REED LOVA & SOVA
Gunite Machines
Get the right dry-mix shotcrete setup for your work. Backed by a dealer who runs the equipment, answers the phone, and helps keep your crew moving.
We run the equipment we sell
A gunite machine is one part of the setup.
The feed bowl, compressor, hose, nozzle, and material all need to work together. Tell us what you spray, how far the hose runs, and what compressor you have. We’ll help you put together a REED package that fits your crew and your jobs.
Premier Gunite LLC – Equipment supplies REED gunite machines, replacement parts, hoses, and service from Jim Falls, Wisconsin. Our contractor experience gives you someone to talk to about setup and real jobsite questions after the sale.
LOVA or SOVA: start with your application.
Larger production applications
REED LOVA
Consider LOVA for pool construction, larger concrete repairs, and infrastructure work. Interchangeable bowls let the same machine support different materials and delivery setups.
- Published configurations: 1–2 inch hose I.D.
- Maximum listed output: up to 12 yd³/hr.
- LOVA 8: 5 hp air motor; LOVA 16: 9 hp.
- Approximate weight: 635 lb / 699 lb.
Compact repair & detail work
REED SOVA
Consider SOVA for smaller repairs, refractory work, and rockscaping where a compact machine and controlled material delivery suit the job.
- Published configurations: 1–1½ inch hose I.D.
- Maximum listed output: up to 9 yd³/hr.
- 5 hp air motor.
- Approximate weight: 455 lb.

Compare the published specifications.
| Specification | LOVA | SOVA |
|---|---|---|
| Listed maximum outputs by configuration | 2, 5, 6, 8 or 12 yd³/hr | 2, 4, 6 or 9 yd³/hr |
| Maximum aggregate across listed configurations | Up to ⅝ inch | Up to ⅜ inch |
| Recommended compressor capacity at 100 psi | LOVA 8: 210–600 cfm LOVA 16: 300–750 cfm | 210–375 cfm |
| Electric-drive counterpart | LOHE | SOVE |
Ranges cover multiple feed-bowl configurations. Each hose size, aggregate limit, output, and air requirement must be matched as a complete configuration. REED’s sheets note that material, air supply, feed bowl, and nozzleman capability affect results. The 100 psi figure is the basis for compressor sizing, not a universal nozzle-pressure setting. Confirm current specifications when quoting.
Match the air supply before you buy.
Send us your compressor model, its rated cfm at the required pressure, your material information, and the proposed hose length. We’ll help check the package before you commit.
LOVA 8 and LOVA 16 share the same published output limits by bowl configuration. The 16’s higher motor power is useful for demanding materials and longer conveying runs; it also needs more air. More motor power does not automatically mean more rated yardage.
How dry-mix gunite works.
A rotating feed bowl meters dry material into compressed air. Air carries it through the hose; water is added at the nozzle before placement.
Electric-drive LOHE and SOVE models use electricity to turn the bowl. They still need compressed air to convey material. Ask us to review power and air requirements for your application.

LOVA & SOVA questions
How much does a REED LOVA or SOVA cost?
Contact Premier Gunite for a current quote. Price depends on the machine, feed bowl, drive, hose and nozzle package, accessories, and freight. We’ll confirm availability and lead time with your quote.
Which machine should I choose?
Start with your material, production target, access, and air supply. LOVA generally suits larger production work; SOVA offers a lighter, compact setup for smaller applications. We’ll help compare the configurations for your work.
Can I use my existing compressor?
Possibly. Send the compressor’s specifications and your intended machine configuration. Air capacity must suit the complete setup; hose length and conditions also affect performance.
Do you sell hoses and replacement parts?
Yes. We supply gunite hoses and machine parts. Send your machine model, serial number, and a photo or part number so we can identify the right components.
Do you help with training and service?
Yes. Premier Gunite offers free equipment training, onsite support, shop service, and 24/7 phone support. Call to discuss what your crew needs.
