The most important component of a two-piston concrete pump is the concrete valve. Under high pressure, it switches between the two delivery cylinders and ensures that the flow of concrete from the delivery cylinders into the outlet is as friction-free as possible. With the unique ROCK valve, all concrete pumps from SCHWING have a concrete valve, which is characterized by extremely low wear, a long service life and a very good cleaning ability.

The DirectDrive developed by SCHWING engineers is a completely new drive concept for the boom elements of a truck-mounted concrete pump. Instead of a hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic rotary actuator is installed in the joint, allowing for boom movements that were unthinkable until now. This grants the third boom element a remarkable opening angle of 330°, while the fourth boom element can endlessly rotate through a full 360°.

The use of truck-mounted concrete pumps in halls and in front of buildings with retracted boom, requires much experience and permanent attention. The more flexible and easier it is to operate the boom of a concrete pump, the quicker and more safe such demanding concreting tasks can be mastered. Therefore, the 5-section Reptor boom has particularly large opening angles at the joints D and E, which allow an extraordinary mobility of the boom.

The DynaRig support system from SCHWING is a Smart control system that easily and intuitively assists with the challenges of stability and reach in confined spaces on construction sites. With its intelligent control system, DynaRig checks within the physical system limits, what maximum reach is possible, for a given extension situation of the stabilisers.

SCHWING Telematics is the new solution for managing your data and infrastructure. SCHWING partners with Trackunit, a web-based solution that offers an integrated platform for networking vehicles and machines in the construction industry. All important machine data is collected and processed by our VECTOR control system.

For economic and safe concrete pumping in building construction, stationary pumps and separate placing booms are used worldwide. The EcoClean process from SCHWING-Stetter enables the use of all the concrete in the pipeline. This reduces material and disposal costs and increases the efficiency of the concrete installation.

With the new SCHWING hybrid technology, concrete pumping is carried out electrically or, if required, with a proven Diesel drive. In electric mode, the concrete pump draws its power externally. You can choose between the 32 A, 63 A and 125 A connection types commonly used on construction sites.

All Schwing concrete pumps come standard with Symmetrical Switching, which provides faster switching of the Rock Valve, for a smoother and quieter operation. While Symmetrical Switching is great for everyday pumping, the benefits are greater when pumping stiff mixes that generate higher concrete pressures.

The poppet valve system (STVE) developed by SCHWING is used for pumping fine-grained, pasty sludge with SCHWING sludge pumps. With the valve system, output rates of up to 230 m³/h and a continuous output pressure of up to 150 bar can be achieved.
