By pumping excessively wet mixes which do not have Mix design is most important to achieve maximum pumpability. enough cohesion to hold together. Pumpability is affected by, among other factors, the type and gradation of aggregate used. Natural aggregates make a more 2. By pumping harsh undersanded concrete with poorly graded workable mix and pump more readily than crushed aggregate

LS400/LS500 PUMP — HOW IT WORKS The following is a brief explanation of how the concrete cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, shuttle tube, valves and hopper work in sequence to pump concrete. The hydraulic pressure is generated by a variable volume, pressure compensated, axial piston pump that is driven by a diesel engine. The rod sides of the drive cylinders are hydraulically connected together creating a “slave circuit,” which allows hydraulic oil to transfer from one piston to the other. The two
