concrete pumps
Concrete pumps offer some particular challenges to the radio-remote control installer. They are typically classified as high-risk plant, and the requirement for a safety-rated remote control system is paramount. Strangely, we continue to see many sub-standard remote controls fitted to concrete pumps - especially imported types. But as well as requiring a high degree of safety, concrete pumps also operate on construction sites, where there are many types of radio controlled equipment (cranes, concrete mixers, trenching machines, etc), so resistance to interference needs to be excellent. Furthermore, operating in and around buildings under construction can make heavy demands on the radio link, as it needs to deal with obstacles including walls, and mesh cages. Line Pumps, Trailer Pumps Typically, these systems just require the pump to be switched on and off, as well as other sundry functions, such as a vibrator, or start/stop the engine. For systems without a flow control potentiometer,, the A8 ior SK4 are both economical solutions. For more complex line pumps, the LKNeo or the SK4/8 Sidekick models provide hand-held or waist-worn alternitives respectively. Boom Pumps, Static Pumps, Placing Booms, Shotcreting machines Smaller booms and shot-creting machines often use non-proportional valves, as very fine control is not required. This type of valve is well-suited to the AJC, AJR or AJM which can mount either up to 4 dual-axis joysticks to suit pumps of any size. Larger booms typically feature proportionally-controlled valve banks, and the Dynamic series remotes are well-suited. The FJS remote is very compact and suits smaller pumps up to 3-stage, whereas the FJR is the most commonly used model, as it is compact and lightweight. and can control booms up to 5-stage with 3 x 2-axis joysticks. Expert Advice Our Technical Support team consists of Electrical Engineers with broad experience in concrete pumps. Whether for a new machine or to replace a lost/failed system, we can quickly design a solution to suit.
