The piston in a concrete pump serves a critical function in the pumping process, facilitating the efficient and controlled delivery of concrete from the pump to the desired location. The functionality of the concrete piston includes:
Concrete suction: The piston creates a vacuum within the pumping cylinder during the suction stroke. This vacuum draws the concrete from the hopper or receiving container into the cylinder.
Concrete compression: During the compression stroke, the piston moves upward, compressing the concrete within the pumping cylinder. This compression increases the pressure on the concrete, preparing it for delivery through the discharge outlet.
Concrete displacement: As the piston moves upward during the compression stroke, the compressed concrete is displaced from the cylinder and forced through the discharge outlet. The piston's movement creates a continuous and controlled flow of concrete, allowing for precise placement at the construction site.
Seal and pressure control: The piston, along with sealing rings or seals, ensures a tight seal between the pumping cylinder and the piston itself. This seal prevents leakage of concrete and maintains the desired pressure within the pumping system, optimizing efficiency and preventing wastage.
Wear resistance and durability: The piston is designed to withstand the abrasive nature of concrete and the high pressures involved in pumping operations. It is typically made from durable materials such as rubber or polyurethane, providing wear resistance and long-lasting performance.
