Concrete boom pump is equipment that is used on projects that need concrete that is in a higher altitude. The equipment is sometimes referred to as a concrete pump truck. This equipment is majorly used in various areas like airport, tunnel, beam field, rail site, and among other areas. This machine is composed of various systems that help it to work well. It is installed with a boom system, electric system, concrete pump system, and the hydraulic system.It also has the chassis engine that helps in proving of power and the control of the overhead concrete pump boom when it is working.The way in which this chassis engine works determines a lot on the general performance of the pump.
The distinction of the concrete boom pump
- In terms of the height of the pump frame, it is divided into a long frame that measures 32-50 m. there is a short boom frame that measures 14-29 m. the last section is the ultra-long arm frame that can be up to 64 m long.
- The pump can have 2 – 5 arms on it. This will help in the performance of the pump and thus making it efficient.
- In terms of theoretical output is that it is divided onto small capacity, medium capacity and large capacity that measures 45-50 m3/h, 91-130 m3/h and 151-205 m3/h respectively.
The features of the concrete boom pump
- The pump has combined various technologies and it makes it be more reliable, safe, durable and economical in terms of resource use.
- The chassis power supply has adopted Sino truck among other brands and this makes it be strong in its carrying capacity and the dynamic performance. This all is done well as the pump uses low fuel.
- The collocations of the machine are reasonable with the chassis system, control system, pumping system( sistema de bomba hormigon ), hydraulic system, and power system.
- The pumps emission system is made in a way it meets the international requirement because it has no noise, and can be repaired easily whenever its breakdown.
- The pump is also equipped with the pressure switch. This switch is aimed at ensuring that the concrete pump(maquina para bombear concreto) has the long delivery of the long distances that it works.
- It has the adjustable and flexible arms, legs that occupy a little space and chassis that moves easily.
Advantages of concrete boom pump
- Its mobility is good-the movements of its arms when working is very easy and thus it has no difficulties.
- The pump is very easy to enter the workplace and concentrate on its working
- It’s working rate is high, pumps very fast and it is generally convenient to any working area.
- It is very easy to operate the machine because it has an automatic control system. This makes the machine very easy to operate using the remote control that is given to the pump.
The points to pay attention to in the concrete boom pump
- It requires a place that is somehow large for its occupation.
- It demands goods of high quality on the concrete side.
The boom system in the boom pressure concrete pump
The placing boom and turret are the two main constituents of the boom system.The main purpose of the boom system is to move and place the concrete on the required area. To add on that it also gives support to the whole pump so that it can have stability when working.
The compositions of the placing boom include hydraulic cylinder, boom, connections and conveying pipe( tubo de transporte ). On the other hand, the turret consists of the rotary mechanism, rotary table, supporting legs, and the fixer tower.
Application and safety precautions when using concrete boom pump
- Never should you connect pipes after the horse at the end of the trailer is attached to the boom pump
- The lifting of the heavy loads should not be done by using the pump arms.
- When operating the pump always wear safety clothes and helmets. At all times you need to comply with the safety regulations of the machine.
- Completely close the arms and the legs whenever you are moving the pump.
I am sure you have learned something on the concrete pump. Aimix group is one of the leading manufacturers of these pumps. With them, they are making technological changes in order to meet the set standards and also improve machine productivity.
