High-volume refractory installation requires equipment that can continuously mix, hydrate, and deliver refractory material with consistent pumping capacity. The Blastcrete MX-20CM is designed as an integrated mixer/pump for refractory placement, with a stated pump output of up to 25 tons per hour.
For contractors searching for a 25 ton per hour refractory pump or high output refractory pump, the MX-20CM combines a high-shear continuous mixer with a 4-inch high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
High Output Refractory Pump for Industrial Applications
The MX-20CM is designed to handle both smaller refractory installations and high-volume projects. Its stated operating range is approximately 2–3 tons per hour for smaller installations, with a maximum pump output of 25 tons per hour.
This makes the equipment suitable for contractors who need one machine capable of supporting different production requirements.
The integrated process is:
Material Charging → High-Shear Mixing → Secondary Mixing → Receiving Hopper → Piston Pump → Refractory Placement
25 Ton Per Hour Refractory Pump Capacity
The MX-20CM uses a 4" x 36" ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
Its stated pump specifications include:
Maximum output: 25 tons/hour
Piston face pressure: 2,200 PSI
Pump: 4" x 36" swing tube piston pump
Receiving hopper: 1,500 lb capacity
Hydraulic hopper agitator
The high-pressure pumping system is designed for rugged refractory pump-cast and shotcrete applications.
Two-Stage Mixing System
One of the key characteristics of the MX-20CM is its two-stage mixing configuration.
Primary High-Shear Mixer
The compact continuous mixer provides high-shear mixing and hydrates the material before pumping.
The mixer has a stated output of up to 25 tons per hour.
Secondary Mixer
A medium-shear secondary mixer is mounted in the receiving hopper. This provides another stage of mixing before the material enters the swing tube piston pump.
The combination allows mixing and pumping to be performed through one integrated machine.
High-Pressure Swing Tube Pump
The MX-20CM incorporates a swing tube piston pumping system designed for high-pressure material delivery.
The pump's 2,200 PSI piston face pressure is intended for demanding refractory pump-cast and shotcrete applications.
Oversized differential cylinders allow the pump to produce high discharge pressure while requiring comparatively lower hydraulic pressure for operation.
High Output for Large Refractory Projects
A high output refractory pump can help contractors handle large installation volumes without relying on multiple separate pumping units.
With a stated maximum output of 25 tons per hour, the MX-20CM can support high-volume refractory placement projects where material throughput is a priority.
Potential applications include:
Industrial furnace lining
Furnace repair
Kiln maintenance
Boiler refractory work
Steel plant refractory installation
Foundry applications
Refractory pump casting
Refractory shotcrete
Industrial refractory maintenance
High-volume refractory placement
Actual output depends on the refractory mix, pumping distance, hose arrangement, installation conditions, and operating configuration.
Swing-Out Receiving Hopper
The receiving hopper incorporates a swing-out design that provides access to the swing tube section.
This can make routine cleaning and maintenance more convenient.
The lower hopper also includes forklift tubing to assist with flat-pack removal.
Key maintenance-oriented features include:
Swing-out receiving hopper
Accessible swing tube section
Hydraulic hopper agitator
Forklift tubing
Optional automatic lubrication system
Optional hydraulic pressure washer
Dust and Cleanup Considerations
The MX-20CM is designed to minimize dust generated during charging of the continuous mixer.
The supplied information also states that continuous mixer cleanup is faster and generates very little waste.
For contractors completing multiple refractory projects, easier cleaning can help reduce equipment turnaround time between applications.

Why Consider the MX-20CM?
For contractors looking for a 25 ton per hour refractory pump, the MX-20CM provides an integrated mixing and pumping solution.
Its high-shear continuous mixer can produce up to 25 tons per hour, while the swing tube piston pump is also rated up to 25 tons per hour. The two-stage mixing system prepares and hydrates the material before high-pressure delivery.
This combination can be particularly useful for contractors handling high-volume refractory placement and suitable pump-cast or shotcrete applications.
The Blastcrete MX-20CM is a high-capacity mixer/pump designed for refractory placement. With a stated 25 tons per hour maximum pump output, 25 tons per hour mixer output, and 2,200 PSI piston face pressure, it provides the capacity required for many high-volume industrial refractory applications.
Its two-stage mixing system, 4-inch swing tube piston pump, swing-out receiving hopper, multiple power options, and available maintenance accessories make the MX-20CM a versatile option for contractors seeking a high output refractory pump.
