By creating a back-and-forth movement, the concrete pump piston propels the concrete through the pump and into the desired location. The piston is a cylindrical part that fits snugly inside a cylinder and is connected to a rod, which is linked to a hydraulic system.
When the hydraulic system is activated, it propels the rod forward, thereby causing the piston to move in the same direction. As the piston advances, it creates a vacuum behind it, which draws the concrete into the cylinder through an inlet valve.
Once the piston reaches the end of its forward stroke, the hydraulic system changes its direction, retracting the rod and causing the piston to move backward. Consequently, this action closes the inlet valve and opens an outlet valve, enabling the concrete to be forced out of the cylinder and into the delivery line.
The reciprocating motion of the piston, combined with the alternating opening and closing of the inlet and outlet valves, facilitates a continuous flow of concrete through the pump. This process is rapidly repeated, ensuring efficient and consistent pumping of concrete to the desired location.
A concrete pump piston works by creating a reciprocating motion that pushes the concrete through the pump and into the desired location. The piston is a cylindrical component that fits snugly inside a cylinder. It is connected to a rod, which is attached to a hydraulic system.
When the hydraulic system is activated, it pushes the rod forward, causing the piston to move in the same direction. As the piston moves forward, it creates a vacuum behind it, drawing the concrete into the cylinder through an inlet valve.
Once the piston reaches the end of its forward stroke, the hydraulic system reverses its direction, pulling the rod back and causing the piston to move backward. This closes the inlet valve and opens an outlet valve, allowing the concrete to be forced out of the cylinder and into the delivery line.
The reciprocating motion of the piston, along with the alternating opening and closing of the inlet and outlet valves, allows for a continuous flow of concrete through the pump. This process is repeated rapidly, allowing for efficient and consistent pumping of concrete to the desired location.
A concrete pump piston works by using hydraulic pressure to push the concrete mixture from the hopper into the delivery pipeline. The piston moves back and forth inside a cylinder, creating suction on one side and pressure on the other. As the piston retracts, it creates a vacuum that draws the concrete mixture into the cylinder. On the forward stroke, the piston compresses the concrete, forcing it out through the discharge valve and into the delivery pipeline, allowing for efficient and continuous concrete pumping.
