Safety And Maintenance Tips For Concrete Pump Owners

Read carefully the owner and safety manual which came with the concrete pump. They contain important information that will keep your pump in good working condition. Routine maintenance can prevent bigger problems from occurring and ensure the safe operation of your equipment.

Regularly check whether the boom has damaged washers, leaks of hydraulic fittings, slurry in the water box, and whether the electrical components are not working properly or the fuse is blown.

Circuit working pressure. Remember, when the pipeline is under pressure, never tighten the hose fitting, always turn off the machine first. Use protective gloves, head and eye-wear, and pressurize the system when moving back.

Regularly check the boom for damaged washers, leaks of hydraulic connections, grout in the water tank, and for the electrical components not working properly or the with blown fuses.

Keep all internal and external electrical panels clean and well-sealed. Always replace the blown fuse with the correct voltage and the relay with the indicated current. Don't rely on the test light to indicate, use an ammeter to perform routine function monitoring tests. Avoid using acid to clean concrete pumps and pay attention to evidence of corrosion and loose or damaged plugs, terminals or junction boxes. Avoid storing things in the pump cell, in the water box area, as this can damage the wires and even cause a short circuit.

Mechanical and hydraulic pump grease is essential to correct machine operation and should be revised and regularly replenished. An automatic lubrication device may be a worthwhile investment and can ultimately save you a lot of money.

Check the outer layer of the hydraulic hose for signs of blistering, cracking, fraying, or dry rotting of the outer layer. Pay attention to steel or fabric sticking out, and for weeping or leaking from the mounting flange. Avoid crushing or pinching the hose and always replace it with the correct size to keep the hydraulic oil at the correct level and always take it from a clean receiver. Particle contamination is one of the main reasons for the deterioration of hydraulic components. Moisture contamination should also be avoided, because when compressed water turns into steam, it can cause pitting of metal or bronze pump components. You should also be very careful not to starve the fluid in the pump, which will cause cavitation and cause damage similar to aeration.

A regular maintenance will extend the working life of your concrete pump and ensure the safety of your operators.

The concrete pump is a very useful equipment, which allows you to transport concrete conveniently at the time and place needed during construction. Like any equipment you use, the better you maintain it, the longer it will last and the better the effect is.

Once you generate a regular boom pump maintenance schedule, you should find it easy to take the basic steps needed to ensure you get the most.
