Gunite
Equipment
Dry gun equipment is totally different from the wet gun. The air needed to transport the concrete is at least four to six times greater than that needed for the wet gun system. For wet gunning, a pea rock or grout pump is usually utilized. Monolithic has updated and improved the small peristaltic pump in an effort to provide more affordable equipment for wet gunning. For house-size domes either system will work. But, for the novice, the wet gun is my recommendation. The dry gun does not have the capacity for large domes 50 feet in diameter and bigger. Dome Technology once had a five-man crew shotcrete 238 cubic yards of concrete in one day! They can routinely apply 100 plus cubic yards. This is well beyond the capacity of a dry gun system.
