Concrete pumps is a mechanical device used to transport concrete from one place to another. It is widely used in construction projects, bridges, tunnels and other construction fields. According to different structures and working principles, concrete pumps can be divided into several main types.
First, common concrete pump include trailer pumps and boom pump. Trailer pumps connect the concrete pumping pipeline to the nozzle of the pump and use trailers or other mechanical equipment to move it. It is suitable for working in environments with complex terrain or small spaces. Boom pumps are equipped with long booms, and can accurately deliver concrete to various heights and positions on the construction site through a hydraulic system. It is particularly suitable for high-rise building construction.
Secondly, according to the working principle, concrete pumps are mainly divided into piston pumps and screw pumps. Piston pumps use the reciprocating motion of the piston to push concrete, and can usually be divided into double piston pumps and single piston pumps. Double piston pumps can achieve continuous feeding when working, which improves work efficiency. Screw pumps transport concrete through the rotational motion of the screw, which is suitable for concrete with good fluidity and low viscosity. This type of pump has smooth movement and is suitable for long-distance concrete transportation
During the working process of a concrete pump, the viscous concrete material is first put into the pump through the hopper, and then the piston or screw starts to work, pushing the concrete into the pipeline, and then the concrete is sent to the target location through the pipeline. Concrete pump are usually used in conjunction with high-pressure pipelines during the pumping process to ensure that the concrete can overcome the effect of gravity and reach the construction site smoothly
In addition, concrete pump are equipped with a variety of safety devices and monitoring systems to ensure that the pressure, flow and pipeline status of the concrete can be monitored in time during the working process to prevent failures such as pipe blockage or leakage.
Whether it is large-scale construction or small civil engineering, the use of concrete pump can significantly improve construction efficiency and reduce the intensity of manual work. With the development of science and technology, concrete pump are also constantly updated to provide more efficient and safer construction solutions. Such development not only improves the construction quality of the project, but also shortens the construction period, and has made positive contributions to the modernization of the construction industry.
