A concrete mixing pump is an automated construction equipment that integrates mixing, pumping, and pouring into one system. It consists of a mixing system, pumping system, hydraulic system, and control system, enabling on-site concrete mixing and direct high-pressure delivery to the pouring point, significantly improving construction efficiency.
Main Types
Truck-mounted Mixing Pump: Suitable for large-scale projects with high mobility.
Trailer-mounted Mixing Pump: Ideal for small to medium-sized construction sites, offering flexibility.
Electric/Diesel-powered Mixing Pump: Adaptable to different working environments.
Concrete mixing pumps are widely used in various construction and infrastructure projects, including:
(1) Building Construction
High-rise buildings, basements, bridges, and other concrete pouring tasks.
Replaces traditional crane + mixer setups, reducing labor dependency.
(2) Rural Construction
Village road paving, farmland irrigation systems, and small residential buildings.
Adapts to confined spaces, lowering transportation costs.
(3) Municipal Engineering
Subway, tunnel, and utility tunnel concrete delivery.
Can be paired with boom pumps for long-distance pouring.
(4) Special Environment Construction
Remote areas like mountains, plateaus, and deserts where concrete transportation is challenging.
(1) Purchase Cost
Small to medium-sized mixing pumps cost approximately $20,000–70,000 (varies by model).
Long-term use reduces per-project costs, making it ideal for frequent construction needs.
(2) Rental Cost
Daily rental fees range from $140–420, suitable for short-term projects.
However, long-term rentals may exceed the cost of purchasing.
(3) Traditional Methods (Manual Labor + Mixer + Pump Truck)
High labor costs, low efficiency, and inconsistent concrete quality.
Pump truck rentals are expensive (around ¥700–1,400 per day).
Conclusion: If construction demand is stable, purchasing a mixing pump is more cost-effective; for short-term use, renting is more flexible.
Advantages
High Efficiency & Time-Saving: Integrated mixing and pumping speeds up construction by 3–5 times.
Cost Reduction: Cuts labor, transportation, and rental expenses.
Consistent Quality: Automated mixing ensures uniform concrete.
Strong Adaptability: Works in narrow or complex terrains, minimizing site limitations.
Eco-Friendly: Reduces waste and pollution from concrete transportation.
Disadvantages
High Initial Investment (but offers long-term returns).
Requires Skilled Operators (training or hiring experienced workers is necessary).
Maintenance Costs (regular upkeep of hydraulic systems and pipelines is required).
