Abstract:
An apparatus for pumping a viscous slurry material, the apparatus defining a footprint between opposite lateral sides and opposite front and back ends, the opposite lateral sides of the footprint spaced apart by a width of the apparatus so dimensioned as to be insertable into the space between the side jambs of a standard walkthrough man-door, the apparatus comprising substantially entirely between at least the opposite lateral sides of the footprint:a frame; a hopper supported on the frame, the hopper having an upper opening adapted to receive the viscous slurry material therethrough and an outlet below the upper opening adapted to eject the viscous slurry material; a swing tube pump adapted to pump the viscous slurry material from the hopper to be ejected out of the hopper outlet, the swing tube pump including a swing tube in the hopper and a piston pump operatively associated with the swing tube; and rolling support members movably supporting the frame; wherein the apparatus is self-contained and is readily movable on the rolling support members including movement through the space between the side jambs of the standard walkthrough man-door.
