fr3dopyrox Posted December 7, 2023 Posted December 7, 2023 Hello fireworks people, Hello, I am thinking of buying a gang pump 6mm, do you think it is worth it? or should I buy a star plate in the same size or 8mm? Thanks for reading me , goodbye friends, peace…
cmjlab Posted December 7, 2023 Posted December 7, 2023 Do you have a link to the gang pump? To be honest I've never used one and don't know how they work or the benefit of one over a star plate. Id be curious to see one. Thanks.
Arthur Posted December 7, 2023 Posted December 7, 2023 A star plate is used in a big press, so without a big press it's necessary to use a star pump/gang pump. How many stars do you need? it's likely that you can make many sorts(colours) of stars in a pump in small quantities OR make many identical stars in a plate. Plates make many stars per pressing and eat up lots of compound.
fr3dopyrox Posted December 8, 2023 Author Posted December 8, 2023 Hello cmjlab, do you know zmuro ? he is on website and have website, I will to find pictures, you will see
cmjlab Posted December 8, 2023 Posted December 8, 2023 I have seen a website link for him somewhere, I will find it and check it out. Thanks. Arthur - so gang pumps just rely on a damper composition and hand pressure with a good binder? (Since they aren't getting the same compaction as with a star plate). If so, I wonder if they burn out quicker than a pumped star...... They must. I could use 1/2" hand pressure pressed comets to build a 3" shell potentially, since there is less comp and should burn quicker. Hmmm...... Thanks.
