Next Monday a challenge between a putz and a schwing 1200 m³ bridge deck whit a harsh mix. Last poor of 300 m³ a rookie on a 42m putz had trouble pumping it. His problem was he had never learnt to listen to his machine and did all on EOC and EBC.

i am realy curious about the outcome. so let us know will you?

And pictures + video's!! Where is the bridge?

That was a real nice one ! Thanks for that. If I see this I miss you guys and those big yellow bananas ;-) But only just a bit ;-)   Looked like you and bob were enjoying yourself ;-)

The schwing won because of the bigger barrels of that unit. The problem with the mix was the pressure build up with the change of stroke. The schwing made less strokes on the same volume. The max output on the pumps was about 60/70 m³ an hour at an oil pressure of 200. We used 600 liter of fuel for 1150m³. rookie used 300 liter on 300m³

nice tip hose.

Yes , I noticed that too..... Shame you couldn't convince Bob to switch endhose for such a big job.

To change tip hose you need to have one whit you

Yess. And you have :-)  You are one of a few in Holland i believe.. Maybe its concretepumping.com that made you a wize man??  I did become a lot more carefull since I hang around here...

And an anglegrinder does miracales to!! haha.. Specialy to martijns mood when you come home and ask for a new tiphose ;-)
