Industrial refractory projects require reliable equipment capable of mixing, transporting, and placing refractory materials efficiently. The Blastcrete MX-20CM is designed as an integrated mixer and pump for demanding refractory installation applications, combining continuous high-shear mixing with high-pressure pumping in one machine.
As an industrial mixer pump, the MX-20CM can support both smaller refractory installations of approximately 2–3 tons per hour and high-volume applications with output of up to 25 tons per hour.
MX-20CM Refractory Installation Equipment
The right refractory installation equipment can help contractors improve material handling and maintain consistent production during demanding industrial projects.
The MX-20CM combines two primary functions:
Continuous high-shear mixing
High-pressure pumping
The primary mixer hydrates the material before it moves into a secondary medium-shear mixer located in the receiving hopper. From there, the prepared material is delivered through the 4-inch high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
This integrated design provides a continuous path from material mixing to final placement.
Industrial Mixer Pump for High-Volume Applications
The MX-20CM industrial mixer pump is designed for projects requiring flexible production rates.
The mixer and pump are both rated for output of up to 25 tons per hour, allowing the machine to support high-volume refractory installation projects.
At the same time, the machine can be used for smaller installations where lower production rates are required.
This flexibility makes the MX-20CM suitable for contractors working across different project sizes and industrial environments.
High-Shear Continuous Mixer
The MX-20CM features a compact two-stage mixing system.
The first stage uses a high-shear continuous mixer to hydrate the material. A secondary medium-shear mixer is mounted inside the receiving hopper.
This configuration is designed to provide continuous material preparation while reducing unnecessary handling between mixing and pumping.
The high-shear mixer has a stated output capacity of up to 25 tons per hour.
4-Inch High-Pressure Swing Tube Pump
A major component of this industrial mixer pump is the 4-inch x 36-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
The pump features:
4-inch x 36-inch swing tube design
Up to 25 tons/hour pump output
2,200 PSI piston face pressure
Oversized differential cylinders
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Swing-out receiving hopper
The system is designed for rugged refractory pump-cast and shotcrete applications.
The oversized differential cylinders allow the pump to deliver high discharge pressure while operating at comparatively lower hydraulic pressure.
Applications of MX-20CM Refractory Installation Equipment
The MX-20CM can be used in a variety of industrial environments where refractory materials need to be mixed and placed efficiently.
Potential applications include:
Furnace refractory installation
Furnace lining repair
Cement kiln applications
Boiler refractory installation
Steel plant maintenance
Foundry applications
Industrial kiln repair
Refractory castable placement
Pump-cast refractory applications
Shotcrete applications
Industrial furnace maintenance
High-volume refractory installation
Its combination of mixing and pumping capabilities allows contractors to use one integrated machine for multiple stages of refractory material placement.
Easier Cleaning and Maintenance
Industrial equipment needs to be accessible for routine cleaning and servicing. The MX-20CM refractory installation equipment includes a swing-out receiving hopper designed to provide easier access to the swing tube section.
This can simplify:
Pump cleaning
Swing tube inspection
Routine maintenance
Service access
Material removal
The continuous mixer is also designed to reduce dust during charging and minimize cleanup time and material waste.
A forklift tubing system is mounted to the lower hopper to assist with flat-pack removal.
Efficient Power Configuration
The two-stage mixing system and oversized differential cylinders allow the MX-20CM to operate with approximately 100 HP, according to the supplied specifications.
Available power options include:
99 HP John Deere water-cooled diesel
102 HP Deutz water-cooled diesel
Dual electric motors
The manufacturer states that the machine's efficient design can reduce fuel consumption by up to 50% compared with competitive machines. Actual fuel consumption will depend on operating conditions, material, workload, and configuration.
Transportable Industrial Design
The MX-20CM is designed for transport between jobsites, with a stated towing weight of approximately 7,500 pounds.
The trailer incorporates dual 6,000-pound-capacity axles with electric braking and lights.
Additional transportation and handling features include:
Four-point overhead crane pickup
No spreader bar required for the four-point pickup
Forklift tubing
Trailer-mounted configuration
Optional skid-mounted configuration
The supplied specifications also state that no special license is needed to tow the machine; operators should verify towing and licensing requirements under their local regulations.
