Q. What is the function of a concrete pump?

Answer

On a building site, one of the most useful tools is a concrete pump, which is designed to move newly mixed liquid concrete to the precise spot where it is required. It functions by utilizing a valve system and working off of the fundamentals of hydraulics. When there is a need for concrete, a mixing truck will first begin the process of mixing concrete inside its revolving drum. The liquid concrete is then transferred from the truck into a hopper, where it is mixed continuously to prevent the mixture from becoming solid. After that, the liquid concrete is drawn out of the hopper by the concrete pump, passed through a valve system, and then delivered to the location where it has to be placed down, often with the assistance of auxiliary hoses. Internally, the workings of a twin-cylinder hydraulic concrete pump normally consist of two cylinders that are parallel to one another. The cylinders are moved in a back-and-forth motion in the opposite direction by driving pistons that are located inside of them. When one cylinder advances, the other one retracts in the opposite direction. When one cylinder travels in one direction, the other moves in the opposite direction.
