There are several factors that can lead to increased wear of Concrete Piston.
First, the properties of concrete are an important factor. If the aggregate hardness of the concrete is high, the particle shape is sharp, or the concrete mix ratio is unreasonable, resulting in poor fluidity and high friction, the piston will be more strongly worn during the pumping process.
The pressure and speed of the pumping will also have an impact. Excessive pumping pressure will increase the load on the piston and increase the friction between it and the cylinder. Too fast pumping speed will also increase the wear of the piston because frequent reciprocating motion increases the frequency of friction.
Insufficient lubrication between the piston and the cylinder is one of the common causes of increased wear. If the lubrication system fails and cannot provide enough lubricating oil or grease, the piston will be in a dry friction or semi-dry friction state during movement, thereby accelerating wear.
The harshness of the working environment should not be ignored. For example, working in a hot and dusty environment will affect the heat dissipation and sealing effect of the piston, resulting in increased wear. At the same time, long-term continuous work without giving the piston enough rest and cooling time will also make it more susceptible to wear.
If the material and manufacturing process of the piston are not good, its wear resistance will be poor. For example, insufficient hardness of the material and rough surface treatment will not be able to withstand the wear during concrete pumping.
In addition, if the concrete contains corrosive chemicals, it will also cause corrosion and wear to the piston, weakening its structural strength and wear resistance.
For example, if the concrete pumped is made of high-hardness granite aggregate, and the pumping pressure is always at a high level, and the lubrication system is insufficiently supplied with oil, then the wear of the Concrete Piston will increase rapidly and may need to be replaced in a short time.
For another example, in the hot summer, the construction environment temperature is very high, and the piston works continuously without stopping, coupled with the poor fluidity of the concrete itself, this series of unfavorable factors will work together to greatly shorten the service life of the piston and make it wear far beyond the normal level.
In summary, the nature of concrete, pumping pressure and speed, lubrication, working environment, piston material and manufacturing process, and chemical substances in concrete, etc., may lead to increased wear of Concrete Piston. In practical applications, these factors need to be considered comprehensively and corresponding measures need to be taken to reduce wear and extend the service life of the piston.
