The manual is considered part of the machine and must be stored
for future reference ( EN ISO 12100-2 ) through to scrapping of the
machine itself. If the manual is lost or damaged, a replacement
copy can be ordered from the manufacturer.
The manual contains the EC declaration of conformity (2006-42/
EC) important information on construction site procedures, in-
stallation, operation, maintenance and requests for spare parts.
Nevertheless, the user must both have adequate experience
and knowledge of the machine prior to use: the user should be
trained by a person totally familiar with the operation and use of
this machine.
To guarantee complete safety of the operator, safe operation
and long life of equipment, follow the instructions in this manual
carefully, and observe all safety standards currently in force for
the prevention of accidents at work (use of safety footwear and
suitable clothing, helmets, gloves, goggles etc.).
- Make sure that all signs are legible.
- Never make any modifications to the metal structure or
plastering machine systems.
IMER INTERNATIONAL accepts no responsibility in the event
of failure to comply with laws governing the use of this type of
equipment, with particular reference to: improper use, incorrect
power supply, lack of maintenance, unauthorised modifications,
failure to comply, either wholly or partially, with the instructions
set out in this manual.
IMER INTERNATIONAL reserves the right to modify the cha-
racteristics of the plastering machine and/or contents of this
manual, without the obligation to update the previous machine
and/or manuals.
1. TECHNICAL DATA
Table 1 provides the technical specifications of the plastering
machine, with reference to figure 1.
2. DESIGN STANDARDS

to EN ISO 3744 (2000/14/CE).
4. DESCRIPTION OF PLASTERING MACHINE OPERATION
- The plastering machine is designed for use in building
sites, for mixing and pumping all mixed mortars declared as
compatible with this type of machine by the material manu-
facturers: gypsum based plasters, anhydrite based plasters,
lime/cement based plasters, external insulating mortar,
grouting mortar etc
4.1 PLASTERING MACHINE DESCRIPTION (Fig. 1)
The plastering machine comprises a wheeled frame (ref.1), which
supports a hopper (ref.2), complete with a motor unit (ref. 3), a grid
(ref. 4) and a material outfeed unit (ref.5). a water circuit (ref.6)
complete with self-priming pump (ref.7); an electrical panel (ref.8);
a diaphragm compressor (ref.9) complete with air unit (ref.10);
a scraper with rod (ref.11) and a mixer inside the hopper (see
exploded drawing KOINE 3).
The pre-mixed dry material is poured in to the hopper,
in which the mixer moves the material by means of a gearmotor.
The material is mixed with the water delivered by the water circuit,
which in turn receives water from the mains supply or a specific
container.
The water flow rate is regulated by means of a micrometric valve

and displayed via a flow meter (see exploded drawing WATER
CIRCUIT page18).
The mixer drives a helical rotor pump which conveys the material
via a rubber hose to the spray jet. The spray jet is connected
both to the material hose and an air hose. The air is delivered
by the compressor to the spray jet for application on the parts to
be plastered.
5. OPERATION SAFETY
- Before using the plastering machine, ensure that it is
fitted with all safety devices.
- Never insert parts of the body and/or tools in the hopper
or mixing chamber during operation.
All current standards governing accident prevention and safety
devices must be observed in the workplace.
Take care when handling sacks of material to avoid dispersion of
dust with inhalation of the latter; if this is not possible, masks must
be worn to protect the mouth and nose.
- Never use the machine in environments subject to the
risk of explosions, fire or underground.
The mortar mixer is not equipped with a lighting system and
therefore the workplace must be fitted with adequate lighting.
The power lines must be laid to prevent any possible damage.
Never place the plastering machine on electric power cables.
Ensure that the electrical connection is protected against the risk
of water penetration in connectors. Use exclusively connectors
and couplings equipped with water spray protection.
- Never use inadequate or provisional electric lines: if in doubt
consult specialist personnel for assistance.
- Repairs to the electrical circuit must be performed exclusively by
specialised personnel. Disconnect the machine from the power
supply before performing maintenance or repairs.
-Avoid contact of electric wires with movable and/or moving parts of
the machine to avoid injury from contact with live metal parts.
6. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The plastering machine Koine 3 is constructed according to standard
EN 60204-1, with protection against water sprays and protection
against overload and power failure.
The plastering machine must be connected to the earthing circuit.
