What makes cement tough on pumps

Cement slurries, grout, and mortar are dense and abrasive; admixtures can be highly alkaline or acidic. Pumps must resist wear, maintain flow under high viscosity, and eliminate leakage risks around workers and equipment.

Kendall answers for cement and ready-mix

Peristaltic (Hose) Pumps — the slurry specialist. Kendall peristaltic pumps comfortably move cement mortar, grout, and concrete fines, as well as challenging media with poor flowability. With no casing oil required and fast hose changeouts, they reduce cleanup time on mobile skids and batch plants. PERISTALTIC-PUMP

EMP Electric Diaphragm Pumps — rugged transfer of corrosives. EMP pumps handle strong acids/alkalis and can be used on cement slurry/mortar duties, all while isolating the drive from the fluid to prevent seal leakage and unplanned spills. CATALOGO-KENDALL-PUMPS

MW/ML Mechanical Diaphragm Metering — admixture precision. For accelerators, retarders, plasticizers, or corrosion inhibitors, Kendall’s metering pumps offer PVC/PVDF/SS heads, double ceramic check balls, and a long-life, double-layer diaphragm—ideal for tight dose windows in batching.

Safety and control

For plant integration, Kendall’s smart peristaltic drives support external start/stop, analog speed control, and RS-485/Modbus, enabling interlocks and alarms for safer, automated operation. 2021-LEAD-FLUID-CATALOGUE


If you want, I can convert each article into a Kendall-styled blog page (H2/H3, pull-quotes, CTA blocks) and tailor a product grid at the end of each post (Peristaltic Single Hose, Double Hose, EMP, MW/ML) with spec highlights pulled from your catalogs.
