Abstract
A cementitious slurry mixing and dispensing system includes a slurry mixer that agitates and forms aqueous cementitious slurry, a discharge conduit in communication with the mixer and forming an interior surface defining a slurry flow path to convey the slurry therethrough to an outlet, a distribution mat disposed proximally to the outlet, a vibrating plate supporting the distribution mat, an overhead bracing system from which the vibrating plate is suspended, and a plurality of support members coupled between the overhead bracing system and the vibrating plate. The vibrating plate is adapted to impart vibrational forces on the distribution mat to promote movement of the aqueous slurry. Each support member includes a rod, a hollow coupling member, and at least one resilient bushing assembly adapted to dampen the vibrational forces exerted by the vibrating plate, thereby isolating the rod and the overhead bracing system from the vibrational forces.
