Concrete pumps are devices that are used to transfer freshly mixed concrete in liquid form to locations on construction sites where the product is needed. These devices use valve systems along with the “basic principles” of hydraulics.
When concrete is needed, the mixing truck will first mix the concrete in a rotating drum. The truck will then pour the concrete in liquid form into the hopper, which will continue to mix and churn the concrete to make sure it does not solidify. The concrete pump in Peru(venta de bomba de concreto en perú) then serves the purpose of sucking the concrete out of the hopper, using a valve-system to the location where it is required.
The internal workings of a hydraulic twin-cylinder concrete pump usually include 2 parallel cylinders. The cylinders feature drive pistons that move the cylinders in an opposite direction and back-and-forth. The 1st cylinder, which also goes by the name of a “material cylinder” is designed to pull the concrete out the hopper. The 2nd cylinder, also known as a “discharge cylinder” will push the liquid concrete out to a location where it’s needed.
These 2 pistons work together, alternately pushing out and pulling in the liquid concrete. The hydraulic flow that is created by this continuous flow of liquid concrete is the reason why these 2 cylinders alternate back-and-forth. The continuous flow will also stop the liquid concrete from becoming solid.
Concrete Pump Types
Concrete pumps fall under boom pumps or line pumps.
#1 Line Pumps
The line pumps are designed to pump(bombas para hormigon venta) the concrete at around ground level in hoses until the concrete has reached its destination. These hoses provide flexibility allowing the hose to snake around houses and down alleys where trucks cannot gain access.
Examples of line pumps include the following:
– Stationary Pumps
– Truck-Mounted Static Pumps
– Truck Mixer Pump
#2 Boom Pumps
Boom pumps are designed to extend above the ground (through the air) to pump the liquid concrete to where it is needed. It features a remote-controlled, flexible, long arm that includes articulated sections. The arm on a boom pump extends in a similar way to a crane.
Boom pumps of Aimix are often useful for areas that are hard-to-reach where line pumps can’t reach. This can include an upper floor of a high-rise building or apartment complex. They are also used for reaching into yards or over houses when constructing garden features or swimming pools.
When not in use, the boom folds up neatly into segments where it is stored on the truck until it is needed again. The boom pump is also useful since it does not require having to use extra hoses. These concrete high-rise boom pumps work efficiently and are able to reach any areas within the reach of the boom. This user-friendly feature is what makes these boom pumps popular and versatile on many construction sites. The boom pumps have articulated sections that come in various folding configurations. These include Roll-and-Fold, Z and ZZ, and RZ. The boom pumps are drivable truck-mounted pumps that feature 4,5, or 6 articulated sections that are designed for vertical and horizontal reach.
