Hi
I'm pumping a pretty heavy mix of sand/lime/clay/wood pulp onto straw bales out in the antipodes in NZ.
I have a Chinese pump that's been modified to fit a 2L6 pump. (This can pump the correct aggregate size in my mix, and is available 3 days away instead of 2 or 3 weeks from china).
Kinda like this, https://gcjx.en.alibaba.com/product....html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.82.16.37bdf0e7Ef3plU
Cranked her up last week and it ran like a dreeeeam. Pumped about 10 ton of mud in 3 days with 4 dudes onsite.
When we turn it on it runs fine for a while initially, then drops in flow to less than half and the dial starts jumping up and down from zero to about 10 bar.
When I pump it out into a bucket with the air off it seems to be blowing bubbles....????
If we reverse it for a second it goes good for 30 secs then drops back to same pattern.
- the R&S holds water well so we assume it's not worn too much, my supplier says.
I have some theorys but would really appreciate your ideas
Thanks in advance
Ben
