In recent years, the government has significantly increased its investment in infrastructure development, which has led to a rapid expansion of the concrete machinery market. Among these, concrete pumps have played a crucial role, especially in the booming construction industry. The domestic full-hydraulic two-cylinder concrete pump has evolved from scratch, gradually growing stronger and more advanced. As the market warms up, an increasing number of manufacturers are entering the scene, offering a wide range of models and types of concrete pumps. With such a diverse market, how can users identify high-quality and cost-effective options? What factors should they consider when selecting a reliable and high-performance concrete pump? Let’s explore this together. Starting with technical specifications is essential. A typical concrete pump has several key parameters: delivery capacity, outlet pressure, motor power, and the type of distribution valve. According to the latest national standards, these details can be identified directly from the model name. For example, take the "HBTS60-13-90" model. Here's what each part means: - **HB**: Abbreviation for concrete pump in Chinese pinyin. - **T**: Indicates a drag-type pump. - **S**: Refers to an S-shaped tube valve (D for butterfly valve, Z for gate valve). - **60**: Maximum theoretical delivery rate, in m³/h. - **13**: Maximum outlet pressure, in MPa. - **90**: Motor power, in kW. Concrete pumps are generally categorized by outlet pressure into low-pressure (≤5MPa), medium-pressure (6–10MPa), and high-pressure (>10MPa). Delivery volume typically ranges from 20 to 100m³/h, with most pumps featuring variable displacement or speed control. Users should choose the outlet pressure based on the height and distance of the project, while the delivery capacity should match the mixing and feeding capability. The type of distribution valve also matters—butterfly valves are ideal for coarse aggregates but have larger flow losses, while S-valves offer smoother flow and are better suited for high-pressure applications. Motor power is critical, as it determines both pressure and output. When power is fixed, increasing pressure reduces delivery volume, and vice versa. To balance performance and efficiency, many modern pumps use constant power piston pumps. This design ensures that when pressure rises, the displacement automatically decreases to maintain the power limit. If high pressure and large output are needed simultaneously, the only solution is to increase motor power. That’s why the new national standard introduced the concept of the pump’s capacity index (measured in MPa·m³/h), which reflects the product of pressure and throughput. Many manufacturers also incorporate high/low voltage switching to meet different construction needs, allowing for either higher delivery capacity or greater pressure with the same motor power. For instance, the HBTS60-13-90 model can deliver 63m³/h at 7.7MPa for fast, low-pressure pumping, or switch to 37m³/h at 13MPa for high-pressure, long-distance transport. The hydraulic pump, often referred to as the “heart” of the machine, plays a vital role. Domestic and imported pumps vary in quality and application. Gear pumps are cost-effective but limited in pressure, while piston pumps, especially those with swash plate designs, are widely used for their adaptability and reliability. Brands like Germany’s Rexroth and Japan’s Kawasaki are known for high-quality components. Hydraulic valves act as the “assistant” to the pump, controlling various operations. High-reliability valves from global brands like Hawe, Rexroth, and Atos ensure smooth performance. Electrical components, including contactors, circuit breakers, and relays, also affect system stability. While domestic parts are cheaper, imported ones like Siemens, Schneider, and Omron are more durable and efficient. Some manufacturers now use PLCs to reduce mechanical contacts and improve automation, making maintenance easier. Finally, brand reputation and after-sales service are equally important. Established companies with strong R&D capabilities, proven track records, and reliable support networks provide peace of mind. For example, a Jiajiang Pump model has been in operation for over 20 years, and the manufacturer still supplies spare parts, showing long-term commitment. In conclusion, purchasing a concrete pump involves evaluating not just the hardware, but also the brand’s expertise, component quality, and service support. Making an informed choice ensures long-term performance, cost-effectiveness, and operational reliability.
