Concrete Pump Pipe Installation Method

Concrete pump is a kind of construction tool used by many construction parties. It can greatly improve the efficiency of construction. As a mechanical tool welcomed by the majority of construction parties. Many people are very concerned about the method of installing concrete pump pipes. So what is the method of installing concrete pump pipes?

Concrete pumps have been widely used in various construction fields. They can be seen in various construction projects of houses, bridges, tunnels, diversion mines, and highways. Although the concrete pump has many uses in construction. But we must ensure the normal progress of construction. Make sure that the installation of the concrete pump pipe is correct. So what is the installation method of the concrete pump? Now concrete pump pipes manufacturer briefly introduce as follows:

1. First place the pump on a firm concrete floor or stone pier. Keep it level. And lock the positioning pins and safety pins of the 4 legs of the pump. Take the tire off the ground or remove the tire.

2. After the pump is placed. Make a chute between the discharge port of the mixer and the hopper of the pump. The material discharged from the mixer enters the hopper of the pump through the chute. The chute usually uses angle steel as the framework. It is welded by 1.5 mm thick steel plate. The bottom of the chute is erected with supports. Make it firm. For the chute, the slope is required to be appropriate, and the inclination angle is 25°-40°. Leave a certain space between the chute and the pump hopper. This makes it easier to clean the hopper and screen.

3. Under normal circumstances, the height of the pump hopper should be increased by about 20 cm. This can increase the volume of the hopper. To ensure that the concrete does not flow, because the forced mixer discharges the material at one time. In this way, the concrete flowing into the hopper will be more uniform. If the material is discharged in stages, then more concrete stones will come out. It is unfavorable for pumping, if a large capacity mixer is used. A storage hopper can be made in advance to ensure continuous feeding.

4. Each pipeline must be firmly connected. A firm fixing device must be installed at the elbow. A firm point must be established for every 10 meters of horizontal pipelines. The pipe clamp should be suspended in the air to facilitate the removal and connection of the pipe. The clamps must be fastened in place. Ensure that the joint is tightly sealed and does not leak slurry or water.
