator’s technique will
improve with experience. The majority of experienced operators
prefer to use a short nozzle for better maneuvering around steel
beams.
1-1/2 cu. ft. — Sand
1 Sack gypsum
Note: The best results are obtained by not using over 50 percent
sand aggregate.
The mixing procedure should be as follows: Put approximately
10 gallons of water in the mixer and add 1-1/2 cu. ft.of vermiculite.
This allows the vermiculite to absorb sufficient water. Add one
sack of gypsum (machine application type) and shovel in 1-1/2
cu. ft. of sand (approximately eleven no. 2 shovels). additional
water should be added at this time.
It is difficult to predetermine the amount of water, as there are
several variations possible. The amount of water is critical and
experience will allow the operator to deterhine the correct amount.
Refer to engine manufacturer’s maintenance manual for
lubrication, adjustments and maintenance. Under extremely dusty
working conditions special attention should be given to air and
oil filters and crankcase breather.
TRANSMISSION
The transmission has 3 speeds forward plus one reverse and is
totally enclosed with all gears running in oil. Shifting to the forward
and reverse speeds is similar to that of an automobile. See
diagram.
The reverse gear can be used to relieve the back pressure
whenever the hose or pump becomes clogged.
Note: Gears should only be shifted when engine is idling.
If at any time it is difficult to shift gears, it is because the gears are
meeting at flat points and realignment can be fired by speeding
up the engine and returning it to idle.
The oil level plug, filter plug and drain plug are located on the
side of the transmission. Use SAE 90 oil and check monthly.
ROTOR AND STATOR
Both the rotor and stator parts are subjected to wear. It is difficult
to say just how long a stator or rotor will last, as this depends on
various conditions under which the machine is operated. The
abrasive type materials will cause the most wear. Therefore, to
prolong the life of the pump, the stator tubes are made of two
types of rubber: A soft rubber stator for use with abrasive
aggregates, such as sand or perlite and a hard rubber stator for
use with non-abrasive aggregates. It is not necessary to replace
both the rotor and stator at the same time, as a rotor will normally
last through approximately 3 stator tubes.
To prevent excessive wear of the pump, the following precautions
should be taken.
1.Do not use long hoses. Use as short a hose as feasible.
2.Avoid the use of extremely stiff materials. They reduce the
volume.
3.Ensure sufficient “fat” for lubrication by not having the mixes
too “lean”.
4.Never allow the hopper to run out of material with the pump
operating.
5.Turn stator tube end for end about twice during its life.
ROTOR AND INSTALLATION
Lubricate the inside of the stator tube and the rotor with a liquid
detergent or soap (oil will deteriorate the rubber). This will make
the rotor slide into the stator tube with very little pressure.
The fit between the stator and rotor has to be very tight and may
be difficult to achieve when these parts are assembled without
lubrication.
It is normally difficult to operate the machine in second or third
gear with the “hi volume” pump until approximately one days run
of material has passed through the newly installed pump. This is
due to the fact that the rotor must smooth itself out. The rotor and
COMPRESSOR
Refer to compressor manufacturer’s maintenance manual for
lubrication, adjustments and maintenance.
CLUTCH
The clutch is a centrifugal type clutch and is fully automatic. It is
set at the factory to start engaging at 1600 r.p.m. and is fully
engaged at 1700 r.p.m. It is ineffective at engine idle speed of
1550 r.p.m. Do not idle engine for prolonged periods of time, as
it may overheat. Also, be sure engine does not idle at a higher
speed, as this will wear the automatic, clutch.
stator have to be very tight in the machine, as well as the clamp
around the stator tube.
Upon installing the soft rubber pump you will find that the fit
between the rotor and stator is not quite as tight as on the hard
rubber pump. With lubricant in the pump (water or material) you
should be able to run the machine in second or third gear from
the beginning.
Near the transmission and welded to the bottom side of the hopper
is a packing box with special rubberized packing. A split packing
gland is located on the outside of the hopper. By tightening this
gland the packing in the box is compressed to keep moisture
from leaking out around the shaft.
It is necessary on new units for the packing to be compressed
several times before it sets properly around the drive shaft. This
must be done when the unit is put into operation for the first time
as well as each time a complete new set of packings are installed.
The following is a suggested procedure of maintenance:
BREAK-IN
Tighten evenly approximately 100 in. pounds torque) the two
nuts located on packing gland. These nuts should be tight but
not so tight as to seize or bind the shaft. Do this twice a day for the
first 5 days of running time.
MAINTAIN
The packing should be lubricated daily with two shots of a good
grade of waterproof grease. The grease fitting located on the
drive line between the packing gland and the transmission is
provided for this purpose. Daily lubrication will prolong the life of
the packing.
After break-in period, tighten nuts at least once a week unless
there are signs of leakage around shaft, (periodic checks for this
is suggested) then tighten at once.
DRIVE SHAFT ALIGNMENT
If at any time the transmission is disassembled from its mounting
base then caution should be taken that on reassembly the drive
shaft is in alignment with transmission. to check alignment let
drive shaft with packing and packing gland installed, rest free.
Place transmission onto base.If mounting holes in drive shaft
and transmission do not line up without any pressure or force
being applied then it is necessary to place shims beneath
transmission until required height is obtained.
REPLACING AND ADJUSTING THE BELTS
For adjusting the belts on the countershaft pulleys the unit is
equipped with belt tighteners. The belts can be tightened by
turning the set screws on the counter shaft risers. When adjusting
the belts, both sides must be equally adjusted. the belts should
be fairly tight.
To adjust the compressor belts, loosen the compressor mounting
bolts and slide the compressor until belt is tight. Note: This belt
should not be as tight as the ones on the countershaft.
To replace the countershaft belts, loosen the set screws in the
bearing collars and slide the shaft out until the belts can be
removed. However, it may be necessary (due to the bearings
freezing to the shaft) to remove the two bolts on the bearing
bracket at each end and slide out the shaft and bearings. When
installing a new belt, readjustment will be necessary. After a few
hours of operation check the adjustment of the new belt as there
is generally a certain amount of initial stretch.
When all take-up on gland has been used, loosen packing gland,
coat new packing ring and drive shaft with a generous amount of
a good grade of waterproof grease, insert packing, and continue
to maintain as noted above.
NEW PACKING
At such a time when old packing is to be completely replaced,
coat shaft and packing generously with a good grade of
waterproof grease and insert packing rings. Tighten packing
gland nuts to approximately 150 in. pounds torque to seat packing,
then back off nuts so drive shaft is not bound, but not less than
100 in. pounds torque on the nuts. Then follow procedure outlined
above.
COUNTERSHAFT BEARINGS
The countershaft supports are equipped with double-sealed ball
bearings. These bearings are pre-lubricated at the factory and
require no additional lubrication.
SLOW-DOWN DEVICE
A slow-down device is located on the countershaft riser. This
device is actuated by air, which is controlled by the air valve on
the spray gun. When the air valve is “on,” the shaft of the slow-
down device is extended and thereby allows engine to reach
the set governed speed. When the valve is turned “off,” the shaft
retracts and the engine idles at preset speed.
The governed engine speed is set at the factory at 3000 r.p.m.
less volume can be attained by readjusting the governed speed.
However, the speed should not be adjusted to less than 2000
r.p.m. (about 5 notches on the throttle control lever).
An air pulsation chamber is located on the left side of the unit.
The air is supplied to the chamber from the compressor. The
chamber is eouipped with an air pressure gauge and a safety
valve. The safety
valve is set at the factory at approximately 60
lbs.
COMPRESSOR MOTOR - The 1H.P. compressor motor is
operated by a manual ON-OFF switch on the control panel.
PUMP MOTOR - The 5 H.P. pump motor is operated by a magnetic
starter switch. The magnetic starter is equipped with an overload
heater for motor protection.
A 240-volt system of switches and relays is used to control the
magnetic starter. It is protected by a circuit breaker with a reset
HI-VOLUME PUMP
An outstanding feature of the ESSICK MODEL FM9 finishing
machine is that two different size pumps may be used, which
tremendously increases its versatility. A more powerful engine
and transmission are designed into this unit and a hi-volume
pump is furnished as standard. A lo-volume pump is offered as
an optional item. This pump consists of two parts: A smaller rotor
button in the door of the starter box
The air control sleeve valve on the nozzle is the master link in
the system. Connect the air line from the air compressor outlet to
the inlet on the control block next to the sleeve valve. This line
has air blowing out of it when the compressor is running. The
other air line runs from the sleeve valve to the pressure switch
inlet on the machine.
and a smaller stator, which, in turn, may be used when a lower
volume of material is required.
The installation of this pump is very easy because all parts are
interchangeable. It is only necessary to remove the rotor pin,
which fastens the rotor to the connecting rod located at the bottom
of the material hopper, and then thread out the stator tube with
the rotor encased, and install the lo-volume pump in the same
manner. The installation is made easier by threading the rotor
In operation, the sleeve valve operates the pressure switch. When
the sleeve valve is in the CLOSED position, air pressure is
applied to the pressure switch. This closes the switch and starts
the pump motor. When the sleeve valve is in the OPEN position,
air pressure is released from the pressure switch. This opens the
switch and stops the pump motor. The pump cannot be operated
without the air controls and air lines. This is a safety feature for
the gun operator and must not be bypassed in any way.
into the stator tube prior to starting assembly.
An AUTO-OFF-HAND switch is located on the door of the starter
Fireproofing is one application where the hi-volume pump is of
great advantage. Competitive machines available for fireproofing
are twice the price of this versatile machine. Another purpose for
which the machine can be employed is the application of
browncoat. The hi-volume pump will apply approximately 14
box. Turning the switch to OFF overrides the sleeve valve control
and stops the pump. Turning the switch back to AUTO or HAND
returns control to the sleeve valve. This switch must never be
wired to turn the pump on without air pressure from the sleeve
valve to the pressure switch.
sacks of gypsum hardwall material per hour.
To obtain maximum volume we suggest not to use more than 75
feet of 1-1/2" hose (actual pump volume is slightly under 2 c.f.m.).
