The classification of concrete pumps

Besides of concrete batching plant and concrete mixer, concrete pump is an essential equipment of modern construction project. Different type of concrete pump has its own advantages and suitable for different usage. The classification of concrete pumps have many ways, mainly there are 4 method to classify the concrete pumps, let us talk about them one by one!

According to the drive methods, concrete pumps are classified to piston type and squeeze type, in addition, there are hydraulic diaphragm type, gas tank pump type and other forms. Most of the concrete pumps are piston type.
According to the transmission, the piston concrete pumps are divided into mechanical piston pump and hydraulic piston pump, at present most of concrete pumps are the hydraulic piston pump. The hydraulic piston pump can be divided into water hydraulic and oil hydraulic according to the difference of piston press media. At present, most if the hydraulic piston pumps are oil hydraulic type.
According to the ability of move-able, the concrete pumps are divided into stationary concrete pump, trailer concrete pump, concrete pump truck and truck-mounted concrete pump, among them the trailer concrete pump and concrete pump truck have more applications.
According to the form of directional valve, there are rotary valve, gate valve and S-shaped pipe valve and so on, in the current, gate valve and S-pipe valve concrete pump are used more than other type.
