How do I maintain my concrete hoses?

The durability and performance of your concrete pump hose hinge greatly on its maintenance practices. Regular inspection, appropriate storage, and handling, along with timely replacement, all play pivotal roles in ensuring optimal hose longevity. 

For effective maintenance, conducting a daily inspection of all connections before pumping is essential. Visual checks for cracks, dry-rotting, leaks, particularly at the fittings, are vital steps to ascertain the hose's durability and performance. Storing the hoses in a cool, dry area shielded from direct sunlight is recommended to prevent degradation and extend their lifespan. 

Regular Inspection 

To maintain your concrete pump hose effectively, regular inspection is indispensable. This not only aids in early detection of damage but also ensures the hose operates at its peak performance. 

Identifying visible cracks, tears, softening, or deterioration of the hose material, as well as leaks or abrasions during routine inspections, is crucial for ensuring safe and efficient operations. 

Proper Storage and Handling 

Extending the life of your concrete pump hose largely depends on proper storage and handling techniques. Storing hoses in a dry location, away from water sources and sunlight, is advised. Utilizing raised-end fittings and appropriately adjusted clamps can offer additional protection during storage. 

When handling concrete pump hoses, it's vital to: 

  • Place them gently on a supporting cradle 
  • Maintain a safe distance when they are pressurized 
  • Use personal protective equipment during handling 
  • Avoid inappropriate usage 

Adequate training and careful handling are essential to prevent damage during operations. 

How do I know when to replace and dispose of concrete hoses?

Knowing when to replace your concrete pump hose is as crucial as maintaining it. Visible signs of deterioration such as cracks, abrasions, leaks, or any other damage indicate the need for replacement. It is recommended to replace the hose every six weeks or after approximately 250 hours of use. 

When disposing of hoses, removing residual concrete, and repurposing the material for new construction projects, it is important to adopt a sustainable approach. Additionally, collecting and recycling the wash water and solids from cleaning the hoses contributes to waste reduction and sustainability in the industry.
