Except for practitioners in the construction industry, few people in other industries know about it. Concrete transfer pump is actually a mechanical device that uses pressure to continuously transport concrete along pipelines, mainly used in building, bridge, and tunnel construction. It is mainly composed of a pump body and a conveying pipe, divided into a gate valve concrete conveying pump and an S-valve concrete conveying pump. In addition, by installing the pump body on the car chassis and equipping it with a stretchable or foldable fabric rod, a pump truck is formed. As civil engineering practitioners, we generally do not talk about concrete pumps. But he is divided into two types, sky pump and ground pump. Sky pump, also known as arm pump, has two types: including mixing function and not including mixing function;
A ground pump, also known as a trailer pump, cannot walk independently due to the lack of a car chassis. However, it has tires that can be towed to the work site by a tractor.
In addition to the classification of sky pumps and ground pumps, concrete delivery pumps can also be classified into various types based on their power category and structural form. According to their power type, they can be divided into electric concrete delivery pumps and diesel powered concrete delivery pumps. According to structural form, it can be divided into piston type, extrusion type, and water pressure diaphragm type. Early concrete pumps only had the simple ability to pump concrete. Later, with continuous development, concrete conveying pumps have a reverse pump function, which is conducive to timely elimination of pipe blockage faults and can be stopped for a short period of time to wait for materials. In addition, advanced S-pipe distribution valves are used, which can automatically compensate for wear clearances and have good sealing performance. At the same time, the optimized design of the hopper is easy to clean and has better suction performance. In addition, the concrete delivery pump also has remote control function, making operation safer and more convenient. The most typical example is the sky pump, which is often operated remotely by the operator standing at the pouring site.
