GENERAL INFORMATION
CONCRETE MIX DESIGN
Mix design is most important to achieve maximum pumpability.
Pumpability is affected by, among other factors, the type and
gradation of aggregate used. Natural aggregates make a more
workable mix and pump more readily than crushed aggregates.
A blend of natural and crushed aggregates will produce a
workable mix. The type and gradation of aggregates is equally
important for workability as the size and percentage of coarse
aggregates in the mix.
The term “aggregates” describes all of the solid materials, from
the largest rock to the smallest grain of sand, contained in the
concrete mix.
Concrete mixes with a consistency as dry as one-inch slump
and as wet as ten-inch slump have been pumped; but for
maximum efficiency from the pump, a slump ranging from two to
six inches will produce a more workable mix than one that
contains more or less water.
The principle of concrete pumping is based on self-lubrication.
As it moves through the transfer line, the concrete takes the
shape of a plastic cylinder. It is forced through the transfer line on
a film of mortar that is self-troweled to the service of the transfer
line around its full periphery by the slug of concrete itself.
A slump rating should be used with discretion; it is not always a
real indication of the pumpability of the mix. The concrete may
be workable in the sense that it will readily flow into place, but
the same mix may not respond to pressure. Overly wet mixes
tend to separate. In addition to affecting the strength and quality
of the concrete, the delivery system will not tolerate separation.
Overly dry mixes are similarly unsatisfactory if they lack plasticity
and tend to be crumbly. To be properly pumped, the mix must be
able to continuously coat the inside of the line with a lubricating
seal of mortar.
There are four ways in which this seal can be lost:
1.By pumping excessively wet mixes which do not have
enough cohesion to hold together.
2.By pumping harsh undersanded concrete with poorly graded
aggregates which can jam together when the pressure
becomes too great for the insufficient amount of sand to
hold the aggregates apart.
3.By getting a rock pocket, such as mixer tailings, into the
pump valve. This rock pocket will have an insufficient coating
of mortar and the mix will not be plastic enough to allow the
valve to operate or the mix to move in the line.
4.Through excessive bleeding. If the mix is short or fines, but
the sand is otherwise fairly well graded, bleeding will not
normally create any problems as long as the pump continues
operation. But, if the pump is shut down, bleeding can result
in a loss of lubrication and blocked erratic flow.
The above are bad concrete practices, regardless of how the
mix is to be placed. But, these points do show that special mixes
are not always needed, within limits, for pumping concrete. Good
aggregate gradation is most important to pump concrete the
maximum distance.
The use of admixtures can have a beneficial effect on pumpability.
Most of the dispersing agents will fatten, retard bleeding, and
increase workability. Thus, the average concrete can be pumped
for appreciably longer distances. Air entraining agents will also
improve workability, although they cannot be used as a substitute
for good gradation of the aggregate. Pumping will not appreciably
affect the final air content of the mix. High-early cement tends to
give a more readily pumpable mix with superior water retaining
qualities. However, if delays are likely to occur, extra care must
be exercised due to the faster setting time over regular cement.
The Mayco LS300 models will pump a wide variety of concrete
pump mixes. But, there are guidelines that must be followed.
Use this information in conjunction with the
of this manual.

MAYCO LS300 CONCRETE PUMP • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (06/21/10) — PAGE 15
GENERAL INFORMATION
REGIONAL DIFFERENCES
Concrete is made by mixing locally available rock and sand with
cement and water. For this reason there are great differences in
the pumpability of concrete from one region of the country to
another.
It is impossible to define a specific mix for each region that the
concrete pump be will working in. Therefore, the mixes listed in
Appendix - Concrete Mix Information will provide a basic
guideline for establishing the proper mix design for your area.
Use this information to specify your requirements to your local
ready-mix batch plant, contractor and civil engineer. It may take
minor adjustments to make a mix pumpable, so you should
explain your needs.
The elements that have to be controlled and consistently
maintained by the batch plant are:
1.The sizing and mix percentage of rocks, gap graded from
the largest down through the smallest sizes.
2.Sand with a sieve analysis that has the proper percentage
of fines, ASTM C33 spec.
3.Sufficient cement to produce the required design strength
of the concrete and provide the lubricating binder to pump
the concrete through the delivery system.
5.The proper amount of water to make a workable slump and
plasticize the mix.
In addition, this Mayco Concrete Pump can be used to pump a
large aggregate hard rock as follows:
1.Pea rock (1/2" minus) pump with mixes being as low as 30%
rock and 70% sand.
2.Shortening pea rock when used with an air compressor and
nozzle. (See back pages for recommended setup.)
3.“Mud Jacking”, high pressure grouting.
Use a minimum of:
500 lbs. of cement/cu yd for 2500 p.s.i. concrete after 28
days.
530 lbs. of cement/cu yd for 3000 p.s.i. concrete after 28
days.
600 lbs. of cement/cu yd for 4000 p.s.i. concrete after 28
days.
4.Admixture pump-aid if necessary.
PAGE 16 — MAYCO LS300 CONCRETE PUMP • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (06/21/10)
The following is a brief explanation of how the concrete cylinders,
hydraulic cylinders, shuttle tube, valves and hopper work in
sequence to pump concrete.
The hydraulic pressure is generated by a variable volume,
pressure compensated, axial piston pump that is driven by a
diesel engine. The rod sides of the drive cylinders are
hydraulically connected together creating a “slave circuit,” which
allows hydraulic oil to transfer from one piston to the other.
The two part cycling sequence is initiated by an electrical signal
generated by two proximity switches activated by the drive
cylinder. The proximity switches are normally open, magnetically
sensing the movement of the main drive cylinder. As the drive
cylinder piston head passes the proximity switch, an electrical
signal is sent to the solenoid operated pilot valve which in turn
directs pilot oil to the four valves controlling the drive cylinder
and the shuttle cylinder.

Figure 3. Pumping Cycle 1
Figure 4. Pumping Cycle 2
In the first cycle, hydraulic pressure is applied to cylinder (B),
causing the hydraulic piston, which is connected to the concrete
piston and piston cup, to discharge concrete into the delivery
line (Figure 3).
As one cylinder is discharging concrete, the hydraulic oil from
the rod side (B) of the drive cylinders is being transferred through
the slave circuit causing the opposite cylinder (A) to move back
on the suction stroke, filling the cylinder with concrete.
The shuttle tube is sequenced to pivot to each concrete cylinder
as the drive cylinders stroke to push concrete. As the second
cycling sequence begins (Figure 4), the shuttle tube pivots to
the opposite cylinder (A). The hydraulic piston passes under the
proximity switch and sends pressure to the piston, causing it to
stroke and discharge concrete into the delivery line. Hydraulic
oil is transferred through the slave circuit to cylinder B, causing it
to start a suction stroke, refilling it with concrete. The pumping
sequence then repeats for the duration of the operation.

OPERATION
HOSE LUBRICATION
Before pumping, it is necessary to lubricate the hose.
PUMPING
WARNING - SAFETY GLASSES
This procedure prevents separation and blockages in the
hose. Inspect the lines at all times to prevent problems.
Before concrete is discharged into the hopper, it is suggested
that 3 to 4 gallons of water be sprayed into the hopper,
followed by approximately 5 gallons of a creamy cement and
water slurry (1/2 bag of cement to 5 gallons of water).
Getting the concrete to flow through the
hose at the start of the pumping cycle
can be one of the most critical operations of the pour.
1.Place the
PRIMING THE PUMP WITH SLURRY MIXTURE
position (Figure 26) for normal pumping operation.
It is CRITICAL to the successful operation of a concrete
pump that the manifold and all delivery hoses, pipes and
elbows are coated with a film of lubrication BEFORE you
attempt to pump concrete.
Failure to properly prepare the pump and system will result
in a “dry pack” of concrete, blocking the shuttle valve tube
or delivery line.
1.Connect the entire delivery system to the pump. Pour 5
gallons of water and a bag of raw cement into the hopper.
2.Place the
Direction Control Switch
to the REVERSE
position (Figure 25). This will mix the water and cement

4.Position the first ready-mix truck at the hopper. Check
the concrete. DO NOT discharge concrete into hopper
at this time.
5.Place the
Direction Control Switch
in the FORWARD
position. This will start the flow of the slurry to the hoses.
6.Keep the slurry flowing until most of it is pumped out.
However, make sure that some slurry is left on the hopper
when concrete is first discharged from the ready-mix
truck.

Slowly discharge the concrete from the ready-mix truck
into the hopper and completely fill it. Place pump control
switch in the local “ON” pumping position. Keep the pump
running continuously until concrete is discharging at the
end of the delivery system. If the pumping operation
suddenly stops with no concrete discharging from the
hose, a blockage may have occurred. Immediately place
the switch in the “OFF” position. Refer to Clearing
