INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Delivery Hose

A flexible hose designed to transport wet concrete or mortar from the shotcrete machine to the application surface under high pressure.

Component Specifications

Definition
The delivery hose is a critical component of shotcrete machines, engineered to withstand high-pressure pumping of abrasive concrete mixtures. It consists of multiple layers including an inner wear-resistant tube, reinforcement layers (typically steel wire or textile braiding), and an outer protective cover. These hoses are designed to maintain flexibility while resisting abrasion, pressure surges, and environmental factors during concrete spraying operations in construction and tunneling applications.
Working Principle
The delivery hose operates by creating a continuous, sealed conduit that transfers pneumatically or hydraulically propelled concrete from the machine's pumping system to the nozzle. Its flexible construction allows for maneuverability during application while maintaining structural integrity under internal pressures ranging from 10-30 bar. The reinforcement layers provide burst resistance, while the smooth inner lining minimizes friction and material buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should shotcrete delivery hoses be replaced?

Replacement depends on usage intensity and material abrasiveness, typically every 300-500 operating hours or when inner diameter wear exceeds 10%. Regular inspection for cracks, bulges, or stiffness is recommended.

Can different brand hoses be used interchangeably on shotcrete machines?

Yes, if they match the connection specifications (flange type, thread size) and pressure ratings. However, optimal performance requires matching the hose's flexibility and abrasion resistance to the machine's operating parameters.

What causes premature hose failure in shotcrete applications?

Common causes include excessive pressure surges, improper storage (kinking), UV exposure, chemical degradation from concrete additives, and inadequate cleaning leading to material buildup and hardening.
