Schwing Agitator Paddle & Accessories Series for Concrete Pumps
Reliable Mixing Performance for Consistent Concrete Flow
The Agitator Paddle & Accessories Series from Schwing® plays a crucial role in maintaining concrete quality within the hopper by ensuring continuous, uniform mixing. These components prevent aggregate separation and ensure the mix retains pumpable consistency during operation. Built for endurance and precision, Schwing's agitator systems support optimal performance and reliability for your concrete pump fleet.
🌀 Key Features & Benefits
Optimized Mixing Efficiency Specially shaped paddles maintain concrete homogeneity, preventing aggregate settling during pauses or low-speed operation.
Heavy-Duty Construction Built from abrasion-resistant, high-strength steel designed to withstand continuous rotation under high load conditions.
Secure & Stable Mounting Paddles mount securely onto the agitator shaft using rugged hardware engineered to resist loosening from vibration or torsional stress.
Versatile Designs Available Multiple paddle shapes, orientations, and assembly layouts accommodate various hopper sizes, concrete mixes, and pump models.
Extended Service Life All components, including bushings and bearings, are crafted for longevity in demanding, high-abrasion environments.
Schwing® OEM Compatibility Engineered to work seamlessly with Schwing® pump hoppers, shafts, and hydraulic/electric agitator drives.
🔍 Component Overview (As Shown in Images)
🖼️ Component
🔧 Description
Agitator Shafts with Paddles
Red/yellow rotating assemblies fitted with curved paddles to mix and churn concrete inside the hopper. Various paddle numbers and angles provide customized mixing action.
Agitator Drive Hubs/Mounts
Flanged metal components that secure the shaft to a hydraulic or electric drive source. Machined with bolt holes for stable mounting.
Bushings & Bearings (Support Rings)
Brass/silver cylindrical elements that reduce friction and support the rotating shaft within the hopper housing.
Shaft Couplings
Silver metal sleeves with keyways that join shaft segments or connect the shaft to the drive motor.
Fasteners, Plates & Seals
Includes mounting plates (e.g., potentially the Schwing 10061079 Aluminum Plate Cover), bolts, washers, seals, and O-rings required for assembly and sealing.
⚙️ Functional Role in a Schwing® Concrete Pump
The agitator system ensures optimal concrete condition at the point of pumping:
🔄 Continuous Hopper Mixing Keeps the concrete fresh and workable by constantly turning it within the hopper.
🧱 Prevents Segregation Ensures aggregates stay suspended in the cement matrix, preserving a consistent mix.
💨 Improves Flowability Homogenous concrete moves more freely into the pumping cylinders, reducing interruptions.
📈 Benefits for Pumping Operations
✅ Maintains Concrete Quality Uniform agitation means consistent concrete delivery with every stroke of the pump.
🚫 Reduces Risk of Blockages Prevents slumped, dry, or segregated mixes that could clog delivery lines.
⏱️ Increases Efficiency Promotes smooth pumping and reduces wear and tear on pumping cylinders and valves.
