TWIN 900 XL PIPE SERIES

We have specially developed the ESSER TWIN 900 XL series for pipe systems on the boom of a concrete pump. Concrete pump pipes can experience increased wear after the conveying flow of concrete changes direction or goes through bends. That’s why ESSER TWIN 900 XL pipes have a reinforced inlet collar which counteracts this wear load and can last up to 10 times longer than unhardened pipes. 

Frequently-Asked Questions 

How do changes in the direction of the flow weaken the pipelines on the boom of a concrete pump?

Changes in the direction of concrete flow create high-impact zones where concrete collides with the pipe walls, making wear more likely. When bends in the boom of a concrete pump force concrete to change direction, pipes experience increased turbulence and pressure in vulnerable areas. Over time, these effects can lead to uneven wear patterns, which can make bends and pipes more likely to fail over time.

With every change of concrete flow direction, pipes experience changes in stress and pressure, which weakens their structural integrity and ability to withstand highly abrasive concrete. This constant switch between compression and tension can lead to fatigue cracks, leaks, or even dangerous and catastrophic pipe failures. That’s why reinforcing these high-stress areas is so important to keep your pumping system running longer and more reliably. 

How are the ESSER TWIN XL pipes designed to reduce the wear load of concrete delivered from a concrete pump?

One key feature of the ESSER TWIN XL pipes is a reinforced inlet collar which reduces wear load by providing a hardened surface that absorbs the initial impact of incoming concrete. This reinforcement helps distribute the abrasive forces of the concrete more evenly. By reducing this abrasion, pipes are less likely to thin in certain vulnerable areas and are more likely to last longer. The collar also acts as a protective buffer, reducing direct stress on the boom’s main pipeline.

By maintaining smooth concrete flow, the ESSER TWIN XL pipes can minimize turbulence and pressure fluctuations. This stability leads to more consistent pumping performance, lower maintenance needs, and a reduced risk of pipeline failure for a safer overall concrete pumping system.
