A reliable hydrostatic predampener is an important piece of equipment for contractors who need controlled moisture addition and consistent material preparation. The Blastcrete Predampener is designed to add up to 5% moisture to gunning materials, helping promote proper hydration at the nozzle while reducing rebound.
Designed for industrial material-processing applications, this predampening equipment uses a completely hydrostatic system to provide precise material predampening and output control. Its combination of a hydrostatic auger, mixing system, adjustable water bars, and high-capacity hopper makes it suitable for demanding gunning-material applications.
What Is a Hydrostatic Predampener?
A hydrostatic predampener is designed to introduce a controlled amount of moisture into dry gunning materials before the material reaches the application point. Consistent moisture control can be important for achieving proper hydration and efficient material placement.
The Blastcrete Predampener features a 9-inch hydrostatic predampening auger and two solenoid-activated water bars. The water volume can be adjusted to help operators control the moisture added to the material during processing.
Advanced Predampening Equipment for Gunning Materials
The Blastcrete Predampener is built as industrial predampening equipment for continuous material handling. A material feed screw transfers material from the hopper into the predampening and mixing system, while the water bars introduce controlled moisture.
The machine can add up to 5% moisture and provides an output capacity of 0–12 tons per hour. This makes it suitable for operations requiring consistent material conditioning and high-volume production.
Key Features

Precise Moisture Control
One of the major advantages of hydrostatic predampening technology is controlled material conditioning. The Blastcrete system is designed to provide precise predampening and output control while adding up to 5% moisture to gunning materials.
The two solenoid-activated water bars allow water volume to be adjusted according to the material and application requirements. This controlled approach can help contractors maintain more consistent material preparation before nozzle application.
High-Capacity Predampening System
For demanding industrial applications, equipment capacity is an important consideration. The Blastcrete Predampener provides an output range of 0–12 tons per hour and incorporates a hopper capable of holding up to 3,000 pounds of material.
The unit is skid mounted and includes forklift pickup capability, making it practical for industrial environments where equipment handling and positioning are required.
