Useful Information and Knowledge About Concrete Pump
Concrete pump is a kind of concrete transport machinery. By horizontal or vertical pipeline continuous conveyor it complete work and it is widely used to city construction, roads, bridges, water conservancy, electricity, energy and other concrete construction. It can enhance the work efficiency of nearly ten times compared to the traditional transport equipment.
The truck mounted concrete pump is the concrete conveying equipment which connects concrete pump and distributing device directly on the chassis of the automobile. It can work without additional laying concrete pipeline which has good maneuverability, flexible fabric, convenient use. It is suitable for large scale infrastructure projects or scattering engineering concrete delivery while its structure is relatively complex.
Main characteristics of concrete pump
1. High degree of mechanization.
2. Less labor.
3. Simple construction organization.
4. Continuous high efficiency, fast progress work.
5. Stable concrete quality with no segregation and small slump loss.
6. Safety operation.
7. Strong adaptability and wide operating range.
8. Small pollution to the environment.
Main classifications of concrete pump
1. According to the method of driving, concrete pump can be divided into piston type concrete pump and extrusion type concrete pump and at present we often use piston type concrete pump.
2. According to the moving style concrete pump is divided into stationary concrete pump, concrete trailer pump and truck mounted concrete pump. The concrete trailer pump and truck mounted concrete pump are often used in construction sites.
3. According to the different valve forms, concrete pump is divided into rotary valve type, gate valve type and s tube valve type. Gate valve type and s tube valve type are currently used.
