Delivery Distance of Concrete Pumps
Modern construction can not avoid using concrete pumps any more. No matter you are building a tall trading center with an underground parking lot, a bridge across a wide river or a common living building, the pumps play an essential role in keeping smooth development of the construction project. If not for them construction efficiency would plunge in a shocking way. During choosing suitable pumps most buyers pay special attention to two basic parameters: delivery distance and delivery amount, which have a lot to do with working efficiency and ability.
Generally speaking, trailer concrete pumps deliver concrete further than concrete pump trucks. The most powerful of the former can send ready concrete as far as 300 meters away while that of the latter only less than 60 meters. That does not mean, however, it’s not necessary to develop pump trucks any more. They beat trailer pumps in their high adaptability to flexible construction environment like distant or high delivery of concrete. As for delivery amount large pumps can reach 60 to 80 metric meters per hour while small ones around 40m3 per hour.
In most cases delivery distance can be improved by increasing motor power. Most concrete pumps are equipped with plunger pumps of stable powers. The motor power remains the same during operation, in which case the delivery amount will go down automatically if delivery distance goes up and vice versa. Therefore, if longer delivery distance is wanted with the same delivery amount , the only means is to increase motor power.
