Efficient material delivery is an important part of modern gypsum flooring projects. Contractors need gypsum pumping equipment that can combine reliable mixing with controlled pumping while handling the demands of field applications. The Blastcrete D6528 Mixer/Pump is designed specifically for field batching and pumping, providing an integrated solution for gypsum flooring work.
With a pumping capacity of up to 12 cubic yards per hour, the D6528 combines a hydraulic spiral mixer, receiving hopper, hydraulic agitator, and 3-inch hydraulic squeeze pump in one machine.
What Is Gypsum Pumping Equipment?
Gypsum pumping equipment is used to mix and transport pumpable gypsum-based materials from the batching area to the application location. Pumping can help reduce manual material handling and provide a more efficient way to deliver material across a flooring job site.
The D6528 is designed to perform both mixing and pumping functions. Its 9 cubic foot hydraulic spiral mixer prepares the material and hydraulically dumps it into a 12 cubic foot receiving hopper. The material is then pumped through the unit's 3-inch hydraulic squeeze pump.
This integrated arrangement makes the D6528 a practical option for contractors working on gypsum flooring projects.
D6528 Gypsum Floor Pumping Equipment
When selecting gypsum floor pumping equipment, contractors typically need to consider production capacity, material handling, pumping control, equipment mobility, and power requirements.
The D6528 addresses these requirements with a variable-speed pumping system capable of delivering from 0 to 12 cubic yards per hour. This allows the pumping rate to be adjusted to suit the requirements of the application.
The machine's hydraulic spiral mixer has a 9 cubic foot capacity, while the receiving hopper provides 12 cubic feet of capacity. A hydraulic agitator in the hopper assists with material handling before pumping.
How the D6528 Works
The D6528 uses a straightforward material-handling process:
Material batching: Gypsum flooring material is prepared in the 9 cubic foot hydraulic spiral mixer.
Hydraulic dumping: The mixer hydraulically dumps the prepared material into the receiving hopper.
Material management: The 12 cubic foot hopper and hydraulic agitator help manage the material before pumping.
Pumping: A 3-inch hydraulic squeeze pump transfers the material toward the application area.
Variable output: Pumping speed can be adjusted from 0 to 12 cubic yards per hour.
This process brings mixing and pumping together in a single piece of gypsum floor pumping equipment.
Key Features of the D6528
The D6528 includes several features intended to support field productivity and ease of operation.
9 Cubic Foot Hydraulic Spiral Mixer
The hydraulic spiral mixer provides a 9 cubic foot mixing capacity. It includes a hydraulic dump system and clean-out door to support material handling and cleaning.
12 Cubic Foot Receiving Hopper
After mixing, material is hydraulically transferred into the 12 cubic foot receiving hopper. The hopper includes a hydraulic agitator for material management.
3-Inch Hydraulic Squeeze Pump
The D6528 uses a 3-inch hydraulic squeeze pump driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox. Its variable-speed operation provides an output range of 0 to 12 cubic yards per hour.
Long-Life Pumping Tubes
The pump is designed with durable pumping tubes intended to provide extended service life, helping support consistent equipment operation.

Power Options for Gypsum Pumping Applications
The D6528 is available with two primary power configurations.
Diesel Power
The diesel version is equipped with a Kubota V1505 29 HP water-cooled diesel engine. This provides a field-oriented power option for applications where electrical power may not be convenient.
Electric Power
The alternative configuration uses a 30 HP electric motor with starter and disconnect. This can be suitable for locations with an appropriate electrical supply.
Having two power options gives contractors greater flexibility when selecting equipment for different project environments.
D6528 Equipment Options
Several options are available for the D6528 to help adapt the machine to different operating requirements:
Pendant or wireless remote
150-gallon water tank with 2-inch flow meter
Mounted spare tire
Hydraulic pressure washer
Dual axles
Mounted air compressor
Depending on the project and operating environment, these options can provide additional convenience and functionality.
Benefits of Integrated Gypsum Pumping Equipment
Using an integrated mixer and pump can simplify the material-handling process on flooring projects. With the D6528, the contractor has one machine that combines mixing, receiving, agitation, and pumping.
Improved Material Handling
The hydraulic mixer and receiving hopper help move material through the system without requiring separate mixing and pumping units.
Controlled Pumping
Variable-speed pumping from 0 to 12 cubic yards per hour provides operators with control over material delivery.
Field Batching Capability
The D6528 is designed for field batching and pumping, making it suitable for contractors who prepare materials directly at the job site.
Flexible Power Configuration
The availability of diesel and electric power options allows contractors to select a configuration based on job-site conditions.
Gypsum Flooring Applications
The D6528 is a popular solution for gypsum flooring applications. Its combination of mixing and pumping capabilities makes it suitable for projects where gypsum materials need to be prepared and transported efficiently.
Before selecting equipment, contractors should evaluate the specific material being used, required pumping distance, production requirements, job-site access, and available power.
Proper equipment setup and operation should always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Maintaining Gypsum Floor Pumping Equipment
Regular maintenance is important for keeping pumping equipment operating effectively. Operators should follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures for cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and replacement of wear components.
The D6528 includes a mixer clean-out door, which helps facilitate cleaning after mixing operations. Pumping components and tubes should also be inspected and maintained according to the appropriate service guidelines.
Good maintenance practices can help reduce unexpected downtime and support consistent equipment performance.
Why Consider the D6528?
For contractors searching for gypsum pumping equipment that combines mixing and pumping capabilities, the D6528 offers a practical integrated configuration.
Its 9 cubic foot hydraulic spiral mixer, 12 cubic foot receiving hopper, hydraulic agitator, and 3-inch squeeze pump are designed to work together as a complete field batching and pumping system.
With variable production from 0 to 12 cubic yards per hour, the D6528 provides flexibility for different gypsum flooring project requirements.
