Concrete Pumping Sales & Equipment (Aust) explains the causes of blockages in pipeline

Concrete Pumping Sales & Equipment (Aust)  explain the process of concrete movement through the pump line and blockages caused by several situations. When concrete is pumped through the pumpline it gets separated from the pumpline walls by a layer of lubricating water, cement and sand.

According to Concrete Pumping Sales & Equipment (Aust) blockage in the pump can be caused by several factors including poor concrete mix design, pipeline and joint deficiencies, concrete setting up in the pipeline, foreign materials in the concrete and inexperienced pumping crew.

Blockage can also be caused by poor mixing of concrete. Some times the concrete that is supplied may not be a pumpable mix. This could cause bleeding or segregation. The pump selected may not have sufficient pressure or horsepower to process the required job, this could also lead to the blockage.

The concrete setting in the pipeline may cause delay and could affect the flow of concrete. There are possibilities for pieces of old concrete to break from mixer fins, hammers or unmixed clumps of concrete that can also contribute to blockages.

According to Concrete Pumping Sales & Equipment (Aust), during rainy season the cement and the materials get washed from the stone and course sand. For further information related to pumping and its blockage, customers can visit the official website.
