Concrete Pump Hose
High-Pressure Concrete Pump Hose for Concrete, Mortar and Plaster
A concrete pump hose is a heavy-duty industrial hose designed to transfer concrete, mortar, and plaster through concrete pumping and delivery systems.
Concrete transfer applications expose hoses to high pressure, abrasive materials, mechanical movement, impact, and demanding jobsite conditions. Choosing the right concrete delivery hose is therefore critical for safe operation, reliable material flow, and long service life.
Hidroman offers the BETON 85 concrete pump hose for demanding construction and concrete transfer applications. The hose is specified for 85 bar working pressure and 200 bar burst pressure, with a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.

Concrete Pump Hose Applications
Concrete pump hoses are used wherever concrete and other abrasive construction materials must be transferred under pressure.
Typical applications include:
- Concrete pumps
- Concrete pumping systems
- Ready-mix concrete operations
- Construction jobsites
- Concrete delivery systems
- Mortar pumping
- Plaster transfer
- Tunnel construction
- Underground construction
- Infrastructure projects
- Large-scale construction projects
For high-pressure concrete pumping, the hose must be selected according to pump pressure, material characteristics, hose diameter, bend radius, connection type, and installation conditions.
Why Is Abrasion Resistance Important in Concrete Hoses?
Concrete, mortar, and plaster can contain abrasive aggregates and particles that continuously contact the inside of the hose.
This makes abrasion resistance one of the most important performance characteristics when selecting a concrete pump hose.
The BETON 85 hose uses a highly abrasion-resistant NBR/CBR rubber inner tube and a four-layer steel wire reinforcement structure. The outer cover is designed to resist abrasion, ozone, and weathering.

Concrete Pump Hose Construction
Abrasion-Resistant Inner Tube
The inner tube is made from highly abrasion-resistant NBR/CBR rubber designed for the demanding conditions created by concrete, mortar, and plaster transfer.
Steel Wire Reinforcement
Four layers of high-strength steel wire reinforcement provide the mechanical structure required for high-pressure concrete transfer.
Durable Outer Cover
The outer cover is made from synthetic rubber designed to resist abrasion, ozone, and weathering. This helps protect the reinforcement from demanding jobsite conditions.
How to Choose a Concrete Pump Hose
Choosing the right concrete pump hose requires more than selecting the correct diameter.
Working Pressure
The hose working pressure must be appropriate for the maximum pressure generated by the concrete pumping system.
The BETON 85 series is rated at 85 bar / approximately 1,233 psi working pressure and 200 bar / approximately 2,901 psi burst pressure.
Material Abrasion
The type and aggregate content of the concrete or mortar affect hose wear. Highly abrasive materials require a hose with a suitable abrasion-resistant inner tube.
Hose Diameter
The inside diameter should be selected according to the pump, required flow rate, material characteristics, and system design.
Bend Radius
The hose should never be bent below its specified minimum bend radius.
Excessive bending can damage the reinforcement and reduce the service life of the hose.
Temperature
The BETON 85 operating temperature range is specified as -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F).
Concrete Delivery Hose Safety
Concrete pumping systems operate under high pressure. A damaged hose can present a serious safety risk.
Before each use:
- Inspect the outer cover.
- Check for cuts, cracks, bulges, and excessive wear.
- Inspect hose connections and couplings.
- Verify the operating pressure.
- Check that the hose is not kinked or excessively bent.
- Avoid twisting the hose.
- Use compatible couplings and fittings.
- Replace damaged or severely worn hoses.
- Follow the equipment manufacturer's safety procedures.
The condition of the hose should be monitored throughout its service life, particularly in high-cycle concrete pumping applications.
Concrete Hose for Construction and Infrastructure
Concrete pumping is widely used in construction, infrastructure, tunneling, underground construction, and large-scale concrete placement.
In these applications, the hose must withstand a combination of high pressure, abrasive material, mechanical movement, and challenging environmental conditions.
The BETON 85 series is designed around these demanding requirements, with a heavy-duty reinforced structure and abrasion-resistant inner tube.
