The first SEM Concrete Placer Pump was started up in South Africa in 1968.  40 years later, over 600 SEM pumps and units have come onto the market - some of them having been sent as far away as Nepal.

SEM Concrete Placer Pumps fills a niche in the concrete pumping market.  A number of applications require pumping as an obvious method of placing the concrete.  For a number of reasons some of these applications do not justify the relatively high price of purchasing and running a piston pump.  The reasons may vary from small quantities of concrete to convey, small quantities / long distances, large number of individual working points, remote sites with minimal workshop facilities or just plainly the fact that in a number of cases a SEM Placer Pump can do the work at a fraction of the cost of a piston pump.

SEM Concrete Placer Pumps are amongst the most versatile and simple pumps available in the construction world. Typical uses can be found here. SEM Concrete Placer Pumps are offered in the following 3 models:

• SEM 500 CONCRETE PLACER PUMP with 500 liter capacity per batch.  Maximum output 30 m³/hour.
  
  Maximum pumping distance 150 m horizontal or 18 m vertical.  Mainly used for building and civil works plus large development work in the mines.  The SEM 500 is supplied on a fixed stand or on a 2-wheel site trailer. This pump is an absolute workhorse, economical, efficient and easy to clean and maintain.
  

• SEM 250 CONCRETE PLACER PUMP with 250 liter capacity per batch. Maximum output 19 m³/hour.
  
  Maximum pumping distance as for SEM 500. A compact version of the SEM 500 for use where relatively large outputs are required but where headroom or access is restricted, such as in underground applications or where lower filling height is required.  The SEM 250 is supplied on a fixed stand or on a 2-wheel site trailer.

• SEM 100 CONCRETE PLACER PUMP with 100 liter capacity per batch.  Maximum output 6 m³/hour.
  
  Maximum pumping distance 100 m horizontal or 18 m vertical.  A small wheel-about pump which is absolutely ideal for day-to-day underground concrete work in the mines. This unit's small footprint and relatively small mass make it easily transporatable in restricted situations.

Suitable quick coupling, lightweight piping and accessories are supplied as part of the SEM SYSTEM.  They form an important part in streamlining the operation of placing concrete.

SEM pumps are manufactured to RSA/CiF 8-1-95 A95, tested by an idependent organization and issued with a final Certificate of Compliance (Design).
