Concrete pump types

The portable concrete mixer with pump is the cheapest of the three, which can be divided into electric and diesel concrete mixer pump. The difference is that the power source of the hydraulic system is provided by the motor or the diesel engine. It can realize concrete mixing and pumping at the same time.

The truck mounted concrete pump is based on the trailer line pump with the increase of a movable chassis. The pumping system has its own separate power source. In other respects, the effect is similar to that of a trailer pump such as the pipeline installation.

The long boom concrete pump has a fast driving speed and is controlled by the wireless remote control system. It does not need pipelines, so it can start working as soon as it arrives at the construction site, shortening the construction period.

What’s your need

Your project decides which equipment is right for you.For example, to repair tunnels and mines, the concrete mixer with pump is very suitable. The horizontal pumping distance of the concrete mixing pump is long, and the ambient sound when the motor pump is working is relatively small.

The long boom concrete truck also has a different working range according to the length of the boom. For example, those within 38 meters are suitable for concrete pouring of some small buildings with floors below 10 floors. At the same time, for bridge construction and small residential construction, the maneuverability of the concrete pump truck is also the most convenient.

Aluminum plate for ship deck

 

The Function of Ship Deck

The ship deck is composed of aluminum plates and frameworks, playing an important role in ensuring the strength and unsinkability of the hull, and providing an area for arranging various cabins and mechanical equipment. The deck divides the ship into upper and lower parts. The part above the main deck is collectively called the superstructure; the part below the main deck is called the main hull.



The deck parts of ships are prone to water collection and condensation, subject to wind and rain erosion, sun exposure and directly in contact with the atmosphere. Therefore, the ship deck is first to required to have excellent corrosion resistance and water resistance.

In addition, due to personnel activities and mechanical operations, the deck is often subject to trampling friction and rolling wear, and it also needs frequent cleaning because of the contamination of various oily, acid and alkaline media. Therefore, the ship deck material should have good slip resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Haomei marine grade aluminum plate meets those requirements.

Aluminum Alloy Plates for Moss LNG Tank

 Non-renewable resources such as oil and natural gas will become more and more precious. The transportation method of natural gas mainly depends on the length of the transportation distance. Under normal circumstances, short-distance liquefied natural gas transportation of less than 1000 km is transported by pressurized pipelines, and Moss LNG tank ships are used for the transport of more than 3000 km.

The recently developed LNG carrier can increase the capacity by more than 4 to 10 times on the basis of traditional carriers. LNG carriers need to first load natural gas in liquid form obtained by liquefying natural gas at a temperature below minus 162 ℃ into the storage tank for transportation.

The most important thing to manufacture an LNG carrier is the choice of the raw material of LNG storage tanks and ships. There are some basic requirements:

aluminum alloy plates for moss lng tank.jpg

1. In the working temperature range, the expansion coefficient of the cabin material should be small, and with temperature changes, the expansion coefficient changes little. The aluminium alloy plate for Moss LNG tank meets such requirements.

2. The raw material should have a certain low temperature impact toughness value (Cv), or low temperature plastic brittle turning point temperature. In actual use, the requirements for the Cv value are getting higher and higher.

3. It must have good adaptability to impact load and cyclic load, and be able to withstand impact and fatigue.

4. At low temperatures, it should have higher strength and good elongation plasticity.

5. In addition to the above requirements for materials, there are also special requirements for the formability and welding performance of the materials.

At present the materials that can be used for LNG storage tanks or transport ships are Ni36 Invar alloy, Ni9% steel, and aluminum alloys such as aluminum alloy 5083, 5183, and 5383. Ni36 Invar alloy and Ni9% steel have excellent performance, but they are not suitable for large-scale use due to their high price and high density. Aluminum alloy is the best material for manufacturing storage cabins of LNG shipsdue to its good low-temperature properties.

As for the the choice of the aluminum alloys, Haomei Aluminum, a big aluminium tanker plate manufacturer, has rich alloys for the LNG tank and LNG ship manufacturer to choose from.

Why Do We Choose Aluminum Plate for Tankers

 The aluminum plate for tankers hjhas been a very common choice. Th shape, structure and alloys of the tanker are usually determined according to the different materials to be transported, but the most important thing is that the material does not chemically react with the liquid and does not corrode aluminum.

With the same weight of the chassis, the weight of the aluminum plate for tank truck becomes the decisive factor affecting the overall weight of the vehicle. For this reason, as long as aluminum sheets have no effect on the quality of the transported materials, aluminum plates must be welded to reduce the quality of the vehicle, achieving the purpose of energy saving, emission reduction, consumption reduction and environmental protection.
