Concrete pumps are extremely reliable and efficient means of pouring liquid concrete. The speed and ease of these pumps ensure the best results. There are many varied pumps of this type that one can pick from, and these can satisfy the requirements of any industrial and residential project. This pump is necessary for any type of project, whether small or big, which involves the production as well as the distribution of concrete. Know about some of the common concrete pumping systems that are used in renovation and construction projects today.

Different Types of Concrete Pumping Systems

Trailer Pumps

Such kinds of concrete pumps are easily operable and are quite popular. It is not expensive to maintain them, and these can be used to mix firm concrete material with no damage caused to the equipment. This can lead to an easy and uniform concrete material flow. It is convenient to clean up the material as well.

Trailer pumps are quite popular, given that these are reliable. You can find lots of options available with trailer pump, like:

·         Chemical additive pump.

·         Hydraulic rear outriggers.

·         Hydraulic agitator / re-mixer.

Mud jacking Pump

This kind of concrete pumping system has a wired remote control, injection nozzle and pumping hose. Often, it is used for projects that involve concrete restoration. The market abounds in various Mud jacking pumps that can be appropriate for projects of any type.

Gunite Pumps

These make use of pressurized air for pumping dry material to the pumping line from the machine, and expelling it via the nozzle. To this dry material, water is added. Such kind of concrete pumping system is used for spraying sloped surfaces and walls. The spraying process is pressurized more by the compressed air. It is possible to get concrete poured more effectively and efficiently with the aid of this spraying process.

Mortar Pumps

Such kinds of concrete pumping systems are used to pour plasters and mortar. These are primarily used for concrete pour, sand, and floor screed projects. These are known to offer superior performance and can be found primarily in construction sites. This type of system is excellent for pouring and mixing fine materials.

Truck Mounted Concrete Boom Pumps

This type of pump can reach as far as 200 feet, based on the pumping line and boom size. For pouring concrete for industrial projects and high rise buildings, boom trucks are in use. These comprise of a pump, a frame, and a truck as one unit. One can manoeuvre these with ease, and these can work even in enclosed, small-sized spaces.

Most manufacturers tend to offer many added options, like:

·         Different types of boom settings.

·         Pumps in varied sizes are available.

·         Remote control facility is an option.

There are ready to mix boom trucks, which can be used to pour concrete into a specific central work site.

Line Pumps

Line Pumps, with a boom or without it, can be excellent for pouring concrete material into difficult to reach and narrow spaces, given that these can easily be manoeuvred and are small I size. This type of concrete pumping system is portable and it can be used for pumping:

·         Wet screeds

·         Foamed concrete

·         Shotcrete

·         Mortar

·         Grout

·         Concrete

These pumps are designed such that they are able to work flexibly, and are compact in size, making them easier to extend to all those areas that are tough to access otherwise. One can find this type of concrete pumping system able to transmit a hose pump line more than 170m in length. You can come across various kinds of line pumps. Typically, line pumps make use of pumps of ball-valve form.
