How far can you line pump concrete?

Concrete pumps can be divided into three types: trailer pumps, truck-mounted pumps and pump trucks. Trailer pump truck-mounted pump can vertically transport concrete 140 meters to 300 meters, horizontal transport 450 meters to 1200 meters, the vertical and horizontal transport length of the pump truck is limited with the boom.

Determinants of concrete pumping distance
The maximum extension of the concrete pumping pipe is not a fixed value, but is determined by a combination of factors:
Pumping equipment power: the outlet pressure of the concrete pump directly affects the conveying distance, high-pressure pumps can achieve a longer distance conveying
Pipe diameter: common pipe diameter of 125mm and 150mm, the larger the diameter of the pipe, the lower the resistance, the longer the conveying distance
Pipe material and wall smoothness: high-quality alloy steel pipe wall is smoother, reducing friction resistance.
Concrete ratio: slump, aggregate size and other parameters affect the pumping performance.
Piping arrangement: Vertical height and the number of horizontal elbows significantly affect the conveying distance.

Technical solutions to extend concrete pumping distance
As a professional concrete pumping pipe manufacturer, we suggest the following ways to optimize the pumping distance:
Adopting high-pressure wear-resistant pipes: our special alloy pumping pipes can withstand higher pressure and reduce pressure loss
Optimize piping layout: minimize the number of elbows and use large radius bends to reduce resistance.
Use of pipe lubricants: Properly lubricate the inner wall of the pipe before construction.
Segmented pressurization technology: Setting up relay pumping stations when conveying over long distances.

In specific projects, we recommend:
Professional hydraulic calculations should be carried out for pumping distances of more than 500 meters.
Regularly check pipe wear and replace badly worn pipe sections in a timely manner
Work closely with the concrete supplier to adjust the optimal pumping ratio

As a professional manufacturer of concrete pumping pipes, we can provide optimized pumping pipe configurations and technical support according to your specific project needs, ensuring that the concrete is transported to the designated location efficiently and economically.
