The Power Source Of The Boom Placer
In the international market, the power source of concrete boom placer machines can usually be classified into the following types.

Hydraulic power system
This is one of the commonly used power sources for boom placers, especially in applications that require high-precision control and strong power. The hydraulic power system transfer energy through the pressure of liquids ( such as hydraulic oil ), achieving actions such as the walking of the placing boom, the amplitude variation and rotation of the placing boom.

For example, in the boom placer machine, the hydraulic power system of the hydraulic crawler crane is often used as the power source for the entire machine’s walking, placing arm frame variable amplitude, and rotary drive. (Find more details on ltconcretepump.com)

Electric motor drive
Electric motors are another common source of placing boom power, especially in situations where stable speed and long-term continuous operation are required.
The electric motor drive can provide power for the extension and retraction of the placing boom, the boom belt conveyor, and the feeding belt conveyor through an external power source ( such as 380V power supply).
The electric motor drive boom placer has the advantages of smooth starring, convenient speed regulation, and simple maintenance.

Hybrid system
In some complex placing boom applications, hybrid power systems may be used, combining the advantages of hydraulic power systems and electric motor drives.

This system can flexibly choose to use hydraulic power or electric motor drive according to the needs of different working stages, in order to achieve more efficient and energy-saving placing operations.

In summary, the main power sources for placing boom in the international market are hydraulic power systems and electric motor drives, while there is also a trend towards using hybrid power systems.
The selection of these power sources depends on the specific needs, working environment, and operational requirements of the boom placer. When selecting a power source, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as equipment performance, cost, and maintenance convenience.
