technical data
2.1 Description of machine

The mono-mix is a general purpose rendering machine
for all indoor and outdoor rendered finishes with grain
sizes up to 3 mm maximum.
The mixing and pumping units of the mono-mix are
driven by a common electric motor. The mixing unit
mixes the material to the desired consistency and then
pumps it out through an eccentric screw pump.
The mono-mix is automatically controlled during opera-
tion from the sprayer unit, through its control-cabinet,
the water fittings and the air valves. Operation can also
be controlled manually direct from the machine, for ex-
ample when starting up and for cleaning the mono-mix.

3 Safety
3.1 Danger of non-observance of safety in-

structions
The mono-mix is built using state-of-the-art tech-
nology and left the factory in perfect condition. It
can nevertheless be dangerous if used improperly or !
for unsuitable purposes or by untrained personnel.
For this reason, every person involved in the use, serv-
ice and maintenance of the machine must previously
have read and understood these instructions for opera-
tion and especially Chapter 3, Safety. The relevant regu-
lations for the avoidance of accidents and commonly
recognized rules regarding technical security and
health and safety at work should be respected.
3.2 Approved use

The approved use of the mono-mix is for the mixing
and pumping of pre-mixed dry material of max. grain
size 3 mm, such as mortar or lime rendering plaster.
3.3 Non-approved use

Use for inappropriate purposes involves risk of danger
to life and limb of the operator with the possibility of
damage to the machine and a further danger of impair-
ment of the efficient operation of the machine.
Unauthorized modifications and alterations to the ma-
chine, automatically invalidate any liability of the manu-
facturer for consequent damage.
Only original m-tec spare parts and items of equip-
392603/001 - 09/2004
ment may be used. m-tec cannot accept any responsi-

bility for damage caused by the use of non-original

Safety 21
3.5 Instructions for safety at work

• Before each shift, machines must be inspected
visually by the operator for any visible defects.
During this inspection, special attention should be
paid to electrical conductors, plugs, couplings and
hoses for mortar and air.
• Machines must be subjected to testing by an ex-
pert for their fitness for use as required, but in any
case at least once a year.
• An expert should be taken to mean a person who,
by reason of his professional training and experi-
ence, has sufficient knowledge in the field of mor-
tar delivery and spraying machines and is suffi-
ciently well acquainted with the relevant govern-
ment regulations regarding safety at work, regula-
tions for the avoidance of accidents, guide-lines
and recognized technical rules, to be capable of
evaluating the fitness for use of the machine.
• The machine must be set up out of the danger
area of above-ground work sites, or the place of
operation of the machine must be shielded by a
protective roof against falling objects.
• The machine must stand firmly on a level surface
and be protected against unintended movements.
• The working areas round the control cabinetand
the pump unit must be kept freely accessible.
• The mains supply to the machine must in every
case be protected by an earth-leak circuit breaker
(for example in the building site main cabinet).
• In accordance with the regulations for the avoid-
ance of accidents of the trade unions, we recom-
mend the use of a pressure gauge for the mortar
hose. It enables the operator to check delivery
pressure in the mortar hose and serves for the
safety of personnel and the economic use of the
machine. A hose pressure manometer is included
392603/001 - 09/2004
in delivery of the mono-mix.

• For safety reasons, the machine may only be used

with the prescribed mortar hoses having permissi-
ble pressure overload of 40 bar and a bursting
strength of 120 bar.
• The machine must not be lifted by a crane or other
handling equipment, for example to raise it to a
higher floor of a building or load it onto a truck.
• When the mono-mix is switched off using the air
valve on the sprayer unit, the machine is still ready
for operation and can be started again at any mo-
ment by actuating the air valve a second time. The
machine is ready for operation again. Indicator: the
white lamp of the ON/OFF push-button is illumi-
nated.
• Delivery hoses must only be uncoupled when not
under pressure. This can be checked on the hose
pressure manometer. If there is still pressure re-
maining in the hoses, this must first be released,
e.g. by pumping backwards. For safety from any
material that might be ejected, cover couplings
when releasing them and wear safety goggles.
• For all maintenance operations on the machine,
pull out the mains supply plug. Even when the
machine is switched off, various parts still hold a
charge.
• Only original m-tec spare parts and items of
equipment may be used. m-tec cannot accept any
responsibility for damage caused by the use of
non-original spare parts.
3.6 Extract from safety regulations for mortar

spraying machines
The machines must only be used for appropriate pur-
poses and in accordance with the manufacturer’s in-
structions for use.
392603/001 - 09/2004
The machines must only be used by suitable, responsi-

ble persons (machine operators) designated by the
contractor, who have been instructed in the servicing

Safety 23
and maintenance of the machine and are familiar with

their method of use.
The machines must stand firmly on a level surface and
be protected against unintended movements.
Electrically driven machines must be connected to an
appropriate supply point (usually the building site main
cabinet) in conformity with EN 60 204.
The machines must be set up out of the danger area of
above-ground work sites, or the place of operation of
the machines must be shielded by a protective roof
against falling objects.
Delivery hoses must be laid out in such a manner that
they cannot be damaged. For changes in direction, the
radius of the curve must be no less than six times the
outer diameter of the pipe.
When the machine is operated, it is necessary to ascer-
tain that the delivery pipes have been adequately lubri-
cated beforehand, that the mortar is good for pumping
and that there are no leaks in the connections.
Before opening a delivery pipe connection or any other
pressurized part of the system, depressurize the ma-
chine, e.g. by pumping backwards and check that
there is no pressure remaining in the system.
Blockages should be cleared as directed in the instruc-
tions for use. Persons engaged in clearing of blockages
must position themselves so that they cannot be struck
by any mortar that may be ejected. Other persons
should not remain in the vicinity.
Monitoring and testing
Before each shift, machines must be inspected visually
by the operator for any visible defects.
During this inspection, special attention should be paid
392603/001 - 09/2004
to electrical conductors, plugs, couplings and hoses

for mortar and air.

Machines must be subjected to testing by an expert

for their fitness for use as required, but in any case at
least once a year.
An expert should be taken to mean a person who, by
reason of his professional training and experience, has
sufficient knowledge in the field of mortar delivery and
spraying machines and is sufficiently well acquainted
with the relevant government regulations regarding
safety at work, regulations for the avoidance of acci-
dents, guide-lines and recognized technical rules, to be
capable of evaluating the fitness for use of the ma-
chine.
Compressor and compressed air reservoir conform to
the relevant test requirements contained in the regula-
tions for the avoidance of accidents regarding “Com-
pressors” (VBG 16) and the pressurized container regu-
lations of 1981.
3.7 Equipment for personal protection

It is the responsibility of the contractor to provide ap-
propriate equipment for protection against noise if the
level measured on the work site exceeds 85 dB (A).
Workers are required to use this equipment at levels
from 90dB (A).
Adequate eye-protecting goggles must be worn during
clearing of blockages and while spraying.
Goggles shall be considered adequate if the body and
the safety glass conform respectively to DIN 58211 Part
2 and DIN 4647 Sheet 5.
During spraying operations, adequate protection for the
head and feet must also be worn.
392603/001 - 09/2004

Assembly and transport 25
4 Assembly and transport
4.1 Assembling the machine

The machines must stand firmly on a level surface
and be protected against unintended movements.
!
The machines must be set up out of the danger area
of above-ground work sites, or the place of opera-
tion of the machines must be shielded by a protec-
tive roof against falling objects.
The working areas round the control cabinet and
the pump unit must be kept freely accessible.
4.2 Transporting the machine: dismantling

into components, assembly
The machine must not be lifted by a crane or other
handling equipment, for example to raise it to a
higher floor of a building or load it onto a truck. !
The mono-mix is quickly and simply dismantled into
component units and is then easily transported into
buildings, for example.
4.2.1 Dismantling into components and assembly
• Before the machine is dismantled into its compo-

nent units, the electrical conductors, water and air
pipes and mortar hoses must be removed.
• Then empty material hopper of machine or run it
until empty.
Delivery hoses must only be uncoupled under zero
pressure. !
392603/001 - 09/2004

• Before uncoupling a mortar hose, check the pres-

sure in the hose on the hose pressure manometer.
If any pressure still remains in the hose pipes, it
must first be released:
- Switch machine off using the ON/OFF switch.
- Set reversing switch in switch cabinet on reverse
rotation, then use the ON button to let machine
run as long as is necessary to release the pres-
sure.
- Switch machine off with ON/OFF switch. Set
main switch to “0”.
For safety from any material that might be ejected,
cover couplings when releasing them and wear
! safety goggles.
- Release couplings.
• Disassemble pump end piece with screw pump:
- Loosen clamping wedge
- Remove pump end piece and screw pump
• Remove pump motor with pump rocker from mix-
ing tube:
- Slacken eccentric fastening
- Remove cotter from socket pin, withdraw socket
pin
- Remove pump motor with its rocker
- Withdraw mixer shaft from mixing tube
• Remove material hopper with agitator
- Release wedge
- Take out hopper towards the front
To reassemble the component units, follow the above
procedure in reverse order. When doing this, special
care must be taken to assemble the screw pump cor-
rectly.
392603/001 - 09/2004

Assembly and transport 27
4.2.2 Assembling the screw pump
• Respect assembly instructions on the stator

• Attach a tie rod to mixer element on one side
• Place screw cover on pump end piece and attach
second tie rod
• Tension tie rods evenly using tensioning wedges
• Check that stator is positioned in centring seats
between pump end piece and mixer element and
that it stands vertical
• Check tension in tie rods: if it is insufficient, the
tension must be adjusted using tensioning nut and
locknut on tie rod.

5 Operation
During all operations, the safety regulations regard-
ing mortar spraying machines must be strictly ob-
! served.
Before each shift, machines must be inspected visu-
ally by the operator for any visible defects.
During this inspection, special attention should be
paid to electrical conductors, plugs, couplings and
hoses for mortar and air.
5.1 Starting up
The water supply is connected through a 3/4" water
hose with GEKA coupling. The water hose is con-
nected to the labelled water connection on the ma-
chine.
The integrated water connection from the flow meter to
the mixing pipe can be adjusted depending on the
plaster material in use. For cement facings, the upper
GEKA connection on the mixing pipe should be used,
and for plaster facings, the lower one. The connection
which is not in use is sealed by means of a dummy
flange.
To ensure fault-free operation at low water pressures
(less than 2 bar), it is possible to connect an additional
booster pump.
If the water supply from the pipe is not sufficient, a
water tank can be installed near the machine. Water is
taken out of the tank by means of a hose (3/4") and a
water pump. Air must first be removed from the hose.

5.1.2 Establish electric power supply
The machine may only be connected to a supply in

conformity with regulations and provided with an earth-
leak circuit breaker
• Fuse protection required:
- 230 V motor of 2.2 kW, at least 16 A
• Cable and plug types
- 230 V supply: cable of cross-section 3x2.52, shok-
proof plug and EEC coupling, 16 A, 3-pole, 6h
5.1.3 Set direction of rotation of motor
Check correct direction of rotation of the motor.

• The direction of rotation can be seen from the fan
wheel; the right direction of rotation is indicated by
an arrow on the ventilator cowling.
• The direction of rotation is controlled by means of
the reversing switch. Position 1 = Forward, Posi-
tion 2 = Reverse.
• The solenoid valve opens only in position 1 = for-
ward. Water infeed can take place in this position
only.
5.1.4 Assembly of air and delivery hoses
For safety reasons, the machine may only be used

with the prescribed mortar hoses having permissi-
! ble pressure overload of 40 bar and a bursting
strength of 120 bar.
In accordance with the regulations for the avoid-
! ance of accidents of the trade unions, we recom-
392603/001 - 09/2004
mend the use of a pressure gauge for the mortar

hose. It enables the operator to check delivery pres-

Operation 31
sure in the mortar hose and serves for the safety of

personnel and the economic use of the machine. A
hose pressure manometer is included in delivery of !
the mono-mix.
Delivery hoses must only be uncoupled when not
under pressure.
In order to avoid applying needless loads to the ma-
chine and to reduce the rate of wear of the screw
pump, the length of mortar hoses used should be no
greater than necessary.
• Lay out air and delivery hoses of the desired length
in a straight line from the machine to the work site.
Couple mortar hose to pump end piece after hose
pressure manometer, and air hose to compressor.
• With NW25 mortar hoses, reducing adaptor V35/
V25 must be coupled in between.
• To enable mortar pressure to be checked in normal
operation and in the event of blockages, we rec-
ommend the use of a pressure gauge for the mor-
tar hose.
This also enables excessive wear of the eccentric
screw pump to be avoided.
• The sprayer unit used must be securely coupled to
mortar hose and air hose; for a table of the sprayer
units available, see chap 9.2.
For starting up the mono-mix, the air and mortar
valves of the sprayer unit must be open, since oth-
erwise the machine will be unable to start with the
compressor operating.
392603/001 - 09/2004

5.1.5 Moisten hoses with milk of lime
To avoid blockages, mortar hoses must be moistened

with slurry before use. For rendering and mortar, milk of
lime is recommended.
• Actuate water pre-fill button until head of screw
pump is covered
• Pour milk of lime into material hopper
• Switch on motor using ON/OFF switch and run un-
til milk of lime is pumped into mortar hose
5.1.6 Filling the machine

Operation 33
5.2 Operation of the mono-mix

The safety regulations concerning mortar spraying
machines must be strictly observed at all times. !
5.2.1 Pumping and spraying
Once the instructions in 5.1 have been followed, the

machine is already running; the dry material slips
down out of the hopper into the mixing tube. There it is
mixed and pumped through to the sprayer unit by the
screw pump. During this process, the whole apparatus
is automatically controll
When the mono-mix is switched off using the air
valve on the sprayer unit, the machine is still ready
for operation and can be started again at any mo- !
ment by actuating the air valve a second time. The
machine is ready for operation again. How to tell:
the white light of the ON/OFF push-button is illu-
minated.
5.2.2 Pauses
• For short pauses in operation, the machine is auto-

matically switched off by closing the air valve on
the sprayer unit.
• For pauses longer than 10 minutes, the apparatus
should be switched off using the ON/OFF switch.
For longer pauses, always bear in mind the setting
time of the mortar in the machine and the hoses.
• At high outdoor temperatures and for interruptions
of more than 30 minutes, the delivery hoses
should be run empty. The machine should then be
switched off using the ON/OFF switch.
392603/001 - 09/2004

5.3 Clearing blockages

Should a blockage occur, proceed as follows:
• Switch machine off using the ON/OFF switch
• Reverse the direction of rotation of motor using the
reversing switch
• Switch machine on again using the ON/OFF
switch and allow it to run backwards until pres-
sure in the mortar hoses is down to zero.
• Make sure that the mortar hoses are depressu-
rized
! under pressure. For safety from any material that
might be ejected, cover couplings when releasing
them and wear safety goggles.
• Release hose couplings
• Clean mortar hoses
5.4 Winter-time operation

The machine can be damaged by water freezing in-
side the water unit.
For this reason, when work is to be interrupted for
longer periods, and after cleaning, the water fittings of
the machine must always be completely emptied.
• Cut off water supply and uncouple feed hose and
empty it.
• Empty water hose joining water fittings and mix-
ing tube
• Open drain cock on water fittings
392603/001 - 09/2004
• The drain cock must be closed again before the

machine is restarted

Cleaning 35
6 Cleaning
6.1 Cleaning the mono-mix

• Run machine dry; to do this, open air and mortar
valves on sprayer unit and allow mixer motor to go
on running until nothing but water comes out of
the sprayer nozzle.
• Close air and mortar valves on sprayer unit
• Establish zero pressure in mortar hose; to do this:
- Reverse the direction of rotation of motor using
the reversing switch
- Switch machine on again using the ON/OFF
switch and allow it to run backwards until pres-
sure in the mortar hoses is down to zero
- Make sure that the mortar hoses are depressu-
rized
For all further operations, the main switch must be
set to position “0”; the machine will only be
switched on again briefly for certain specific opera-
!
tions.
under pressure. For safety from any material that
might be ejected, cover couplings when releasing !
them and wear safety goggles.
• Uncouple mortar hoses
• Uncouple sprayer unit. Clean air nozzle with
scraper.
392603/001 - 09/2004

6.2 Cleaning delivery hoses

• Insert sponge ball of appropriate diameter into de-
livery hose and connect this to cleaning valve on
water unit by means of reducing adaptor M35/
GEKA
• Open cleaning valve until sponge ball is forced out
of other end of hose.
• Repeat until water from front of hose runs clear (at
least once more)
Remnants of mortar must be disposed of in a site
waste container in accordance with regulations.
6.3 Cleaning pump mixer tube

• Tilt pump motor back; to do this, undo eccentric
fixing
• Remove mixer shaft and clean
• Insert cleaning device in mixing tube
• Tilt pump motor up again and fix with eccentric
fixing
• Set main switch to “1” and switch on machine us-
ing ON/OFF switch
• Leave motor running until cleaning device has
moved down to the bottom
• Switch motor off with ON/OFF switch and set
main switch to position “0”
• Replace cleaning device with the cleaned mixer
shaft, and run motor again briefly to rinse out
screw pump
• Rinse out pump end piece with spray nozzle
392603/001 - 09/2004

Cleaning 37
The opening at the water feed must remain clear.

The interchangeable flange on the pump end piece
does not have to be removed for cleaning.
6.4 Cleaning the water filters

The water filters in the water fitting must be removed
and cleaned every 4 - 6 weeks. To remove them, use
the special wrench provided.

7 Service and maintenance
7.1 Maintaining the mono-mix

For all maintenance operations on the machine,
pull out the mains supply plug. Even when the ma-
! chine is switched off, various parts still hold a
charge.
m-tec mathis technik gmbh cannot accept any re-
sponsibility for damage caused by failure to follow
the instructions for maintenance and lubrication.
The following operations must be performed regularly:
• Before each shift, the machine must be inspected
visually by the operator for any visible defects, es-
pecially at hose and cable connections
• Clean remnants of rendering material from mixing
tube, material hopper and mixer shaft
• Clean compressor air-filter
• Clean filter of water fittings pressure reducer
• Clean water input feed filter
• The back-geared motors are delivered in opera-
tional condition and require no maintenance for
8,000 hours of operation. After this, the gears
must be thoroughly cleaned with a suitable flush-
ing oil and inspected. Oil quantity for gear system:
200 ccs.
As filling grease for the mixer motor we recommend
Esso S420 soft grease: filling capacity 330 cc.
Should this type of grease be unavailable, one of the lu-
bricants given in chap. 6.2 may be used.
392603/001 - 09/2004
Topping up with lubricants is not required; overfilling

can lead to unacceptable overheating. We strongly ad-

Service and maintenance 39
vise against mixing lubricants. This can involve a risk of

decomposition of the lubricant.
When disposing of used oils, greases and cleaning
agents the relevant regulations for the protection of
the environment must be observed.
7.2 Table of equivalent lubricants

Should the recommended grease be unavailable, one
of the following lubricants may be used. Please take
note that:
• Transmission must be thoroughly cleaned before
new lubricant is put in
• Different lubricants may not be mixed
