Pump Parts for Concrete Truck Chute

Time to Read: 1m 0s

Within the construction industry, concrete trucks utilize pump applications for essential operations like washouts. Washouts are temporary systems that hold contaminated water and slurry from emptying and cleaning pumps and chutes on concrete trucks. Crucial for concrete truck maintenance and a vital environmental practice, washouts:
  • Protect the environment from harmful and corrosive substances
  • Prevent flooding in drainage systems
  • Comply with mandated laws for cost-effectiveness
  • Keep your job site safe
Understand the importance of pump applications for washouts, pump system benefits and performance advantages for concrete trucks, and Springer pump parts for concrete truck chute solutions.

Pumps Used for Concrete Truck Washout

Most concrete trucks have a pump on board for washout operations. There are a variety of pump applications, but diaphragm pumps are preferred for concrete truck chute washouts. Diaphragm pumps are utilized in several industries because they can be used for many fluid substances like food-grade clean water, acids, and slurries.
A positive displacement pump, diaphragm pumps use two diaphragm components (in and out) to fill the pump chamber with fluid. The diaphragms move away from the chamber to allow fluid to flow in, then when they push in toward the chamber, pressure increases, and the fluid rushes out. To ensure the fluid flows appropriately through the chamber, diaphragm pump applications feature one-way check valves.

Pump System Benefits & Performance

Diaphragm pumps are a vital application for the performance and maintenance of concrete trucks. Also used for recirculation, to keep concrete in a liquid form before the pour, diaphragm pumps offer various benefits to concrete trucks and their operations, such as:
  • Self-priming for lift capacity
  • Can run dry (stroke life will deplete if run dry for too long)
  • No overheating due to self-cooling features
  • Portable
  • Easy installation
