Abstract

A fluid operated pump for concrete and similar materials comprising a pair of piston-cylinder units connected to a concrete housing having a single valve for controlling the charging and discharging of the material. The valve control element and the concrete housing are defined in a mating relationship for minimizing flow restrictions of the material moved through the housing. Other efficiencies in the fluid circuit structures and arrangements are provided.
