Industrial furnaces, kilns, boilers, steelmaking equipment, and other high-temperature systems depend on reliable refractory linings to protect structures from extreme heat, abrasion, and demanding operating conditions. When installing new linings or repairing damaged refractory materials, contractors need equipment capable of efficient mixing and controlled material placement.
The Blastcrete MX-20CM is an integrated mixer and pump designed for refractory placement applications. As refractory lining equipment, it combines a high-shear continuous mixer with a high-pressure swing tube piston pump to support both smaller refractory repairs and high-volume installation projects.
The machine is designed for applications ranging from approximately 2–3 tons per hour to a stated maximum output of 25 tons per hour.
What Is Refractory Lining Equipment?
Refractory lining equipment is used to prepare, transport, and install refractory materials inside industrial equipment exposed to high temperatures.
Typical applications include:
Furnace linings
Kiln linings
Boiler linings
Steel plant refractory systems
Cement plant equipment
Foundry furnaces
Industrial heaters
Incinerators
High-temperature processing equipment
The MX-20CM combines mixing and pumping functions, allowing refractory materials to be prepared and transported through an integrated system before placement.
MX-20CM for Refractory Lining Applications
The MX-20CM refractory lining equipment uses a two-stage mixing process.
The primary stage features a compact high-shear continuous mixer where material is hydrated. A secondary medium-shear mixer is mounted in the receiving hopper of the 4-inch high-pressure swing tube pump.
The process can be summarized as:
Dry Material → High-Shear Mixing → Secondary Mixing → Receiving Hopper → High-Pressure Pumping → Refractory Lining
This integrated workflow is designed to support continuous material preparation and placement.
Refractory Repair Equipment for Industrial Maintenance
Industrial refractory linings can require periodic repair due to heat exposure, abrasion, chemical attack, mechanical wear, or normal operating conditions. Efficient refractory repair equipment can help contractors complete maintenance work while reducing unnecessary material handling.
The MX-20CM can be considered for applications such as:
Furnace refractory repair
Kiln lining repair
Boiler refractory repair
Cement plant maintenance
Steel plant maintenance
Foundry refractory repair
Industrial furnace maintenance
Refractory castable repair
Pump-cast refractory repair
Shotcrete repair applications
High-volume refractory maintenance
Its flexible output allows the equipment to be used on smaller repair jobs as well as larger refractory replacement projects.
High-Shear Continuous Mixer
The MX-20CM features a high-shear continuous mixer designed to hydrate and prepare refractory materials before pumping.
The mixer provides a stated output of up to 25 tons per hour.
A secondary medium-shear mixer is positioned in the receiving hopper, creating a two-stage mixing system.
This arrangement is designed to provide continuous material preparation while reducing the need to transfer material between separate machines.
4-Inch High-Pressure Swing Tube Pump
A key component of the refractory repair equipment is the MX-20CM's 4-inch x 36-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
The pump features:
0–25 tons/hour output
2,200 PSI piston face pressure
4-inch x 36-inch swing tube
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 system to achieve high discharge pressure while requiring comparatively lower hydraulic pressure for operation.
Refractory Lining Applications
The MX-20CM can support a variety of refractory lining projects.
Furnace Linings
The machine can be used for refractory material placement during furnace lining installation and maintenance.
Kiln Linings
Cement and other industrial processing facilities can use refractory equipment for kiln lining and repair applications.
Boiler Applications
The MX-20CM can be used for refractory placement and repair work in boiler environments where suitable castable materials are specified.
Steel and Foundry Applications
Steel plants and foundries often require refractory maintenance in high-temperature processing areas. The MX-20CM provides an integrated mixing and pumping system for these applications.
Efficient Refractory Material Placement
The MX-20CM is designed to reduce the number of separate steps involved in preparing and placing refractory material.
The material moves through the system from the dry hopper to the primary mixer, secondary mixer, receiving hopper, and pump.
This integrated approach can help:
Simplify material handling
Support continuous production
Reduce transfer between machines
Improve jobsite workflow
Support high-volume refractory placement
Swing-Out Hopper for Easier Maintenance
Maintenance is especially important for refractory lining equipment operating in demanding industrial environments.
The MX-20CM includes a swing-out receiving hopper that provides easier access to the swing tube pump section.
This can simplify:
Cleaning
Inspection
Swing tube maintenance
Pump servicing
Material removal
Forklift tubing is also mounted to the lower hopper to assist with flat-pack removal.
Reduced Dust and Cleanup
The MX-20CM continuous mixer is designed to minimize dust generated during charging.
The equipment is also designed for quicker mixer cleanup and reduced material waste.
For contractors performing frequent refractory repairs, easier cleanup can help reduce downtime between applications and simplify daily equipment maintenance.
MX-20CM Power Options
The MX-20CM is available with several power configurations.
Diesel Power
99 HP John Deere water-cooled diesel
102 HP Deutz water-cooled diesel
Electric Power
Dual electric motors
The two-stage mixer and pumping system is designed to operate with approximately 100 HP.
The supplied manufacturer information states that the equipment can reduce fuel consumption by up to 50% compared with competitive machines. Actual fuel use will depend on operating conditions, material, workload, and machine configuration.
