Refractory concrete is a special type of material that can withstand extremely high temperatures and is resistant to degradation in industrial environments. It is commonly used in industries such as cement, metallurgy, energy, chemical and others.

One of the most robust installation systems is pumping. Pumping refractory concrete, which we call Pumpcrete, is a process that requires specific technical knowledge and appropriate machinery. Pumping requires proper handling of the material and the equipment itself, avoiding overexertion and ensuring quality.

For the pumping process of refractory concrete, high pressure positive displacement pumps, often piston pumps, are generally used. These pumps are capable of working with refractory concrete and can generate the necessary pressure to move the dense refractory concrete through the pipes, up to 120 m in height.

In addition, it is crucial that the entire pumping system is kept clean and in good working order. Refractory concrete can be quite abrasive, and if not properly maintained, the equipment involved in the process can suffer wear and tear or damage.

Finally, after pumping, refractory concrete needs adequate curing time before being subjected to high temperature conditions. During this period, the concrete hardens.

Pumping refractory concrete is therefore a complex process that requires a careful approach and a good understanding of the properties of the material and the operation of the equipment involved.
