C-30HDG PUMP — OPERATING INFORMATION

Down-Hill Pumping

Downhillpumpingcanbedifficultonsomejobs.Itissuggestedthat a sponge 2”x 4”x 6” be placed in the hose before the start of pumping.Wetthespongebeforeplacingitinthehose.Reference the Operating Suggestions at the start of this section for slurry procedures.

The reason for using the wet sponge is to keep the slurry from running too far ahead of the concrete and so reducing the possibility of separation.When the pump is stopped, the material can flow slowly down, due to gravity, and cause the hose to collapse.

Whenpumpingisresumed,youcanexpectablockageatthepoint ofhosecollapse.Topreventthisfromhappening,thehosecanbe “kinked off” at the discharge end when the pump is stopped to prevent the gravity flow of the material in the hose.

The use of stiffer mixes when pumping down-hill will decrease gravity flow of the material in the hose and will assure a smoother operation between the cam roller bearing and cam plate. As with any job, make sure that the hose and the couplings are in good workable shape.

VerticalPumping

When pumping vertically up the side of a building, above 40 feet, we would recommend the installation of steel pipe securely fastened at intervals as necessary to support the pipe. Ninety degree,longradiuspipesweepsshouldbeinstalledatthetopand bottom of the steel line.

When pumping vertically using all hose, it is recommended not to go higher than 50 feet with hose.The hose should be tied off at intervals of 10 feet, if possible. Special attention should be given whentieingthehoseoffatthetopasthehosewillhaveatendency to stretch when filled with concrete.This will increase the possi- bility of a blockage at the point where the hose is tied off.To avoid this, a long radius of 90 degree elbow is recommended. The suggested place to tie off is on the hose, under the clamp.

It is strongly recommended that steel pipe be used on ALL vertical pumping for safety and conve- nience.

ValveSeats

If the volume at the end of hose starts to decrease gradually and eventuallyalmoststops,itisquitelikelythatthevalveseatshave had excessive wear and need replacement. Once they have reached a certain wear point, they may“channel out”rapidly and material will reciprocate past the ball on each stroke.

If this condition exists, it is advisable to remove the manifold only, andinspectthelowerseatattheendofeachday.Ifitappearsthat the seat is beginning to“channel out", replace before starting the nextday’s pour.

The upper valve seat can be inspected after each washout by running your finger around lower edge of seat where the ball makescontact.Youcanreachthisfromtheinsideofthehopper.Be sure that the engine is turned off.

Pulsation

A slight pulsation of the hose will always be noticeable near the pump.Excessivepulsationofthehosenearthepumpisnormally due to higher than average line pressures caused by stiff, harsh mixes, or extremely long pumping distances.

The use of 2 -1/2” I.D. hose in these extreme cases reduces line pressures or the addition of slight amounts of water to the mix, if permissible,willpermiteasierpumping.Theuseofcertainpump- ing admixtures may help.
