  • Patent number: 12420308
    Abstract: A spray rig for lining an interior surface of a pipe with a material. The spray rig includes a base, a motor, and a spray head. The spray head includes a mating component, a mixing chamber, a feed tube, an agitator, and a spray deflector. The mating component removably couples the spray head to the motor. The mixing chamber extends from the mating component and includes a plurality of slots. The feed tube extends from the mixing chamber and is configured to deliver the material to the mixing chamber. The motor is operable to rotate the agitator about an agitator axis to mix the material and to direct the material through the plurality of slots. The spray deflector is coupled to the agitator for rotation with the agitator and is configured to redirect the material from the mixing chamber and onto the interior surface of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 10913177
    Abstract: A method of lining a pipe with a lining mixture formed from a dry component and a liquid is discussed. The method includes placing the dry component in a dry component surface container located above ground, conveying the dry component from the dry component surface container to a dry component subterranean supply container located underground, conveying the dry component from the dry component subterranean supply container to a mixer located underground, mixing the dry component with the liquid to form the lining mixture, and applying the lining mixture to the pipe with a mixture applicator.
