The Alpha
- a new Hydraulic Pea- Rock pump that operates without balls has been developed by Transcrete America in response to requests by its many small line concrete pumpers wishing to combat the harsher, lower slump, 1/2 inch minus rock mixes, engineers and contractors are now specifying to reduce cracking.

The ALPHA range features a direct flow 4 1/2 inch to 3 inch cast steel 'S- Tube' concrete valve. Alpha pumps field tested by Transcrete America's dealer network in a wide range of such diverse markets as Florida, South Carolina and California have exceeded the dealers wildest expectations. Jobs such as shotcrete, blockfilling and deck slabs were pumped with the harshest mixes the industry could supply. The Alpha handled it all, pumping the lower slump, harsher mixes with ease.

Specification wise, the Alpha comes in three models ranging from the 3 inch bore P 10 model rated at 10 cubic yards per hour, the 4 1/2 inch bore P 20 model rated at 20 cubic yards per hour, on up to the 5 inch bore P 25 model rated at 25 cubic yards per hour. All models have the same 2 1/2 inch hydraulic cylinders with 24 inch stroke. The S- Tube is the standard 4 1/2 inch by 3 inch type, however Transcrete America has also produced a 3 inch x 3 inch S- Tube for refactory applications and a special S- Tube with 4 1/2 inch x 4 inch S- tube to handle 3/4 mixes. The optional size S- Tubes can be ordered at no extra cost. Dealers will stock conversion kits as well to assist any pumpers that come up against a specific pumping application.

Transcrete America is looking to release the Alpha models with a price list starting at around the price of a diesel powered mechanical ball valve. The Alpha is powered by a range of air cooled German diesels starting at the 30 Hp model up to a 60 Hp model. A unique one piece 'monoblock' hydraulic brain is tank top mounted and contains all the Alpha's 'dual circuit' hydraulic components. The directional valves, relief and unloader valves, stop start and reverse function are all contained in the compact 'monoblock ' manifold. The accumulator dump valve operates off the engine key as well as the 'E' stop button. The compact 'monoblock' brain eliminates 60% of the hydraulic hoses found on most concrete pumps yet is about the same size as a chocolate box.

The Alpha is mounted on a single axle trailer, easy to tow and weighs around 2,000 pounds subject to buyer's final specifications.
