Industrial furnaces and kilns operate under extreme temperatures and demanding conditions, making reliable refractory installation essential for protecting equipment and maintaining efficient operation. The Blastcrete MX-20CM is an integrated mixer and pump designed to support refractory material preparation and placement for demanding industrial applications.
As refractory furnace lining equipment and refractory kiln lining equipment, the MX-20CM combines a high-shear continuous mixer with a 4-inch high-pressure swing tube piston pump. The system is designed for both smaller refractory installations of approximately 2–3 tons per hour and high-volume projects with output of up to 25 tons per hour.
MX-20CM for Furnace and Kiln Refractory Installation
Proper refractory lining requires equipment capable of consistently preparing and delivering refractory material to the installation area. The MX-20CM integrates mixing and pumping into one machine.
Its operating process includes:
Dry Material → High-Shear Mixing → Secondary Mixing → Receiving Hopper → High-Pressure Pumping → Furnace or Kiln Installation
The two-stage mixing system is designed to hydrate and prepare material before it enters the high-pressure pump.
Refractory Furnace Lining Equipment
Refractory furnace lining equipment is used for installing and repairing refractory materials inside furnaces and other high-temperature processing systems.
The MX-20CM can support applications such as:
Industrial furnace lining
Furnace refractory repair
Furnace relining
Steel furnace applications
Foundry furnace applications
Cement plant equipment
Industrial heating systems
Boiler refractory work
High-temperature processing equipment
Pump-cast refractory installation
The machine's stated output range provides flexibility for smaller maintenance projects and larger furnace installation requirements.
Refractory Kiln Lining Equipment
Kilns used in cement, minerals, ceramics, and other industrial processes require refractory linings capable of withstanding high operating temperatures and demanding service conditions.
The MX-20CM refractory kiln lining equipment provides integrated material mixing and pumping for refractory placement applications.
Potential applications include:
Rotary kiln lining
Industrial kiln repair
Cement kiln maintenance
Kiln refractory replacement
Kiln patching applications
Pump-cast refractory installation
Shotcrete applications
High-volume kiln refractory projects
The equipment can be configured for different jobsite requirements and production levels.
Two-Stage High-Shear Mixing System
The MX-20CM features a compact two-stage mixing system.
Primary High-Shear Mixer
The primary continuous mixer is designed to hydrate the material before it enters the receiving system.
The mixer has a stated output capacity of up to 25 tons per hour.
Secondary Mixer
A medium-shear secondary mixer is mounted in the receiving hopper. It provides an additional mixing stage before the material is pumped.
This two-stage design creates a continuous material preparation process for refractory installation.
High-Pressure Swing Tube Pump
The MX-20CM uses a 4-inch x 36-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
The pump is designed for rugged refractory pump-cast and shotcrete applications and provides:
0–25 tons/hour pump 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 oversized differential cylinders are designed to provide high discharge pressure while requiring comparatively lower hydraulic pressure for operation.
Efficient Furnace Refractory Placement
Using an integrated mixer and pump can simplify refractory placement operations.
The MX-20CM moves material through the machine from the dry hopper to the primary mixer, secondary mixer, receiving hopper, and pump.
This arrangement can help contractors:
Reduce material handling
Maintain continuous material flow
Simplify jobsite operations
Reduce transfers between separate machines
Support high-volume refractory placement
For furnace maintenance and installation projects, these features can help create a more streamlined material placement process.
Efficient Kiln Refractory Installation
Kiln maintenance often requires equipment that can deliver refractory materials efficiently to areas that may be difficult to access.
The MX-20CM's high-pressure pump and continuous mixing system provide an integrated approach to material preparation and placement.
Depending on the specified refractory material and installation method, the machine can support pump-cast and shotcrete applications.
Swing-Out Receiving Hopper
Maintenance accessibility is an important feature when selecting refractory furnace lining equipment.
The MX-20CM includes a swing-out receiving hopper that provides access to the swing tube section of the pump.
This design can make routine:
Cleaning
Inspection
Pump servicing
Swing tube maintenance
Material removal
more convenient.
Forklift tubing mounted to the lower hopper also supports flat-pack removal.
Reduced Dust and Cleanup
The continuous mixer is designed to minimize dust generated during charging.
The MX-20CM is also designed for quicker mixer cleanup and reduced material waste. These features can be useful for contractors working on furnace and kiln projects where equipment may need frequent cleaning between applications.
MX-20CM Power Options
The MX-20CM is available with several power configurations.
Diesel Options
99 HP John Deere water-cooled diesel
102 HP Deutz water-cooled diesel
Electric Option
Dual electric motors
The two-stage mixer and pump system is designed to require approximately 100 HP.
The supplied manufacturer information states that the machine can reduce fuel consumption by up to 50% compared with competitive machines. Actual fuel consumption will vary depending on operating conditions, material, workload, and machine configuration.
