for future reference ( EN 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 (98/37/EC) im-
portant information on construction site procedures, installation, op-
eration, 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 the workplace (use of safety
footwear and suitable clothing, helmets, safety harnesses, in-
stallation of railings around open spaces, etc.).
- Make sure that all signs are legible.
- Never make any modifications to the metal struc-
ture or mortar mixer 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

1. TECHNICAL DATA

Table 1 provides the technical specifications of the plastering
machine, with reference to figure 1.
2. DESIGN STANDARDS
The plastering machines have been designed and constructed
according to the standards specified in table 1.
3. NOISE EMISSION LEVEL
Table 1 shows the sound pressure levels of the plastering
machine measured at the ear of the operator (LpA at 1 m - 98/37/
CE) and noise emission levels in the environment (power LWA)
measured according to EN ISO 3744 (2000/14/CE).
4. DESCRIPTION OF PLASTERING MACHINE
OPERATION
- THE CAM SCREW plastering machine is designed
for use in building sites, for pumping or spraying tradi-
tional mortars, pre-mixed mortars, fibre-reinforced and
refractory mortars, concrete castings, fire-resistant
materials, self-levelling layers and controlled pressure
consolidation injections.
4.1 DESCRIPTION OF PLASTERING MACHINE (see fig.1)
The STEP 120 plastering machine is available in the versions
3-phase 400V/50Hz (2-speed) and single phase 230V/50Hz
(with variable flow rate.
It comprises a frame (ref.1) fixed onto an axle with wheels
(ref.3), which supports a hopper (ref.2) with vibrating screen
(ref.9) or optional grid (ref.10), an electrical panel (ref.5), a
gearmotor (ref.7), which, by means of a mixer activates a cam
screw pump (ref.4) that conveys the material via a rubber
hose to the jet .
If the material is sprayed, air is also delivered to the jet by
means of a compressor (ref.6) housed inside one of the cabin
doors (ref.8). The plastering machine can also be equipped
with a towing attachment kit comprising a height-adjustable

tiller (ref.11) plus drive lights (rif.13) for road transport
(applicable only in countries where towing is admitted).
The mortar mixer can be controlled by means of: pneumatic
control or electrical via cable (control-optional).
On the single phase version the flow rate is controlled by
means of the buttons (+) and (-) on the control panel.
The flow rate is shown on the electrical panel display.
STEP 120 can also be fitted with a planetary mixer (optional)
(ref.12) to enable rapid and efficient mixing of pre-mixed and
traditional mortars, thereby creating an autonomous integrated
mixing and pumping unit ).
4.2 DESCRIPTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS REQUIRED
FOR THE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
STEP 120 is the ideal plastering machine for building specialists
and businesses, thanks to the high maximum material flow rate,
the large pumping distance and high level of maximum transport-
able particle size. The significantly large hopper is fitted with a
vibrating screen with a contained loading height to make for
easy loading with normal cement mixers.

grid as both are equipped with a safety sensor.
It must be used when the material is to be mixed on site with
collection of aggregate from a loose storage deposit: in this
case some aggregate may have a larger particle size than
admissible values and other undesired objects, which could
obstruct the spray outlet or cause premature wear of the stator.
It is positioned at the top of the hopper (ref.1) and below the
mixer (if present ref.2) and connected electrically by means of a
plug (ref. 3) to the machine electrical panel (ref.4), in which the
vibrator on/off controls are located.
Operation: after positioning and connecting the machine, and
before pouring the material into the hopper, set the main switch
to 1 (fig 6,7,ref1) to start up the vibrator. Pour in the required
material and on completion turn the switch to OFF, removing any
residue trapped in the screen.
