Modern refractory installation projects require reliable equipment capable of preparing material consistently and delivering it efficiently to the placement area. The Blastcrete MX-20CM combines high-shear continuous mixing with high-pressure pumping to provide an integrated solution for refractory and shotcrete applications.
As a high shear mixer pump, the MX-20CM is designed for both smaller refractory installations and high-volume industrial projects. Its mixer and pump can provide output of up to 25 tons per hour, giving contractors flexibility across a wide range of applications.
What Is a High Shear Mixer Pump?
A high shear mixer pump is designed to combine intensive material mixing with controlled pumping in a single system.
The MX-20CM uses a two-stage mixing process. A compact high-shear primary continuous mixer hydrates the material, while a medium-shear secondary mixer is mounted in the receiving hopper of the 4-inch high-pressure swing tube pump.
This configuration creates a continuous process:
Material Charging → High-Shear Mixing → Secondary Mixing → Receiving Hopper → Pumping → Material Placement
By integrating mixing and pumping, the MX-20CM is designed to simplify material handling and support consistent production.
MX-20CM Continuous Mixer Pump
The MX-20CM continuous mixer pump is engineered for applications where continuous material processing and pumping are important.
The high-shear continuous mixer has a stated output of up to 25 tons per hour, while the pump also provides a rated output range of 0–25 tons per hour.
This makes the machine suitable for:
Small refractory installations
Medium-volume refractory projects
High-volume refractory placement
Refractory pump casting
Shotcrete applications
Industrial refractory maintenance
Furnace and kiln repair
The ability to operate across different production levels gives contractors flexibility when working on projects with varying material requirements.
Two-Stage High-Shear Mixing System
One of the defining features of the MX-20CM is its two-stage mixer configuration.
Primary High-Shear Mixer
The primary continuous mixer uses high shear to hydrate and prepare the material. Its continuous operation is designed to support steady material production.
Secondary Medium-Shear Mixer
A secondary medium-shear mixer is positioned in the receiving hopper. This helps maintain material preparation before the mixture enters the high-pressure pumping system.
Together, the two mixing stages are designed to provide efficient material preparation while reducing unnecessary transfer between separate pieces of equipment.
High-Pressure Pumping Capability
The MX-20CM is equipped with a 4-inch x 36-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
The pump provides:
Up to 25 tons/hour output
2,200 PSI piston face pressure
4-inch x 36-inch swing tube configuration
Oversized differential cylinders
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Swing-out receiving hopper
The pump is designed for rugged refractory pump-cast and shotcrete applications.
The oversized differential cylinders allow the machine to achieve high discharge pressure while requiring comparatively lower hydraulic pressure for operation.
Continuous Mixer Pump for Refractory Applications
The MX-20CM continuous mixer pump can be used in a variety of refractory applications where material must be mixed and pumped to the installation location.
Potential applications include:
Furnace lining
Furnace refractory repair
Kiln lining
Cement plant maintenance
Steel plant refractory installation
Boiler refractory work
Foundry applications
Industrial furnace maintenance
Refractory castable placement
Pump-cast refractory installation
Shotcrete installation
High-volume refractory repair
Its integrated mixing and pumping design can help simplify operations on demanding industrial jobsites.
Reduced Dust and Faster Cleanup
The MX-20CM is designed with operational efficiency in mind.
According to the supplied specifications, dust generated while charging the continuous mixer is substantially reduced. The mixer design also allows for quicker cleanup with very little waste.
For contractors working with large volumes of refractory material, easier cleanup can help reduce downtime between jobs and simplify routine equipment maintenance.
Swing-Out Receiving Hopper
Maintenance accessibility is another important feature of the high shear mixer pump.
The MX-20CM uses a swing-out receiving hopper that provides easier access to the swing tube pump section.
This design can help with:
Cleaning
Pump inspection
Routine maintenance
Swing tube servicing
Material removal
Forklift tubing mounted to the lower hopper also assists with flat-pack removal.
Efficient Power Requirements
The efficiency of the MX-20CM's two-stage mixing and pumping system allows the machine to operate with approximately 100 HP, based on the supplied manufacturer specifications.
Available power configurations include:
99 HP John Deere water-cooled diesel
102 HP Deutz water-cooled diesel
Dual electric motors
The supplied information states that the design can reduce fuel consumption by up to 50% compared with competitive machines. Actual fuel consumption will vary depending on material, operating conditions, workload, and machine configuration.
