9.3 Operation

1 The operator must be properly instructed and must have a thorough

knowledge of the operation of the concrete pump and the sprinkler arm.
2 The operator should familiarize himself with the properties of concrete and
how those properties affect the operation of the concrete pump .
3 In cold weather do not attempt to operate the concrete pump before the
hydraulic fluid has reached 20 °C in the tank.
• Failure to follow this measure can result in serious harm.
• Keep the diesel engine idling to raise the temperature of the hydraulic
oil, so the fluid will remain circulating in the system.
4 The concrete spray work area can be dangerous.
• Be careful about the height of the equipment and arm with respect to
electrical cables, cranes, structures or other aerial obstacles in the
work area.
• It must be traveled at low speed on uneven and unpaved terrain.
• Check the firmness and dryness of the terrain before taking the
equipment to unfamiliar terrain to ensure the stability of the equipment
during operation.
• Do not drive in an area just because someone has instructed you to
do so.
• Do not drive near excavations that could collapse because of the
weight and vibration of the equipment.
• If you do not consider the area to be safe, do not drive to it.
5 Consider some important factors when positioning the concrete pump on
the job site:
• First, the lower the pumping distance, the better the concrete
will be delivered and the lower the pump stress.
• Second, to provide uninterrupted concrete delivery , park equipment
in an area that is accessible to at least two hopper trucks and enough
room to maneuver. both trucks during delivery and removal.
• Third, level the concrete pump on firm ground with the help of the
equipment stabilizers .

• In shorter concrete lines a smaller amount is adequate.
9 Keep your hands and any objects away from the pump hopper while it is
running-
10 Never pour concrete over the hopper without the protective grid being
down.
11 Monitor the concrete from the supply truck, verifying that there is no dry or
unmixed concrete, sticks, pieces of metal or any other foreign object.
12 Do not stay near the arm's spray nozzle while it is operating under
pressure.
13 Do not increase the engine speed to clear blockages in the concrete line
.
• This will only make the blockage worse.
• Clearly identify where the blockage is located before pumping
again .
14 Make sure that the seals on all valves and hose gaskets do not leak
water.
• Water leaks cause a separation in the mixture and a subsequent
blockage accordingly.
15 Do not use hoses with flow restrictions inside.
• Such restrictions may cause blockages.
• Keep all delivery hoses as straight as possible.
• Eliminate hose curves whenever possible.

PROCEDURE 6: Check the pressure and condition of the tires

Tires require a pressure of 90 PSI. Make sure that the inflation device used for this
purpose is able to provide this pressure range.

Note
The air pressure gauge must be calibrated at least once a year. The indicator may
result in damaged results and display incorrect values if:
- Indicator drops/ hits
- The maximum limit of the indicator is exceeded.

The tire pressure measurement interval should be at most every 2 weeks. A

normal pressure drop during this service period fluctuates between 4 and 7 PSI.
Since tyres with diagonal fabric dilate slightly after the first inflation and normal
use, the first pressure loss will be greater than the rest.

A reduced outside temperature should be taken into account. A temperature

reduction of 10°C reduces the pressure by 5 PSI. Normal inflation pressure should
be increased when using tyres at temperatures below 5 °C.

PROCEDURE 2: Perform a basic engine overhaul

To minimize downtime, it is recommended to periodically check the engine before it

fails. In this way, you will maximize the performance of it.
Reducing operating hours at maximum load will in turn reduce the average power
demanded. This reduction in turn leads to an increase in engine durability and
overhaul interval .
The need for an overhaul is usually indicated by an increase in fuel consumption
and a reduction in power.
The following factors should be taken into account when planning an engine
overhaul:
The need for preventive maintenance The
quality of the fuel used
Operating conditions

PROCEDURE 3: Purge the air from the emergency/parking brakes

To ensure smooth operation of the emergency/parking brake, it is important that the

hydraulic system is completely free of air. Air can enter the system, for example,
when replacing or repairing components and in case of leaks.
The brake is released by hydraulic pressure. If the system contains air, this causes
the pressure to be reduced and the brake not to be released properly, or to be
applied after a delay. Therefore, the braking circuit must be purged after each repair,
or whenever there are failures in the brake system.
With the engine running and the emergency/parking brake released:

1 SHOTCRETE SPRINKLER ARM

1.1 Technical information

GENERAL
This sprinkler arm has been specially developed for the mechanized projection of
concrete. the whole assembly has been designed and manufactured for optimal
durability, which has resulted in a robust structure that allows the owner to maximize
the productivity in the operating process and minimize product lifecycle costs.

The base of this unit is composed of a rotation system based on a rack and pinion
mechanism, which is hydraulically driven and allows the assembly to rotate in a range
of 180°. The telescopic arm is composed of three sections, the first unit is fixed and
the two consecutive units are mobile units, which move linearly thanks to to two
hydraulic cylinders responsible for the extension of the arm.

The last section of the arm corresponds to the robotic projection head, which is
composed at its base of two hydraulically operated rotational actuators that allow the
head rotate horizontally and vertically in 360° and 120° respectively, adjacent to these
is the spray nozzle.

In order to improve the performance of the arm during the process of mechanized
concrete projection, the assembly has an automated control of the rotation of the
nozzle, in order to allow the equipment operator to concentrate on the quality of the
spraying process.

Manual of Operation

Note
Use passive formalette oil on steel structures. Passive form oils offer an oil film
that creates a barrier between the concrete and the structure.

Danger!
To prevent the concrete from adhering to the surfaces of the machine only use oilis
developed for this purpose, never use discarded oils or diesel fuel, since they are
highly flammable compounds and could cause a fire.

Precaution
In case your equipment is equipped with the optional kit of re- troceso sensors you
should be careful not to direct the oil under pressure towards ist and about 1 meter
away. Do not spray directly on the sensors.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Technical description

1.1.1 Wet process

With the wet process, it is easy to obtain a uniform quality mixture suitable for the
spraying process.
During the wet process, aggregate, cement, water and other additives are
weighed, and a premix is usually made in the dosing plant before the transport.
The wet mixture is transported with a concrete mixer truck to prevent the concrete
from separating. The concrete is discharged into place by turning the drum of the
concrete mixer in the opposite direction. After unloading, a complete cleaning of
the concrete mixer system must be carried out.
The advantages of the wet track process is a lower rebound of material on the
surface, compared to other concrete processes , dust-related problems are reduced
present in the work, thinner layers of material due to the materials of the mixture,
good resistance to compression and reduced variations in the application, more
economical compared to other processes due to greater efficiency in the use of
material.

1.1.2 Pumped concrete

The pumping capacity of concrete basically depends on the stability of the mixture. A
stable mixture prevents separation and blockage of ducts and hoses. Secondly, the
mobility of the concrete has to be necessary for the pumping resistance to be
reasonable.
If an excess of materials is used, the cast concrete develops a sticky and rubbery
consistency. This can also cause a blockage.
If the mixture is missing enough fine material or some certain particle size, the
mixture is easily separated. As a result, the coarse particles will clog the hose and
the fine material and water will be expelled from the mixture.
Because of this, the concrete used is relatively thin, since it has a sufficient amount
of cement to cover all the grains, and to lubricate the pumping. The normal content of
cement is between 400 and 500 kg per m3. The sand content should be between 5 -
10% material, the grain size should be < 0.125 mm. This fraction should never be
less than 3%.

100089958 1-12 IT 1015 alro 417

Manual of Operation

1.1.3 Accelerators

During the spraying process the shotcrete is pumped through pipes and hoses,
due to which it must have a light consistency that allows it, however in the spray
nozzle is added a setting accelerant that allows the mixture to acquire the
necessary consistency to adhere to the wall.
The setting accelerant is added along with the air to the concrete flow in the spray
nozzle . In the fraction of a second during which the concrete is fired approx. 1
meter through the air, the concrete reaches the necessary consistency to stick to the
surface of the rock in thick layers.
The standard accelerator for wet shotcrete is an alkaline-free product. The use of
sodium silicate as an accelerator reduces the compression strength of 28 days by
around 30% compared to concrete without an accelerator. This reduction is quite
constant within the practical range of throttle dosing . Normally the dosage varies
between 5 and 10% of the weight of the cement, sometimes reaching 15%. Air-
cured samples show a proportional reduction in solidity with increased throttle dosage.

1.1.4 Concrete pump

A piston pump is used to pump the concrete through the supply duct to the nozzle.
The compressed air is injected into the nozzle to allow projection into a large
surface area and a setting accelerator is added.
The concrete pump is driven through a hydraulic pump, which is connected to
either a diesel or electric motor and is responsible for transforming mechanical
energy in hydraulics and thus energize the concrete pumping device. The pistons
responsible for driving the concrete are connected to the stems of the differential
hydraulic cylinders, which extend and retract hydraulically, displacing at the same
time back and forth to the pistons responsible for pumping the concrete through the
transport tubes .
Concrete pumps can also be used for other applications such as concrete injection
for rock bolts . The water/cement mixture must be pumpable, which means that a
water/cement ratio is needed that can be detrimental to the quality of the concrete. In
this case, special additives can be used to improve pumping capacity without
increasing the water content.
When rapid setting is needed , the wet concrete method with accelerants can often
be the best solution. However, it should be noted that setting accelerators reduce
the mechanical strength of the sprayed layer.

1.1.5 Arm

The sprinkler arm has been specially developed for the mechanized projection of
concrete, the whole set has been designed and manufactured to last, which has
resulted in in a robust structure that allows the owner to maximize productivity in the
operating process and minimize product lifecycle costs.
The base of this unit is composed of a rotation system based on a rack and pinion
mechanism, which is hydraulically driven and allows the assembly to rotate in a range
of 180°. The telescopic arm is composed of three sections, the first unit is fixed and
the two consecutive units are mobile units, which move linearly thanks to to two
hydraulic cylinders responsible for the extension of the arm.

1.2 Technical data

1.2.1 Concrete pump NSP 30

The robust concrete pump is designed for reliable operation in extreme conditions.
The double piston pump with theoretical output of 30 m3/h, has tubes for material
transport of 200mm in diameter and large suction openings that they guarantee
good suction and minimal pulsation.
A high pumping pressure allows the transport of concrete with a wide range of
densities. It handles mixtures with aggregates up to 16mm and different types of
fibers with a maximum length of 60mm). The concrete pump is also equipped with a
hydraulically driven mixing agitator .

1.5 Operation

1.5.1 Calculation

Cement quantity Z = kg/m³

Accelerator quantity BE = %
Accelerator density BE = kg/dm³

Concrete volume V°BET = m³/hour

Cement mass m°z
Accelerator mass m°BE
Throttle volume V°BE

Cement mass:
m°z = Z x V° BET = kg/m³ x m³/h x h/60 min = kg/min

Accelerator mass:
mo°BE = (mo°z x BE%) / 100 % = kg/min x %/100% = kg/min

Accelerator volume:
V°BE = m°BE / BE = kg/min x dm³/kg = dm³/min

In practice, the amount of accelerator may vary depending on:

• The results of the test application
• The skill of the operator
• The surface
• The water/cement ratio
Example
:
Cement quantityZ =400 kg/m³ Accelerator
quantityBE =5 %
Accelerator density BE = 1.32 kg/dm³
Concrete volumeV°BET = 10 m³/hour

Cement mass:
m°z = Z x V°BET =400 kg/m³ x 10m³/h x h/60 min* =66,7 kg/min
*where "h/60" is applied to convert hours to minutes.

Accelerator mass:
m°BE = (m°z x BE%) / 100 % = 66,7 kg/min x 5 % /100% =3,335 kg/min

Accelerator volume:
V°BE = m°BE / BE = 3,335 kg/min / 1,32 dm³/kg = 2,53 dm³/min
Operate the throttle pump and set the throttle amount to 2.53 dm³/min.

6 Check the correct operation of the controls.

1.5.4 Formation of a shotcrete block

1 A properly washed and watertight supply duct is the best guarantee

against the formation of a blockage.
2 Do not use supply ducts with internal restrictions.
• Keep the supply ducts as straight as possible.
• Remove duct push-ups when possible.
3 Make sure that the couplings responsible for assembling tubes and hoses
do not leak water.
• This causes separation in the mixture and a subsequent blockage.
4 Below are some causes of blockage.
• The concrete discharge line is not sufficiently wet
• S-tube leaks
• Inadequate composition of concrete
• Separate concrete
• Concrete set.
5 Find out where the blockage occurs and remove it.

3 REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING

3.1 Guide to programming proportional movements

The programming process of the wireless remote control consists of establishing the
ranges within which a certain proportional movement will be included.

The programming of the control as shown in the previous image, seeks to establish
the location of point A and point B, taking into consideration that the sensitivity of the
movement proportional shall be determined by the distance between point A and
point B.

It should be taken into consideration that the more distance there is between points A
and B, the greater the permissible range of motion, and therefore a fine sensitivity will
be obtained. On the contrary, if the proximity between points A and B is minimal, the
sensitivity of the control will be regulated in a thick way.

100089958 1-12 IT 1015 alro 531

 Manual of Operation

However, the speed of movement is controlled by the location of point A and point B,
with respect to the negative and positive poles. Considering that the closer these
points are to the negative end, the movement will tend towards the minimum possible
speed and on the contrary if it is close to the positive end, it will tend to the maximum
possible speed.

Note
The recommended regulation for optimal equipment performance and a long
service life is a location at point A, as close as possible to the negativepole, so that
the beginning of the movement is slow, and a point B near the center, so that the
terminal speed is not excessive.

described above.

Once you insert the key, turn it in favor of the hands of the clock in 180º
until you can fix the key in the "P" position, as indicated in the previous
image. Once this is done the device will emit an audible signal for a few
seconds while trying to establish communication with the receiver, once
this is done, the control remote will confirm the link by emitting an audible
signal accompanied by the flashing flashing of the green light of the control,
the latter will remain flashing for as long as the sender stays connected
to the receiver.

Note
The red key should only be used during the programming process of the control remoto,
it should never be utilized for the operation of the equipment.

2 Once the connection process is complete, operate the start switch

forward, in order to activate the operation of the remote control. Once
this is done, the receiver located inside the equipment will emit an audible
signal, indicating that it is ready to be operated.
• At this point in the instruction you are in a position to begin the
regulation of the four proportional movements of the equipment: lift,
extension, rotation from the arm base and additive pump speed.

In case the grease level switch is not working and the pump has been running
completely empty, it may be necessary to purge the air from the system. To remove
the air proceed as described:
1 Fill the pump through the grease point until the grease piston reaches
the maximum limit indicated on the label.
2 Unscrew the output indicated in the illustration.
• Keep the outlet open until grease flows without air bubbles.
3 Operate the lubrication system manually from the board located on the
side of the grease pump as shown in the illustration.
4 Wait for fat to start coming out without air bubbles. Once the lubrication
system has stopped, screw the plug back into its original position. In
case the lubrication system has stopped and air bubbles still occur,
activate the lubrication system again until it comes out only fat.
