Grout placement system
The Groutzilla Placement System from Stone Construction Equipment
places grout and masonry mortar using a mechanical delivery system. This
power-take-off-driven unit is designed to make placing grout in blocks,
walls, forms and foundations easy and efficient, while delivering
optimal control, minimal clean-up and high productivity. A swing-away
discharge snout eliminates the need for tools to clean the system and is
ergonomically designed to get rid of handling heavy components. With the
Groutzilla there is no need to take it apart or remove the auger during
clean up. The Groutzilla handles 20 cubic feet of grout material and the
discharge flow rate is 24 cubic yards per hour. Working in conjunction
with a telehandler or forklift, the system handles almost any slump,
filling multiple courses of block spanning 20 feet or more. The angled
geometry of the heavy-duty hopper promotes flow to the auger and helps
prevent accumulation of grout on the hopper's sidewalls. In addition,
the built-in splash guard reduces incidental spills and loss of material
while transporting.
