2024 is all about RITMO for PFT as they celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. In 2004 PFT introduced the first 230 volt mixing pump PFT RITMO to the market with a bang. The RITMO was an innovative, small all-rounder suitable for countless applications, and it continues to be to this day.
Best known for being a handy one-person mixing pump and having a 230V connection, the PFT RITMO has been winning over plasterers and painters far and wide over the last 20 years.
Compared to the “large” PFT G 4, the compact one-man machine has two key advantages:
- its size – it can be easily transported in any van or estate car
- 230 volt connection, despite the 1.5 kW geared motor, the mixing pump offers countless applications for spraying and applying materials for a grain size up to 3 mm.
In other words, even with the AC supply from a common household plug socket, the PFT RITMO is as powerful as a larger machine.
Here are 5 reasons why we love the RITMO:
R ENOVATION – Effortless renovation of old buildings with 230 volts AC!
I SOLATION – Beautifying upgrading or adapting to different cleaning strengths – the RITMO overcomes every challenge.
T RANSPORT – Our active contribution to power saving – easily disassembled into single modules.
M ODERNISATION – Time is precious. The RITMO can help you to save time and achieve perfect results, helping you to modernise how you work.
O NE-MAN – the one-person mixing pump that you can operate and transport alone.
Below is a list of the various RITMO models on offer:
The starter model:
PFT RITMO L Smart
No more tedious manual mixing with a whisker, the smallest addition to the RITMO family, the Ritmo L Smart does the job. Ideal for small to medium sized construction projects and as a starter model.
The intelligent small machine suits renovation and modernization work and makes construction sites smarter. Small, lightweight, energy-saving and easy to achieve professional results.
Depending on the version, the PFT RITMO L smart is available with integrated water pump or with vibrator and accessories. A well thought-out system, the Ritmo L Smart is flexible in detail, like all machines in the series.
The all-rounder for every challenge:
PFT RITMO L Plus
When a plasterer requires a plastering machine for small domestic jobs, one-off new builds, extensions or they are simply a small gang of 2 on a building site it will always be the Ritmo L Plus we recommend.
The PFT Ritmo L Plus is a small mixing pump weighing only 125 kg. Being only just over a meter tall it takes up no more room than an electric cement mixer on its stand and is easily transported in an estate car. This plastering machine has a built-in air compressor that is more than suitable to use with all the jobs that a plastering machine makes more productive.
- Plugs directly into the mains power 230 Volt.
- Compact design – easy to transport and maintain.
- Mix 1x bag per minute.
Available in B4-2 (14 litres/min) or Slimline version (20 litres/min). Optional extra to order with both versions is the DSR (digital water flow meter and low material sensor). The impressive low material sensor stops the machine automatically when running low on powder, ideal to prevent problems with unattended machines.
The strong one:
RITMO XL
The largest of the RITMO family, the PFT RITMO XL is available either in the “400 volt three-phase” or “230/400 volt alternating current” version or as a combination in the “230/400 volt switchable” version.
The powerful mixing pump is all about more power, stronger pump units and more processing options. The RITMO XL offers greater flexibility: today adhesive and reinforcing mortar in 230 volt mode, tomorrow flow screed up to 60 l/min in 400-volt mode. The result of this is the large machine can be fed via a PFT SILOMAT conveyor system by means of an injection hood and an additional extension hopper.
Everything is possible with RITMO!
All machines in the RITMO series are designed to be easy to transport and easy to disassemble.
The continuously operating mixing pumps are suitable for pumpable dry mortars as well as for paste-like compounds.
The inclined material container slides material down perfectly and sits at a user-friendly filling height.
Flexibility is a top priority for the RITMOs: Depending on site requirements, the mixing and pumping performance can be varied by a simple pump change. The complete RITMO family covers a wide range of applications with materials up to 8 mm grain size.
PFT RITMO machines are used all over the world. Whether it is a renovation in Berlin, application of floor levelling compounds in Italy, filling plaster in Australia, a modernization in Turkey, fire-resistant mortar in Algeria or frame casting in Cyprus – PFT RITMO offers a wide range of potential applications… and has been doing so for 20 years!
