Benefits of technology

[0009]In yet another embodiment of the invention, a method for safely conveying, power, and supplying air, electric, raw rehabilitation material, water and other material to an application point through a specially designed harness that encapsulates and protects the components of such a delivery system may be provided.
[0010]In accordance with a further embodiment of the invention, an inventive centrifugal spinner is preferably provided that may allow for the introduction of high volume, high pressure air and/or other materials at a discharge point, which in turn allows the rehabilitation material to be projected or propelled at a high velocity. This high veloci

Problems solved by technology

Application of mortar or other rehabilitation materials on the inside of concrete or metal pipes, other concrete or other surfaces to be remediated often takes too much time, the equipment is too expensive, and current processes fail to provide a satisfactory product.
Similar issues may present themselves when such pipe is formed of corrugated metal or other meta

Embodiment Construction

[0030]The invention will now be described making reference to the following drawings in which like reference numbers denote like structure or steps. In accordance with various embodiments of the invention, an inventive mortar may be applied in accordance with an inventive application method, employing an inventive application apparatus in order to address failures in pipes or other substances where access may be limited. Such inventive methods and systems may employ mixing of mortar material outside of a remediation area, delivery of one or more components thereof to be mixed in the vicinity of the remediation area, and preferred final placement of mortar material to an area in which there is limited or confined space access. The thoroughly mixed material may then preferably be applied through a high speed centrifugal sprayer or nozzle apparatus in a manner that produces a thick to thin overlaying fully compacted, consolidated composite.

Abstract

A spray head for spraying mortar is provided. The spray head includes a mortar supply pipe and a spinning head positioned at an outlet point of the mortar supply pipe, the spinning head directing mortar supplied from the mortar supply pipe in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel of mortar in the mortar supply pipe. An air intake for receiving air is further provided, the air being employed to spin the spinning head pneumatically. Finally, a material input port is provided for inputting material to be combined with the mortar in the mortar supply pipe at the outlet point of the mortar supply pipe.
