See how using Fritz-Pak's Slick-Pak concrete pump primer will prevent a concrete pump blowout or other concrete pump failure.
As a concrete pump operator, you know how important it is to protect your equipment from expensive damage, but you may not be aware of the connection between improper priming and the need for concrete pump repair.
When concrete moves through the pump lines, the metal walls of the line can absorb moisture from the mix - drying out the mix. Dry concrete is harder to move and can increase the pressure in your pump line or even plug the line completely.
Using a concrete pump primer is the easiest way to prevent this from happening, but not all pump priming materials are made the same. Many people think that using plain water will provide sufficient protection, but this simply isn’t the case.
Water lacks the viscosity needed to coat the inside of the pipe. Only Slick-Pak has been specially formulated to create a highly viscous priming material that will coat all around your pumping lines and allow the concrete to slide through easily. Not only does this prevent plugs in the pipe, but it can also reduce the pressure in the lines.
This video provides a visual representation of priming your concrete pump with water and Fritz-Pak Slick-Pak. You’ll be able to see the significant difference between the two priming materials and hopefully gain a better understanding of why choosing the right primer for your next concrete pumping job is so important.
