Hopper Capacity of HBT Series Trailer Concrete Pumps

The HBT series trailer concrete pumps have become an indispensable piece of equipment in modern construction projects. From high-rise buildings to road construction and tunnel engineering, the HBT series ensures reliable long-distance concrete delivery under various working conditions.

HAOMEI Machinery's trailer-mounted concrete pumps are available with both diesel and electric power systems, catering to different job site power conditions. The electric models typically feature motors rated between 90-110 kW, while the diesel versions are equipped with renowned engines such as Deutz.

The HBT series commonly adopts the "S-valve" design, which provides excellent sealing and switching performance. This configuration allows the pump to handle a wide range of concrete mixes, including those containing gravel, and enables vertical pumping up to 200 meters and horizontal pumping up to 1,000 meters.

Advantages of HBT Series Trailer Concrete Pumps

1. Efficient Concrete Delivery

Thanks to the trailer-mounted design and advanced hydraulic pumping system, the HBT series enables continuous horizontal and vertical delivery of concrete. This reduces downtime and significantly improves construction efficiency.

2. High Versatility

HBT pumps are suitable for various construction scenarios, including high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, and road works. They can handle different concrete formulations-from standard concrete to high-strength and self-compacting types-making them a flexible choice for contractors.

3. Durable and Low Maintenance

The series features robust steel components, wear-resistant hopper liners, and high-quality hydraulic systems. With proper maintenance, the equipment ensures a long service life and minimizes operational breakdowns.

4. Cost-Effective

HBT pumps optimize labor usage, reduce concrete waste, and shorten project timelines. This makes them a highly economical solution for both small- and large-scale construction projects.

5. User-Friendly Design

Features such as mixers, flow control gates, and intuitive control systems make operation easier for site workers, reducing the risk of blockages and ensuring stable concrete flow.

HBT Series Models and Hopper Capacities

The HBT series trailer concrete pumps come in multiple models to suit different project scales and productivity requirements. Each model features a specific hopper capacity, hydraulic configuration, and pumping power. Generally, the larger the model, the greater its delivery capacity and pumping pressure-ideal for large or high-rise projects.

Factors Affecting Hopper Capacity in HBT Series Concrete Pumps

Several factors influence the effective hopper capacity and performance of HBT series pumps:

1. Pump Model

As shown above, different models-such as HBT40, HBT60, and HBT80-come with varying hopper sizes. Choosing the right model depends on your project scale and the required concrete output rate.

2. Concrete Slump

The slump, which measures the concrete's flowability, directly affects discharge speed. Low-slump concrete (stiffer mix) may require careful monitoring to prevent blockages, while high-slump concrete flows more easily but demands faster pumping speeds to maintain consistency.

3. Additives and Aggregate Size

The inclusion of additives or large aggregates impacts hopper efficiency. Oversized aggregates may clog the hopper outlet or delivery pipeline, reducing effective capacity. Proper material control ensures smooth operation and optimal pumping performance.

4. Maintenance and Wear

Hopper capacity can also be affected by wear and tear. Corrosion, deformation, or buildup inside the hopper can reduce its effective volume and hinder performance. Regular inspection and maintenance are vital for maintaining optimal capacity and system reliability.
