Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03019007A1] The invention concerns a method for controlling a thick matter pump comprising two delivery cylinders (10) emerging, via two openings (12), into a matter reservoir (14), associated with two delivery pistons (26), symmetrically synchronized relative to said cylinders, and a branch pipe (18) arranged inside the matter reservoir (14), capable of being connected, on the input side, alternately to the openings of the delivery cylinders and connected, on the output side, each time an opening is cleared, to a delivery pipe (20). When the pump is switched on, the thick matter, liquid concrete for example, is sucked up, via the delivery cylinders temporarily communicating with the reservoir, and is delivered, via the other cylinders (10) connected to the branch pipe (18), so as to form a column of thick matter through the delivery pipe (20), towards its output. In order to avoid problems of deposit, condensation and solidification, the invention is characterized in that the thick matter column is maintained, at least temporarily, in movement, when the pump is stopped, in the delivery pipe (20) and/or the branch pipe (18) and/or the delivery cylinders (10), while not allowing the thick matter to escape, on the output side, from said delivery pipe (20). The invention is further characterized in that, when the pump is stopped, the thick matter in the matter reservoir and/or a stirring system (34), is likewise maintained in movement through the feeding and output branch pipe.
