Product Description

concrete pump piston Functional features:

1. Function: The primary function of a concrete pump piston is to generate hydraulic pressure to push the concrete from the hopper into the delivery system. It creates a reciprocating motion to propel the concrete forward.
2. Design: Concrete pump pistons are typically made of high-quality materials such as rubber or polyurethane. They have a cylindrical shape and are designed to fit precisely within the pumping cylinders.
3. Sealing: The piston is equipped with sealing rings or cups to ensure a tight and efficient seal between the piston and the cylinder. This minimizes leakage and maintains pressure during the pumping process.
4. Wear and Tear: Concrete pumping involves abrasive materials, which can cause wear on the piston over time. Regular maintenance and replacement of worn-out pistons are necessary to ensure optimal performance and prevent potential issues.
5. Size and Compatibility: Concrete pump pistons come in various sizes and configurations to match different pump models and specifications. It is crucial to select the correct piston size and type that is compatible with the specific concrete pump being used.
6. Maintenance and Replacement: Proper maintenance, including lubrication and cleaning, is essential to prolong the lifespan of the concrete pump piston. When the piston shows signs of wear or damage, it should be replaced promptly to avoid performance issues and potential breakdowns.
