Concrete pump delivery refers to the conveying operation of concrete pumps. It is a concrete supply method that uses various types of concrete pumps to continuously deliver concrete to the pouring points through horizontal or vertical pipelines. This method is highly efficient, low loss, and can flexibly provide continuous and stable concrete building materials for various scales of construction projects. It is a commonly used method for supplying concrete in modern construction projects.
Entire Process Of Concrete Pump Delivery
The delivery operation of concrete pump is a complex and delicate process, involving multiple links and precautions.
Preparation Of Concrete Pump Delivery
- Check Equipment
Ensure that the concrete delivering pump and its various components are in good condition,without damage or abnormalities.
Check if the main parts (electrical system, hydraulic system, transmission system, etc.) are working properly.
Check whether the conveying pipeline is firmly connected, without leakage or damage.
- Configure Concrete
According to the construction requirements, prepare concrete with appropriate grades and mix proportions.
Ensure that there are no large particle impurities in the concrete to avoid affecting the conveying effect.
- Set Up Venue
Choose a flat and solid site to place the concrete delivery pump and ensure equipment stability.
Stay away from obstacles such as high-voltage lines to ensure construction safety.
Concrete Pump Delivery Process
- Start device
Start the concrete pump according to the operating specifications.
Run it without load for a period, and check if the equipment is running normally.
- Start Delivering
Pour the finished concrete into the hopper, ensuring that the amount of concrete in the hopper is moderate and avoiding too much ( overflow from the hopper) or too little ( cannot submerge the mixing shaft and blades.)
Operate the control panel to start delivering concrete. During the conveying process, it is necessary to observe the operation of the equipment and the concrete delivery at all time.
- Adjust The Conveying Speed
Adjust the displacement of the main oil pump according to the pumping height and concrete grade to determine the maximum pumping speed.
The pumping speed should be slow at first and then fast, gradually accelerating to ensure a smooth concrete delivering process.
- Handling Abnormal Situations
During the transportation process, if the pipeline is blocked or the equipment is abnormal, the transportation should be stopped immediately, and inspection and maintenance should be carried out.
If the concrete supply is not timely, it is better to reduce the pumping speed rather than maintain continuous pumping. But the slow pumping speed cannot be less than the allowable value from mixing to pouring of concrete.
Cleaning And Maintenance After Delivering Operation
- Cleaning pipelines and Equipment
After the delivery is completed, the pumping pipeline and concrete pump should be cleaned immediately to prevent concrete residue from causing blockage or damage to the equipment.
When cleaning, clean water or compressed air can be used for rinsing, but safety should be taken into account to avoid rinsing people or equipment.
- Inspection And Maintenance
Conduct an comprehensive inspection of the concrete delivery pump and its various components to ensure that there is no damage or abnormality.
Do necessary maintenance and upkeep on the equipment, such as lubrication, fastening, etc.
- Storage Equipment
Store the concrete transfer pump in a dry, ventilated, and not corrosive environment. If not used for a long time, the equipment should be started and operated regularly to maintain its performance.
Precaution
- Safe Operation
Operators should be familiar with the usage method and precautions of concrete pumps, and strictly follow the operating specifications for operation.
During the concrete pump delivery process, attention should be paid to observing the operation of the equipment and the transportation of concrete, in order to promptly detect and handle any abnormal situations.
- Quality Control
Ensure that the mix proportion and grade of concrete meet the requirements to avoid affecting the construction quality.
During the delivery process, the slump and uniformity of the concrete should be checked at all times to ensure the quality of the concrete.
- Environmental protection
During the pump delivery process, attention should be paid to controlling noise and dust pollution to reduce the impact on the surrounding environment.
When cleaning equipment and pipelines, attention should be paid to conserving water and protecting the environment.
