Why Do I Need to ” Prime” the Pump?

Concrete pump primer is one of the cheapest insurances and this is why. When concrete is first pumped into the hoses, it will loose water in the process. This water would be absorbed by the dried hoses, causing concrete to loose its pump ability, so YES, you DO need to prime your system.

Say you start pumping 200 feet with a 6″ slump, at the end of 200 feet, you might end up with a 4″ to 3″ slump depending on the heat and conditions of the concrete, giving you as a result a higher chance of plugging your lines up. So It’s important to lubricate the walls of your system, you can do this with a concrete pump primer, Portland cement or just water.

Which is better?

Portland cement: Its a great way to lubricate your hoses, however is not as friendly to handle, and the breathing of the cement as you break the bag, is not good for your health

Water: It’s the world’s strongest dissolvant and in some cases it works great, but its liquid form will not allow hoses to be completely coated, since it will mainly run on the bottom portion of them.

This product allows concrete to flow with ease, avoiding damage to your equipment or delays caused by having to unplug lines.

Concrete pump primers are extremely important for your concrete pump. It ensures that the concrete being pumped, can make it easily through the hoses when you first start pumping.  This biodegradable material will ensure the longevity of your hoses and the ease of use on your concrete pump. What happens is once you start pumping, your hoses will start taking water away from the mix reducing the pump ability of the material therefore causing you to plug and delay your job.

Concrete pump primer basically creates a gellous material that will coat the walls of the hoses as concrete travels through it. Basically, you apply the concrete pump primer first and you start pumping it into your hoses, and then you pour the concrete into the hopper and pump it down, having the concrete pump primer in front of the concrete material. And since it is biodegradable, you can pretty much allow it to be disposed of anywhere in the job site.

Instructions of use

Tired of having to shovel thick concrete thru your grate, because it wont flow into it fast enough? Stopping your pump every time concrete overflows on the hopper, has become a problem and its time to address it. Concrete pump vibrators are great time savers and can be installed pretty much anywhere in the hopper of your concrete pump. Their hardcore enclosed design allows for concrete or water to be poured on top of it, without damaging the unit.

Great for shotcrete operations, big rock pours or just a very thick slump. These vibrators can be installed right on the Grill of the machine to ensure a proper flow of material right into the hopper, without overflowing or manual labor to avoid it. Super easy to install, silent and 100% reliable. You can add a mounting plate for easier installation.

Concrete pump hopper vibrators are widely used for shotcrete applications. Shotcrete normally is a material that is pumped at about 3 or 4 inch a slump and at about 4000 to 6500 PSI of maximum resistance therefore, making this concrete material very thick and hard to filter through the grill on the hopper. By vibrating, concrete can make it easily into the hopper, without having to have and additional person pushing the concrete through the grate.

Wireless remote controls are not always a necessity — depending on how many people you got operating the pump and what kind of setups do you need. Normally, you will be required to either use one or not required at all.

For a one-man pump operation, it will be very useful to have because if you are using a hydraulic pump, the last thing you want is to build up too much pressure on the reducers. So if you are 200 ft away or 300ft away from the machine while holding a hose and then you find out you got a plug, you got to run back to the machine, stop the hydraulic pump, and throw it in reverse. But if you have a wireless remote control, you can stop the machine right on the spot before it builds up too much pressure on the reducers causing an extreme danger to all those around you.

Wireless remote controls can reach all the way up to 1,000ft in vertical and horizontal distances. They normally come with 2 AA batteries which are easy to find anywhere and are water proofed for those rugged applications.

Normally, we do not include concrete pump hoses with any of the equipment we sell because, since we are selling used equipment, these units come with used hoses as well. When we refurbished these machines, we, in a way, make them as powerful as they used to be when they were new. So if we were to use the same hoses that the machine originally came with, it will represent a higher risk for these hoses to burst or rupture. Therefore, we recommend to all of our customers that when you buy refurbished concrete pump from us or a used concrete trailer pump from us, you buy new hoses that are going to be able to withstand pressures upwards of 1,250 PSI.

It is important to make sure that these hoses that you are purchasing are not stiff, are not too heavy, and are not too expensive.

Hoses are the most crucial part of the whole operation because it is through them that we transport all these concrete. They have to be very resistant and they have to be smooth enough inside for the easy passage of the material.

People normally use 2-inch hoses for a 1-man operation but when you have the manpower to handle bigger diameters, you can go all the way up to 5 inches for trailer pumps or you can go up to 6 inches for a boom pump.
