Pumping into a Putzmeister 39Z/RS850 placing-boom setup with our Putzmiester 24Z truck mounted boom pump. Full pour video (include prime-out and blowdown procedures.
Blow it all out like a mobile pump then put sponge into placing boom then as the mobile unit is in reverse at medium to high volume and ad no more than what is required to move sponge then watch for the hoses that connect to placing to lift showing its empty. Once in the boom i bleed off residual air pressure and its all mobile side. No more than 15 psi ia required. No mess no nothing. Its GOLDEN! please give it a try youll love the process when its done. This is another great way but it leaves a situation for the site to deal with which isnt always ideal. Next time i get the opportunity to work a similar application ill also do a video and send it in. You'll love it . Great work guys!
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 I was,& Also salivating at all the shotcrete placement @ that site in the future, 😍 it's all about proper prior planning for placement. Preferably welded brackets down select soldier piles in prime locations, 👍🙌
I start up the pump with the next truck at 4 on the dial on idle. Get it to 1850 rev/m and then Gradually drag the dial to the optimum speed. It usually ends at 10. I got it to 11 once. It was dark. Could not see the numbers😢 When the truck is empty, I drag the dial down to 4 and take off the rpm before stopping the pump.
I’ve heard one particular theory, but without having first-hand knowledge and/or an engineering degree, I’m probably better off just keeping mum on the issue. It’s far, far above my pay-grade.
I understand. Super complex situation and super public place to discuss any ideas about the causes. Glad no one was hurt, and hope something gets learned so its not repeated. Thanks again for sharing, I am binge watching :)@@canadianconcretepumper1979
I’m planning on putting something together when/if we slow down for a few weeks here in the new year. It’s definitely something I’m wanting to do sooner rather than later. Stay tuned! 😁😁😁
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 oh I saw that video! My memory is just very short 😂 which seems to be a good thing in concrete pumping because I quickly forget all the horrible times. The concrete being right over the opening of the platform was so concrete pumping-ish 😂
@@bowenike yup, the hatch getting buried in about 300 pounds of concrete is fairly indicative of the types of things which happen seemingly whenever a situation is touch ‘N go 😂😂😂
We’ve been so busy with our own work lately/ I’m hoping in the new year to ride shotgun with a few different local operators on a Saturday job here and there.
Oh you misunderstood my bad, I don’t want to watch you do a ride along and have all the fun, you’re already having fun. How about a viewer gets to go on a ride along.@@canadianconcretepumper1979
Fantastic question!!!! I’m actually going to add this one to the list for our next livestream chat. So, for someone with reasonable mechanical aptitude (a must in our trade) I would say: 1-2 years to be competent 3-5 years to be good 7-10 to be great Please keep in mind these is a huge generalization and there’s so much more to factor into answering this intelligently.
Nice video scott only i must see oure concrete mixers in the netherlands are beter and nicer 😄but i like you video,s that,s super i,am a fan greetings Piet from Amsterdam the netherlands 👊🏼👍🏻
You guys in the European market seem to get all nice truck chassis options. There was as an Instagram post the other day of a brand new Putzmiester 42-5 on a Scania carrier. Absolutely gorgeous rig!!!!
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 we have M.A.N concrete mixers and 1 volvo and scania ,the pumps in the netherlands most M.A.N And Mercedes have a nice day scott 👍🏻
For commercial projects we work mostly with an independent placing/finishing contractor whom we’ve had a very close working relationship with for well over a decade now. Most of our residential pours are done with our own in-house crew, if not our own guys, another residential crew whom we’ve worked very closely with for some years as well. We prefer to stick to working with the same groups of people mostly as it just makes things that much easier and usually results in a better finished product at the end of the day.
We use a square or larger 6” round ball (didn’t have the round ball on the pump this day) when blowing out from the back end as it is a 6” opening and the standard 5” round ball will not seal in the elbow. I prefer the 6” round ball, my brother likes the square sponges. We’ll have to get him on the next live stream and he and I can hash it out with the viewers 😂😂😂
I have a question… what tow behind concrete pump would be best for pumping 1” aggregate 20-150’. I pour concrete for my self now but would be interested in buying a pump for my work and to pump other contractors residential work.
1” aggregate??? I don’t think any line pump is going to be particularly fantastic for pouring 1” rock. The pump will push it for sure, but it would make for a fairly miserable day, IMO.
@@jamessomero3617 I want one SOOOOO bad, but there’s probably other equipment which we need to update first. Also, pump company rental have increased a little, pump manufacturer equipment prices have increased a lot (especially on the truck/chassis side of things). That, coupled with the higher interest rates and relative uncertainty in the economy makes it really difficult to take the plunge and drop $$$ on a new rig. It honestly would take a too good to be true deal from Putz (😁😁😁), or a large project which would use predominantly the 28Z to justify spending the $$$.
