SCHWING ADVANCES CONCRETE PUMP TECHNOLOGY Generation III 2000

In a move designed to add even more performance to the product line, Schwing has integrated new technology into the Generation III concrete pumps with a new cooling system. Hydraulic oil temperature drops of more than 45 degrees Fahrenheit have been recorded with the new design resulting in higher operating efficiencies. The Schwing open loop hydraulic system already enjoys significant advantages according to the manufacturer. Open loop systems clean and cool 100 percent of the hydraulic fluid constantly compared to 40 percent of closed loop designs. Hydraulic component life is typically tripled with the Schwing open loop system.

The low-pressure, low flow cooler actually draws oil through the heat exchanger and cycles it from tank to cooler to tank which also eliminates high-pressure spikes. This prevents added heat caused by pressurizing the hydraulic oil. Cooler hydraulic oil allows the concrete pump to maintain its performance and efficiency even in high ambient temperatures or high volume operation. The Generation III design utilizes all-hydraulic switching to eliminate any downtime caused by electronic solenoids becoming contaminated in the harsh concrete environment.

Schwing Generation III concrete pumps utilize the patented Rock Valve which offers low cost maintenance per yard of operation and easy change-out of wear parts. The new E-Rock is available for harsh mixes that feed smoothly with an extended manifold and housing.
