💡 Technical Insight

Understanding Pumped Concrete

🔬

Pumped concrete is not an ordinary mix. It's a tailor‑made combination of cement, water, fine and coarse aggregates, and flow‑enhancing additives engineered to be transported by pump rather than manual vibration.

⚡

For concrete to move freely within hoses or pipelines, the system must remain cohesive yet fluid.

Pumped Concrete Application
💧
Controlled Water Content
🎯
Optimized Particle Grading
⚗️
Specialized Admixtures
📋

Key characteristics of a pumpable mix include:

01

Tightly controlled water content

just enough to prevent segregation or bleeding.

02

Optimized particle grading

fine materials form a smooth internal "lubrication layer."

03

Balanced cement‑sand ratio

provides uniform viscosity and steady pressure.

04

Specialized admixtures

reduce friction, maintain cohesion, and keep the mix pumpable for hours.

LANDU Additives for Pumped Concrete

01

PCE Superplasticizer (PCE Flake)

High Fluidity with Lower Water Demand

Our PCE Flake is the backbone of pumpable mixes. It disperses cement particles efficiently, allowing dramatic water reduction without sacrificing flow or strength.

💪

Core benefits:

  • Promotes self‑lubricating flow through pipes
  • Prevents segregation and settlement
  • Increases both early‑age and final strength
  • Enables long‑distance pumping without clogging

Defoamer Clean Flow
02

Powder Defoamer

Clean Flow, Compact Concrete

Air bubbles create flow instability and surface defects. LANDU Powder Defoamer releases entrapped air rapidly, producing a dense, even texture during pump delivery and final placement.

💪

Advantages:

  • Reduces back‑pressure caused by air pockets
  • Eliminates pinholes and voids
  • Enhances compressive strength and finish
03

Steel Fiber

Strength That Travels

When added to pumped concrete, Steel Fiber provides key reinforcement against cracking and impact fatigue without significantly affecting pumpability.

💪

Advantages:

  • Boosts tensile and flexural performance
  • Distributes stress and delays crack formation
  • Ideal for industrial slabs, tunnel linings, and precast floors

PP Fiber Crack Control
04

Polypropylene ( PP ) Fiber

Fine Control for Surface Crack Resistance

Lightweight PP fibers limit plastic shrinkage cracks during curing and retain smoothness under thermal change.

💪

Advantages:

  • Controls surface cracking in thin sections
  • Improves impact resistance and toughness
  • Combines seamlessly with PCE for stable flow
05

Crystalline Waterproofing Additive

Water Resistance Built into the Mix

Designed for tunnels, basements, and wet foundations, this additive chemically reacts with free lime and water to form impermeable crystals inside the concrete matrix.

💪

Advantages:

  • Long‑term self‑sealing capability
  • Enhanced durability under moisture exposure
  • Resistant to corrosion and chemical attack

❓ Expert Answers

FAQs – Pumped Concrete Additives

Q1

What makes concrete pumpable?

💡

Proper grading of aggregates, low water‑cement ratio, and use of superplasticizers and defoamers to reduce friction and segregation.

Q2

Do fibers affect pumping pressure?

Not at LANDU dosages. Steel and PP fibers reinforce the matrix without impeding flow when balanced with PCE Flake.

Q3

How far can mixes be pumped with LANDU additives?

📏

Over 100 m horizontally and dozens of meters vertically, depending on mix design and equipment capacity.

Q4

Does LANDU provide technical support for pump mixes?

👨‍🔧

Yes – complete formula optimization, on‑site troubleshooting, and remote consultation are available for partners.

Q5

When will samples arrive?

🚚

We ship globally via FedEx / DHL within 5–7 working days.
