Efficient mortar processing
Efficient mortar processing
Silo technology and big bags
Big bags and small silos with conveyor technology instead of bagged goods and compulsory mixers with wheelbarrows: this method allows mortar to be processed efficiently. The process saves transport time and labour and also ensures consistent mortar quality thanks to the automated mixing process. Thanks to the cooperation between StoCretec (Kriftel) and Inotec (Waldshut-Tiengen), there is a system of mortar, logistics and machine technology that is perfectly matched to construction site processes, enabling applications to relieve their construction crews and achieve higher area outputs.
Ready-mixed dry mortar in big bags reduces transport costs, eliminates the need to open and empty bags and also reduces the amount of waste.
Machine technology takes over the mixing and facilitates the installation of the mortar. This reduces physical strain and significantly increases the output. Machine mixing ensures the consistent quality of the mortar. To ensure that building materials, logistics and machine technology work together perfectly, StoCretec co-operates closely with the machine specialist Inotec as a mortar supplier. The easy-to-operate small silo inoCOMB Cabrio (including continuous mixer and feed pump), for example, is ideal for various repair mortars. StoCretec has intensively tested the application of StoCrete TG 203, TG 302, TG 104 and TG 108 mortars with the small silo. Depending on the mortar, a layer thickness of between 6 and 100 mm is possible in a single pass, with coverage per millimetre of layer thickness of between 2.0 and 2.1 kg/m². Inotec's all-round service is also worthwhile, especially for companies that are new to silo technology.
Proven mortar for typical cases of damage
The basic prerequisite for successful concrete repair is reliable, high-performance repair mortars that are optimised for the specific application. For example, "StoCrete TG 203" is formulated to restore the load bearing capacity and fire resistance of concrete structures. As a special structural mortar, it contributes to the load bearing capacity itself. It can be used both as a wet-mix sprayed mortar (SRM-A4) and by hand as RM-A4. StoCrete TG 203 also complies with class R4 in accordance with EN 1504, part 3 and is classified as non-combustible in accordance with MVV TB, as it fulfils building material class A2-s1-d0 in accordance with EN 13501-1 - including additional verification for 90 minutes of fire resistance. Thanks to the proof of suitability as an anode embedding mortar, the concrete repair is also ready for use for cathodic protection against corrosion. A general building inspectorate test certificate also confirms its suitability for LAU systems.
Another example: StoCrete TG 302 - a repair mortar for floors. The thixotropic, smoothable mortar can be applied while standing upright, which is easy on the knees and back, and can be easily compacted and smoothed using a smoothing rod or screed spreader. Compared to standard mortars for floors, this saves up to 30 per cent time. Because layer thicknesses of up to 100 millimetres are possible in a single work step, processing reliability is increased, as a second layer is generally not necessary and in many cases a bonding slurry can be dispensed with.

Mortar is supplied in big bags. The filling quantity of 1,000 kg corresponds to around 40 mortar bags of 25 kg each, which would otherwise be transported by hand.

StoCrete TG 302 can be pumped and is therefore particularly suitable for large industrial floorings.
