Ready Mix Concrete Pump Helps to Shorten the Work Load

Ready-mixed concrete is simply concrete that is mixed within a mixing truck on site or at an off-site plant location and then is delivered to the project site, already mixed. concrete mixer pump has long manufacturing experience, and we have three types of ready mix concrete:

• Plant mixed: concrete is mixed at an offsite batching facility and is placed in an agitator truck that constantly moves the concrete mixture so that the stiff and segregation in concrete mixtures won’t take place, then it is driven to the project site for instant use.

• Shrink mixed: concrete and its aggregates are partially mixed in a batching plant and is placed in a concrete truck mixer, where it is again partly mixed. Sometimes additional materials, like water and some admixtures, may be added to the concrete at the construction or project site.

• Transit: concrete is batched at a central plant location and is then mixed in a concrete mixing truck during transport to a project site. Transmit mixing keeps the water separate from the cement and its aggregates.

The most efficient transport for placing concrete at a project site is through a concrete ready-mix pump. Ready-mix concrete pumping helps to shorten the work load and reduces overhead costs. A concrete ready-mixture is transported into a hopper on the back of the concrete mini pump. When the concrete is in the hopper it is sucked into a valve system in small quantities and it is then pushed through the concrete pipe on the pump truck boom until it reaches the end of the concrete pump hose and is directed wherever it is needed. A huge advantage in a concrete ready-mix pump is that its use reduces construction site congestion and there are fewer on-site risks.

Boom trucks are the transporting vehicles that works best for ready-mix concrete mixtures. This pump truck entails a sturdy frame and a pump. A concrete ready-mix pump truck has rotating drum mixers with the axis included horizontally. Inside the mixer drum are blades that make a spiral rotation from the head to the opening of the drum. Many boom trucks are designed with single-axle truck mounted pumps which are very maneuverable and there are large six axle trucks with powerful pumps that are best used in large scaled construction projects. Besides that, the driving engine of boom trucks or concrete pump also plays an important role in the production of ready mix concrete, and we have electric and diesel powered concrete pump to meet the requirements of different working conditions.

To get the raw cement materials from a batching or mixing plant into the truck, the drum has to turn rapidly in the charging direction. After the concrete is loaded, mixed, and en route to the project site, the drum is continually turning at 2 rpm’s or less. Also, due to their vast reach, boom trucks can remain stationary for its entire pour, which allows ready mix trucks to place concrete directly into the concrete ready-mix pump hopper. Additional materials or admixtures may be added at the construction or project site, depending on the customized solution needed by the ready-mix contractor or engineer.
