Why Reducing Block Fill Labor Costs Matters
Labor is an important consideration in masonry construction, particularly on multi-story projects where materials must be transported and placed efficiently. Traditional block filling methods may require workers to move material manually using buckets, increasing labor requirements and adding repetitive handling tasks.
Investing in specialized block filling equipment can help contractors simplify these processes, improve workflow coordination, and make better use of available labor.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to address these challenges by integrating mixing, pumping, and bulk material handling into a single machine.
How the Blastcrete MasonMate Helps Reduce Labor Costs
1. Eliminate Traditional CMU Block Fill Bucket Brigades
Bucket brigades can require multiple workers to transport material manually during block filling operations. This approach can slow placement and increase labor demands.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to eliminate traditional CMU block fill bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%. This can help contractors allocate workers to other productive tasks and reduce repetitive manual material handling.
2. Combine Mixing and Pumping in One Machine
The MasonMate features a high-shear continuous mixer paired with a D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump. This integrated arrangement supports material preparation and delivery within one system.
With a rated output range of 0–6 cubic yards per hour, the machine provides a dedicated solution for high-rise block filling. Actual output depends on material characteristics, operating conditions, and job-site requirements.
Combining these functions helps simplify equipment setup and supports a more coordinated workflow.
3. Simplify Bulk Material Loading
The integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify material loading and reduce manual handling requirements.
By incorporating bulk bag lifting into the same system as mixing and pumping, the MasonMate helps contractors organize material movement and reduce the need for separate manual loading steps.
4. Improve Productivity on Multi-Story Projects
Transporting equipment between floors can be challenging on high-rise construction sites. The MasonMate is designed to fit inside a suitable freight elevator or be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane.
Its pallet-jack mobility supports movement around suitable work areas, while its low-clearance design accommodates spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
These features help contractors plan equipment placement and material delivery more efficiently. Elevator dimensions, load limits, and lifting requirements should be verified before moving the machine.
5. Help Reduce Dust and Material Handling
Repeated manual material transfers can create dust and add unnecessary handling steps. The MasonMate's integrated material handling system is designed to help reduce dust associated with conventional handling methods.
A more streamlined process can also help crews coordinate material placement and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks.
