A nozzle assembly includes a nozzle housing (86) defining an inner chamber (91) and a mixer (90) disposed within the inner chamber. The nozzle housing includes a nozzle housing and a nozzle orifice. The nozzle receive is configured to connect to a sprayer housing and to receive a first material, a second material, and air. The nozzle orifice is configured to spray a plural component material formed by a mixture of the first material and the second material. The mixer includes a shaft (92), an extension (94), an air channel, and inlet orifice formed in a first end of the shaft, and an outlet orifice formed between the air channel and a surface of the shaft. The extension defines a mixing channel extending between the shaft and the inner surface of the housing and the air channel is defined by an inner surface of the shaft and extends partially axially through the shaft.

There is provided an apparatus (100) for manufacturing a cementitious slurry comprising foam, the apparatus (100) comprising: a mixing chamber (101) for mixing a cementitious material and water to form a cementitious slurry, a channel (103) fluidly connected to the mixing chamber (101) at a first end (111), the channel (103) for receiving the cementitious slurry from the mixing chamber (101), the channel (103) extending from the first end (111) and terminating at a second end (112); the channel (103) comprising a foam inlet (106) for introducing foam into the channel (103); wherein the channel (103) comprises a mixing cross section, the mixing cross section comprising a first dimension and a second dimension; the first dimension perpendicular to the second dimension; the first dimension being longer than the second dimension; wherein the foam inlet (106) is configured to introduce foam into the channel (103) in a direction generally parallel to the second dimension. A channel (103) for a cementitious slurry and a method are also provided.

According to the present invention, there is provided an apparatus (100) for manufacturing a cementitious slurry comprising foam, the apparatus comprising: a mixing chamber (101) for mixing a cementitious material and water to form a cementitious slurry, a channel (103) fluidly connected to the mixing chamber (101) at a first end (111), the channel (103) for receiving a cementitious slurry from the mixing chamber (101). In the apparatus (100), the channel (103) extends from the first end (111) and terminates at at least one second end (112). The channel (103) comprises a first foam inlet (106) for introducing foam into the channel (103). The channel (103) further comprises a second foam inlet for introducing foam into the channel (103). The first foam inlet (106) and the second foam inlet are offset along the length of the channel (103). A method using the apparatus (100) is also described.

There is provided an apparatus (100) for manufacturing a cementitious slurry comprising foam, the apparatus (100) comprising: a mixing chamber (101) for mixing a cementitious material and water to form a cementitious slurry, a channel (103) fluidly connected to the mixing chamber (101) at a first end, the channel (103) for receiving the cementitious slurry from the mixing chamber (101), the channel (103) extending from the first end and terminating a second end; the channel (103) comprising a foam inlet (106) for introducing foam into the channel (103); wherein the portion of the channel (103) between the foam inlet (106) and the second end has a length from 400 mm to 1200 mm inclusive, wherein said foam inlet (106) is positioned such that the distance between said first end of said channel (103) and said foam inlet (106) is less than 25% of the distance between said first end of said channel (103) and said second end of said channel (103). A cementitious slurry channel (103) and a method of manufacturing a cementitious slurry are also provided.
