What Is Automatic Pump Truck

In the construction industry, concrete pouring efficiency directly impacts project progress. The automatic pump truck, as core equipment, has become the preferred choice for large-scale projects due to their dual advantages of "automation" and "high-efficiency delivery."

Core Structure

1. Boom operating system

The boom is the "signature component" of an automatic concrete boom pump and a key difference from ordinary concrete pumps. A qualified boom system must meet two requirements:

Multi-section boom + flexible joints: It is typically equipped with 3-6 folding boom sections, primarily made of high-strength steel, enabling 360° rotation and multi-angle extension/retraction. The maximum working radius can reach 30-60 meters, covering complex pouring scenarios such as high-rise buildings and large factories.

Automatic positioning function: Through laser positioning or GPS navigation, the boom end can automatically align with the pouring point, avoiding errors from manual adjustments. This is especially suitable for continuous pouring operations on large-area floor slabs and walls, with positioning accuracy controllable within ±5cm.

2. Concrete Conveying System

The conveying system determines the efficiency and quality of concrete delivery. Core components include:

Dual-cylinder plunger pump: This is the "power core" of the automatic concrete boom pump. Through the alternating movement of two plungers, concrete is drawn from the hopper and pressurized for delivery. The conveying capacity can reach 80-150 m³/h, and it can stably deliver concrete with a slump of 50-230 mm, meeting various engineering needs.

Pipelines and lubrication system: The conveying pipeline must extend synchronously with the boom. The inner wall is made of wear-resistant material to extend its service life. It is also equipped with an automatic lubrication system that regularly lubricates the plungers, seals, and other components to reduce wear and prevent leakage.

3. Automated Control System

The core of "automation" lies in the control system. A qualified automatic concrete boom pump should possess the following features:

One-button operation: Pouring parameters (such as delivery volume and boom angle) can be set via a touchscreen. The system can automatically complete the boom deployment, concrete delivery, and boom retraction processes without repeated manual adjustments, reducing operational difficulty.

Safety protection and fault warning: The system monitors equipment status in real time (such as oil pressure, oil temperature, and boom position). If abnormalities such as overpressure, excessive oil temperature, or boom deviation occur, it will immediately stop the machine and issue an alarm, while displaying the cause of the fault for easy maintenance. Furthermore, it has anti-tipping and anti-collision functions to ensure construction safety.

Features

1. High efficiency

Through automated operation, the automatic concrete boom pump can achieve "one-person operation, fully automatic" delivery, increasing delivery efficiency by more than 30% compared to ordinary pump trucks.

2. High precision

The automated control system's precise boom positioning ensures stable delivery, effectively avoiding errors from manual operation. Meanwhile, the system can adjust the delivery rate in real time to avoid formwork cracking due to excessively fast material supply or cold joints due to excessively slow material supply.

3. High Adaptability

The boom of the automatic concrete boom pump can flexibly adjust its angle and length to adapt to different construction scenarios: in narrow construction sites, the folding boom can reduce the footprint; in high-altitude operations, the boom can extend to a working surface tens of meters high, eliminating the need for scaffolding; in addition, some equipment also has an off-road chassis, allowing it to travel on muddy and rugged terrain, meeting the needs of field projects (such as highways and water conservancy projects).

4. Easy Maintenance

The automated control system not only provides early warning of faults but also records equipment operating data (such as working hours, delivery rate, and maintenance cycle), facilitating users in developing maintenance plans. Furthermore, core components (such as the plunger pump and boom joints) adopt a modular design, allowing for quick component replacement during maintenance and reducing downtime. The whole cement pump truck cost is not high.

A Popoular Model: 39 Meter Concrete Pump

 Small boom pump trucks are quick to transfer, easy to pump and flexible and fast to extend and retract the boom, eliminating the need to connect and remove pipes, greatly reducing labor and saving labor costs. The first thing that small pump trucks need to do when operating in the cities or towns is passability. 39 meter concrete pump truck has a compact body and very good passability. It is especially suitable for rural roads and can adapt well to the operation in these places.

Haomei 39 meter short boom concrete pump truck has fast material absorption and is equipped with a large cylinder diameter (230mm) and large displacement (120 cubic meters/hour) pumping system. The material absorption rate is more than 85%, the number of reversing times with the same displacement is low, and the life of wearing parts is long. The turntable of the pump truck can rotate 360 degrees, and there is no dead angle in the construction.

It can fully satisfy the requirements of constructing self-built houses. A 4-story self-built house in rural areas has a single-story height of 3.9m, and the boom length of this 39-meter small pump truck is fully sufficient, with ease and coverage without dead ends. At the same time, the pump truck can be supported on one side to meet the needs of a narrow working range and ensure unobstructed operation.

Due to the special folding structure of the boom of a small pump truck, the boom can only be fully unfolded during pumping construction, and pumping can be achieved by adjusting the arch of the boom. In order to make the unfolded boom reasonably meet the needs of short-distance pumping construction, it is necessary to try to shorten the unfolded length of the boom. For long-distance pumping, choose to use the entire boom, and for short-distance pumping, choose to use part of the boom.

In addition, it is equipped with a central controller for construction machinery, a large-size high-definition display screen, and an LCD display remote control. The control system has stronger performance, more user-friendly operation, making it easier to handle construction difficulties.

The wearing parts are fully upgraded to have longer life, better wear resistance, universal use,etc. For example, the concrete piston is fully upgraded. The 39-meter small pump truck uses special material composite technology, and the average life of the pump truck piston exceeds 600 hours, which is 200% higher than the previous generation. Haomei Machinery’s new concrete pump trucks have been exported to many countries. Welcome to inquire concrete pump truck Malaysia from us.

What Is The Chassis of Long Boom Concrete Pump Truck

 After more than 20 years of development, the current design level and manufacturing capabilities of Chinese concrete boom pump have been greatly improved. However, among the three most important components of a pump truck - chassis, pump and boom, parts of customers or manufacturers still prefer to use imported products. Especially when choosing a pump truck chassis, imported products are particularly favored.

When users choose a pump truck chassis, in addition to price, they will also consider four important factors: The first is the brand. Competition in the construction field is fierce, and most long boom concrete pump users will believe that vehicles of well-known brands will bring an advantage to their business bidding.

The second is the reliability of the vehicle. Due to the high work intensity of the pump truck, the requirements for the durability and integrity of the chassis are very high. Once the chassis fails, it will bring not only maintenance costs, but also the economic benefits of the user will be seriously affected.

The third is after-sales service. The special use environment of concrete pump trucks has very high requirements for after-sales service. Whether the after-sales service is timely will even determine whether the construction contract contracted by the user can be successfully completed.

The fourth is fuel economy. Today, as fuel prices continue to rise, pump truck fuel consumption is also a factor that customers have to consider. The level of fuel consumption will also have a certain impact on vehicle sales.

For concrete pump truck manufacturing companies, they are also faced with the problem of chassis selection. With the development of the market, the manufacturing of pump trucks has shown a trend of diversification. The length of the boom is getting longer and longer, and the load capacity is also getting larger and larger. Therefore, when selecting the supporting chassis, the concrete pump truck manufacturer also put forward some requirements accordingly:

1. The engine power output should match bodywork design requirements. The designer of the pump truck's upper body should select the appropriate engine power based on the outlet pressure and torque requirements of the designed upper body. If the two do not match, there will be problems such as the pump truck slowing down in actual work.

2. Choose choose the correct modified chassis according to different design weights and different boom lengths. The design of a pump truck must not only consider the working conditions of its upper body but also the safety of its road driving. Therefore, the matching chassis form must be selected according to the load distribution and national regulations.

For example: Generally, a pump truck with an arm length of less than 27 m uses a 2-axis chassis, a pump truck with an arm length of 27 m to 37 m uses a 3-axis chassis, and a pump truck with an arm length of 42 m to 47 m uses a 4-axis chassis. If the length is more than 52 m, a 5-axis or 6-axis chassis is required.

3. Carry out vehicle modification work according to the modification instructions provided by the chassis manufacturer. For example, Volvo Truck Company can provide each modification company with modification instructions (CD-ROM) and has a professional website to provide support for modification work.

It is precisely based on the dual choices of users and pump truck manufacturing companies that imported brand pump truck chassis have always been popular. Haomei Machinery’s boom concrete pump truck has different brands of chassis for you to choose from like Volvo, HOWO, Benz,etc.

What Do You Like to Know About Small Line Concrete Pumping

 The trailer concrete pump is the cheapest among the three, that is concrete pump trailer, truck mounted concrete pump and concrete boom pump. There are electric concrete pump and diesel concrete pump. The difference is that the power source of the hydraulic system is provided by the motor or the diesel engine.

The operating noise of the electric small line concrete pumping is relatively small, but the motor pump needs to set up power lines, which is troublesome. If there is no suitable power supply, or the erection circuit is too long, it is not recommended to choose a electric concrete pump. Diesel pumps are relatively flexible when working. If it is in a place where there is no sufficient power supply, of course it is safer to choose a diesel pump.

The relationship between the power of the concrete pump, the outlet pressure of the concrete delivery pump, and the delivery volume of the concrete pump: the motor power of a concrete pump trailer is the prerequisite for determining the outlet pressure and the delivery volume. In the case of a certain motor power, the increase of the pressure will reduce the delivery volume; on the contrary, reducing the outlet pressure will increase the delivery volume.

The ready mix concrete line pump relies on the delivery pipeline to pump concrete, so the configuration of the delivery pipeline is also one of the important procedures of the operation. Pipeline design should try to avoid bending pipes, and adopt straight lines to ensure that the pipe joints are sealed and leak-free. Pipelines should not be placed directly on the ground, and pads should be prepared. If it is a high-rise building construction that transports concrete upwards, it is also necessary to arrange fixing devices to fix the pipeline.

There are many factors that determine the pumping distance of the ready mix concrete pump truck. The first is the maximum pumping pressure of the equipment, which directly determines the farthest pumping height and horizontal distance. Secondly, the performance of concrete will also affect its pumping distance.

The performance of the truck mounted concrete pump is related to the model. When selecting the model, in addition to the amount of concrete pouring, the type and structure of the building, site conditions, construction technical requirements and surrounding environment should also be considered. The main performance parameters of the concrete pump truck usually selected should be in line with the construction requirements or slightly larger.

The Boom Length of Small Concrete Pump Truck

 The small concrete pump truck is a kind of concrete equipment that can use its own boom to pump concrete. Because of the built-in boom, the process of taking over and dismantling the pipe is omitted, which makes the construction process more streamlined and greatly reduces the intensity of the workers' construction. In addition, the small boom pump truck has a wide range of applications, not only for urban construction, but also for concrete construction in rural areas.

According to the height of the boom of the pump truck, the concrete pump truck can be divided into: short boom, long boom and super long boom. The boom height of 13-28meter is for the short boom concrete pump; 31-47 meter is for the the long boom concrete pump, 51-62 meter is for the super-long boom concrete truck.

It is better to use a small concrete pump truck between 25 meters and 42 meters for concrete construction in rural areas. If the boom is too short, it is difficult to to meet the needs of rural construction; if it is too long, it will lead to waste of cost. In some narrow areas in rural areas, the too long boom is limited by the size of the space and is not easy to stretch. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate boom length of the small concrete pump truck for rural construction.

The boom frame and the master cylinder use a hydraulic system. However, different brands of pump trucks also have differences in hydraulic systems. A good hydraulic system can generate greater working pressure, and has the advantages of small conversion impact and easy control.

Different brands have different prices. This is due to the different production processes of major manufacturers and the different quality of boom pressure concrete pump, which directly affects the boom pressure concrete pump price. Usually, the price of large manufacturers is higher than that of small and medium-sized enterprises, and their corresponding service measures are also better.

However, there are also some small and medium-sized concrete boom pump manufacturers like Haomei Machinreiy that are very popular among users due to their excellent quality and reasonable price. Its main parts are of world-class brands, and the production technology is excellent, so the products sold have received good response.
