Our stucco spraying tools are used to spray plaster, stucco, small scale shotcrete, papercrete, GFRC, earthen mixes and more. Stucco sprayers are used for traditional plastering and many alternative building methods. Stucco application with this hopper sprayer is efficient on traditional stucco, exterior stucco, straw bale, Earth bag, insulated panels, Surface Bonded Block and thin shell ferrocement. This mortar sprayer opens up the world of stucco application for small scale shotcrete, thinshell construction, LVSC (Low Velocity Sprayed Concrete) in structures like SCIPs (Structural Concrete Insulated Panels) and more. As a heavy texture sprayer, this tool is being used to spray popcorn texture using California Stucco. The range of this sprayer is from a heavy texture of 1/8″ up to 1″ thickness for structural layers. The stucco sprayer (plaster sprayer) is useful on a scale from stucco repair to a complete exterior stucco coating. The result is often as fast or faster than using a stucco pump. This plaster sprayer will save you time and money up front especially compared to the high cost of a stucco pump. Spraying stucco with the stucco sprayer is also much easier than with a plaster pump. The Tirolessa USA sprayer costs less than the accessory package of a stucco pump. If your crew is less than 6 and you are not plastering every day, our stucco/plaster tool is the right choice.The Stucco Sprayer Faster and easier than hand troweling! The Stucco Sprayer Costs much less than a stucco pump! The Stucco Sprayer Comes with two sizes of jets to match your compressor size! “I had two guys mixing my mortar, and they still couldn’t keep up with me using the bigger jets on the Tirolessa USA Stucco Sprayer. A four day job took me one day to complete. I’m really excited about using this tool on my next job.” -Joseph Armeni of Conneaut, OH We can help you learn how to spray stucco with our stucco tools. If you have any questions please email or call us. Whether it’s spraying plaster, needing guidance on mix design, stucco repair or stucco application we are here to help. We are very fortunate to have many friends in the concrete construction business. We can probably answer your questions or know who to refer you to. If you have many experienced plasterers working full time, a stucco pump is a good tool in addition to our sprayer. It is all about scaling the tools to match the job. If you are considering purchasing a stucco pump, shotcrete pump, or gunite rig, feel free to call us first and we can talk about the scale of your construction project. http://www.mortarsprayer.com/
