Unlike traditional pumps, ACME peristaltic pumps do not use valves, which significantly reduces the risk of damage to mechanical components. The operating principle of ACME pumps is based on peristalsis, which allows the material to be transferred through a highly resistant rubber hose. This design eliminates direct contact with mechanical parts, protecting the system from wear caused by the abrasive solids present in excavation sludge. Furthermore, the peristaltic technology enables optimal material management, reducing the need to dilute sludge with large amounts of water, resulting in significant savings in water resource management. Advantages of ACME Peristaltic Pumps in Tunneling:
- No valves: reduces the risk of mechanical damage.
- Optimal material management: minimizes the need to dilute sludge.
- Wear resistance: eliminates direct contact with mechanical parts.
ACME pumps are also distinguished by their
versatility, adapting perfectly to other applications in the
construction sector. A relevant example is their use in the
dosing of silicates in concrete, essential to ensure the optimal application of the
shotcrete technique, a fundamental process for tunnel lining and stabilization. Thanks to the
precision and reliability of ACME pumps, it is possible to achieve concrete mixtures of superior quality, helping to improve the
durability and safety of underground structures.
In summary,
ACME peristaltic pumps not only solve issues related to the
disposal of abrasive sludge, but also prove to be crucial tools in ensuring
efficiency and quality in tunneling and underground construction projects.
