PRIME-A-PUMP

For many concrete pump operators, the worst and most unpleasant part of the job is priming or grouting the pump, involving the mixing of cement powder with water into a paste. This out-dated process carries significant risks to the health and safety of the pump operators. Risks such as dermatitis and skin burns incurred from contact with the cement, respiratory problems from the inhalation of cement dust and back problems from repetitive heavy lifting.
