What Is The Operation Of A Cement Pump?
Describes the basic operation of a pumping system.
1. The main oil pump’s hydraulic oil output is distributed to the main oil cylinder via the sequence valve, causing the piston rod of the main oil cylinder to be pushed forward and backward, and then the piston of the cement cylinder moves (as a whole) to suck or extrude the concrete into or out of the concrete cylinder.
2. Simultaneously, the swing cylinder drives the swing arm with high-pressure oil, causing the S pipe to alternate between the two cement cylinder exits.
3. The concrete’s continuous suction and extrusion pressure are accomplished by the continuous reciprocating motion of the cement cylinder and the back-and-forth switching of the S pipe, completing the pumping operation.
What Should You Understand About the Cement Pump Quotation?
After receiving the cement pump quote from the manufacturer, you should learn more about the quotation pricing.
1. The client needs to know approximately how much the manufacturing cost is based on the manufacturer’s cement pump quote. The main element is to understand the fixed cost that the client must pay and if any additional variable fees must be paid later.
