These videos are not a substitute for the Printed REED Operation and Safety Manuals that come with all new REED pumps. When working with a REED Concrete Pump or Gunite Machine, it is extremely important that everyone using and near the machine has read those Official REED Operation and Safety manuals and have a clear understanding of how the machine works, and understand the proper methods of cleanout and troubleshooting. When working with REED equipment, we suggest that you always wear proper protective attire, including safety glasses, gloves, dust masks, etc to prevent injury.

Knocking the seal housing out with a drift was super hard. I got mine out easily by driving a metal wedge ( in this case, my chisel bit for air gun ) between the nut thats holding the chrome outlet and the seal housing. once the seal breaks, it comes out easily.
When you pump caissons you are ALWAYS going to fight water. The mix is always 5000psi. There is so much stopping and waiting to pump water and remove the sleeves, that the job can quickly devolve into a nightmare for the pump operator. To even touch a caissons job we require maximum retarder (3%) and at least 90 minute spacing on trucks. If those conditions are met, then the jobs are generally a success.
That is not a 2 inch slump at all. That is a 5 inch slump with a water hose running in the hopper to lube the Shotcrete up. The Reinert XR536 Shotcrete Pump Pumps 900 plus feet with ease, nozzles 2 men off the same pump also with a true 2 inch slump, and can push a real 1 inch slump.

При перемещении патрубка между секциями есть утечка бетона... Надо было сделать трубу питания линий двойной, а переключение подачи по типу вращающегося круга с одним отверстием с креплением в центре. Так и проще и надёжнее.
Finally I found it but wow how do you huge middle bolt holding that together I tried cus it was a 6 sided shape so I thaught it was a bolt but I couldn’t so I just ended up cleaning the inside with a chisel and small Jack hammer or chisel hammer whatever you call it
My guy, if the pump is not in action and you take the proper precautions, nothing will happen. Sometimes the mud at the bottom gets hard inside of the hopper (and if you're really unlucky, along the top too) and your only option is to chip it/ poke it off with whatever you have available (hammers, crow bars, stakes, rebar, etc.) I've been doing it for more than half of my life and have never had an issue. I always make sure to check that the pump is in remote operation and turn off the remote so there can't be any accidental inputs just to be safe in the event that I have to stick my arms in there at all.
Poor excuses for disregarding safety. It only takes one time to change your mind. I too have spent more than half my life in this industry and have seen some horrible and completely avoidable accidents. All because " I know what the fuck I'm doing, been doing it for years." Sets a poor example.
@@beavergunsnroses3258 I explained what I do to make sure the pump will not move, which you could have seen if you read my full comment. If I was sticking an arm in while the mixer or swing tube were in operation, I'd see the problem, but I have not and will not do that because THAT is how you risk amputation. But maybe I should let my machine turn into a paperweight because I'm too scared to stick an arm in when it's not in operation🤷🏽♂️
Also I’ve been doing this for 14 years now I’m 33been using this machine for only refactory only and I tell ya a million and one problems the material chews the ware plates after 120 bags of 50lbs of material exit the gun the pad needs changing why is my gun puffing so high I wana see answers I know why but I like other ideas
I’ve always dry ran material never ever seen or her of pre mix I love it mind blowing lol wow I feel stupid not thinking about it lol 13 years after 😂😮😅
I’m a reed slash picalo and shotcrete pump operator I love the video i like advice on on the fly pad repairs when there isn’t spare feed bowls and ware plates
The shield won't last long with that shoot rubbing on it. Looks good but you can't beat the dry process for the nozzle man. Pool guys around here use the Reed dry process machine and a volumetric truck for mix. No kick in the hose. I love my SOVA for repairs and once in a while I'll shoot with my pump that has a surge chamber,. That makes the 2.5" hose lay still.
Holy bad dream trigger lol. We had to use 4” shout out to whomever made the system and mix call sheeesh 1350 that’s A LOT OF STIX BRUH 10’ each section makes the math hella easy lmao
That pile of waste on top of the poly with the rebar on top to get lifted out is a not a good idea. That will crumble and fall on peoples heads while being craned out. Better to chip it when it hardens and dispose of it.
