The ICTUS M500 series is a portable and lightweight robustly constructed grout pump, mainly used for full column grouting as in cable anchoring and for spraying materials, among many other applications. Combining the air motor with different riser-tube assemblies (fluid sections) will adapt the pump to suit a particular need.
All the pumps are equipped with a VFO lubricator/filter to ensure clean lubricating air operates the pump. The riser tube is fitted with a clamp and allows removal of the tube for cleaning purposes without the need of special tools.
The pump comes with hoses and fittings to suite the application. The pumps can handle a variety of mixes, from a thin liquid to a viscous grout (1:3 cement ratio.) Other models can be manufactured to meet special needs (i.e. coal mining.)
Air Supply
The ICTUS M500 Grout Pump typically requires an air supply of 2.5 bar (36 psi) minimum and 8.0 bar (116 psi) maximum for proper operation. It’s maximum working pressure is 60 bar (870 psi.) The pump provides a maximum delivery rate of 26 liters per minute (7 gpm.)

• Air-operated motor with all parts sited internally
• Easy to maintain
Technical Specifications
The ICTUS M500 Series pump is a reciprocating air motor connected directly to a pump piston with a check valve. The graph detailed below in Figure 1 gives some indication of the capability of the pump. The graphical information may vary depending on air pressure, volume and fluctuation. This is also co-dependent on the type of mix, state of the delivery hose, and the condition of the pump itself.
Variable Results
0.33 Water: Cement Ratio
Vertical holes 20 metres (66ft) with full hole grouting (depending on underground conditions 10-30 holes can be completed per shift (1.8 – 2.5 m or 6 – 8 ft.) long holes up to 200 holes per shift.)
For spraying rock sealing or ground consolidation materials an average of 80 to 110 m (265 Sq. Ft.) per 6 hour shift can be achieved, with double that for thin materials
Thickness can be controlled from 1mm for thin materials and 10 mm (⅜ in.) in a single pass. The materials which can be handled, range from pure cements to fibrous mixes and sands up to 1.5mm without additives and minus 4mm with plasticizers.
Coarser mixes such as minus 6 mm (¼ in.) crusher can require the use of the MK60 Pump and the inclusion of fly ash in the mix.
