Product parameters

Why choose our ceramic concrete pump pipes?
Significantly reduced overall costs: Although the initial purchase cost is slightly higher than ordinary pump pipes, their exceptionally long service life (5 times longer than ordinary pipes) eliminates the need for frequent replacements. In the long run, this saves you over 50% on pipe procurement and maintenance costs.
Greatly improved equipment utilization: Reduced downtime due to pipe wear ensures your concrete pump operates efficiently 24/7, preventing delays and maximizing equipment value.
Easy installation, ready to use: Our pipes are designed to fully comply with industry standards, using flange connections for seamless integration with your existing concrete pump system. No modifications are required, making installation quick and easy.
Quality assurance, trustworthy: We strictly control every production process and conduct multiple pressure and wear resistance tests before shipment, ensuring that every pipe delivered to you is of superior quality and built to last.
Professional service, worry-free experience: We provide not only products but also services. Our professional technical team is always available to answer any questions you may have regarding installation and use, and provides comprehensive after-sales support.

Core Advantages
Exceptional Wear Resistance, Doubled Lifespan:  Utilizing high-purity alumina ceramic (Al₂O₃) with a Vickers hardness of up to HV1100-1300, the wear resistance is 5-10 times greater than that of ordinary steel pipes. This significantly extends the service life of the pipeline and greatly reduces replacement frequency.
Excellent Impact Resistance: The unique ceramic ensures a tight bond between the ceramic layer and the steel pipe substrate, retaining both the high hardness of the ceramic and the high toughness of the metal, effectively resisting the strong impact of concrete aggregates.
High Hardness, Scratch Resistance: The ceramic inner wall is smooth and dense with a low friction coefficient, effectively reducing concrete conveying resistance, preventing material buildup and blockages, and ensuring smoother pumping.
High Temperature Resistance, Strong Adaptability: Meets the needs of ultra-abrasive equipment in various complex environments.
Complete Specifications, Wide Compatibility:  Offers a series of pump pipes, including straight pipes, elbows, and reducers. Standard specifications cover common pump truck diameters such as DN100, DN125, and DN150. Customization is also available based on your specific equipment model, perfectly replacing original factory parts.

FAQ

Q1: What are ceramic concrete pump pipes?
A1: Ceramic concrete pump pipes are concrete conveying pipes made using a high-tech composite process. They use ordinary steel pipes as the outer layer base, and a layer of high-hardness, high-wear-resistant alumina ceramic is compounded onto the inner wall of the steel pipe through a special process. This ceramic lining is like a "diamond armor" for the steel pipe, greatly increasing the service life of the pipe.

Q2: How are ceramic pipes better than ordinary steel pipes?
A2: Ceramic pipes have significant advantages in the following aspects:
Longer lifespan: This is the biggest advantage. The hardness of ceramic is second only to diamond, and its wear resistance is more than 10 times that of ordinary steel pipes and 3-5 times that of wear-resistant alloy pipes. A set of high-quality ceramic pipes can transport 120,000 cubic meters or even more concrete.
More economical: Although the single-unit purchase price is slightly higher, due to the longer lifespan, the transportation cost per cubic meter of concrete is far lower than that of ordinary pipes, and it significantly reduces labor costs and downtime losses due to pipe replacement.
Lighter weight: Some designs of ceramic pipes are lighter than alloy pipes of the same specifications (can be 20%-30% lighter), reducing the load on the pump truck boom and facilitating high-altitude installation and replacement.
Smoother flow: The ceramic inner wall is extremely smooth, with a low friction coefficient, low pumping resistance, and is less prone to material buildup and blockage.

Q3:Ceramic pipes are so brittle, won't they break easily?
A3: This is a common misconception. Our ceramic pipes utilize a composite structure design:
● The outer layer is a high-toughness low-carbon steel pipe, responsible for withstanding external impacts and pressure.
● The inner layer is wear-resistant ceramic, responsible for resisting internal abrasion.
● The middle layer is a transition layer (such as rubber or special adhesive), which acts as a buffer and ensures a tight bond.
This "combination of rigidity and flexibility" structure gives the pipe both the impact resistance of steel pipes and the wear resistance of ceramics. During normal lifting and pumping operations, there is no need to worry about the ceramic layer cracking. Of course, during use and maintenance, we recommend avoiding forceful impacts on the pipe wall with hard objects.

Q4Are there any special requirements for installing ceramic pipes?
A4:The design of ceramic pipes fully complies with industry standards, and installation is very simple:
● Universal interface: The flange interface dimensions are the same as the original standard pipes, allowing for direct replacement without any modification to the pump truck boom.
● Installation direction: For elbows, there is usually a distinction between the "outer arc surface" and the "inner arc surface". Since concrete mainly wears the outer arc surface at the elbow, please ensure that the ceramic layer is located on the outer arc surface of the elbow during installation to achieve the best wear resistance.
● Connection and tightening: As with ordinary pipes, use pipe clamps or flanges for connection, and ensure that the bolts are tightened evenly diagonally.

Q5:How long does it take to ship after purchase?
A5:We usually have a large stock of products, especially standard specifications (such as DN125, DN150 straight pipes and common elbows). After your payment is confirmed, we can usually arrange shipment within 3 business days to ensure your project schedule is not affected. For non-standard customized products, the production cycle will depend on the specific drawings.
