The Dry Mix Shotcrete Machine (cnmc Model E3) is an electric-powered machine designed to spray dry-mix concrete (shotcrete) for construction, repair and finishing applications. It feeds dry material to a nozzle where compressed air projects and pneumatically mixes it with water at the nozzle for application.
Key specs: maximum conveying distance 20 m, maximum aggregate size 1 mm, hose inner diameter 2 mm, air consumption listed as 0.5 (confirm units with supplier), power 7 kW, voltage 380 V, weight 850 kg, brand cnmc, model E3.
The machine can convey material up to 20 meters from the unit to the nozzle. This limits how far the hose can reasonably run on a job—longer runs may require repositioning the unit or using boosters.
It is specified for a maximum aggregate size of 1 mm, so it is best suited for fine mortars and small aggregates rather than coarse gravel or large aggregate mixes.
The machine uses a 7 kW electric motor and is rated for 380 V. Ensure your site electrical supply matches this requirement and that appropriate protection and grounding are provided.
The unit weighs 850 kg. It has a compact design for transport, but due to its weight you should use appropriate lifting equipment (forklift or crane) and follow the manufacturer’s recommended lifting points and transport procedures.
The specification lists air consumption as 0.5 (unit not specified). Before purchasing, confirm the exact unit (typically m³/min or m³/h) with the supplier and size an air compressor that meets or exceeds that continuous demand plus a safety margin.
It is ideal for fine mortar shotcrete applications such as structure repair and reinforcement, pile cutting and installation, road and tunnel repair, and decorative concrete finishes where small aggregate sizes are used.
Advantages include high operating efficiency, easy operation, compact and transportable design, reliable electric motor drive, and suitability for fine-mortar shotcrete tasks.
Dry-mix shotcrete feeds dry material to the nozzle and water is added at the nozzle; this offers better control for repairs and overhead work. Wet-mix shotcrete mixes water and cement before pumping, which is typically used for larger-volume work.
Daily cleaning of hopper, feed and hose after use, inspection of hose and nozzle wear parts, lubrication of moving parts as per manual, and periodic checking of electrical connections and motor. Replace worn liners and seals promptly.
Operators should be trained in dry-mix shotcrete techniques, machine setup, and nozzle control. Use appropriate PPE (respiratory protection, eye protection, hearing protection, gloves), ensure proper ventilation for enclosed spaces, and follow electrical and lifting safety procedures.
Common accessories and wear parts typically include hoses, nozzles, nozzle liners, feed screws, seals and electrical components. Check with the cnmc dealer for available spare parts and recommended consumables for Model E3.
Yes, the electric motor and compact design make it suitable for indoor and tunnel work, but you must ensure adequate ventilation and dust control when spraying dry material and comply with local safety regulations.
Warranty terms and after-sales support vary by seller and region. Contact the cnmc authorized dealer or supplier for specific warranty coverage, service plans, installation support and recommended maintenance schedules for Model E3.
