High-volume refractory projects require equipment that can deliver consistent material preparation and dependable pumping performance. The Blastcrete MX-20CM Mixer/Pump is designed for refractory placement applications ranging from smaller installations of approximately 2–3 tons per hour to high-volume production of up to 25 tons per hour.
For contractors and industrial facilities searching for a 25 ton per hour refractory installation machine, the MX-20CM combines a high-shear continuous mixer with a 4-inch high-pressure swing tube piston pump in one integrated unit.
High-Volume Refractory Installation With the MX-20CM
The MX-20CM uses a two-stage mixing system to prepare refractory material continuously. A compact high-shear primary mixer hydrates the material before transferring it to a secondary medium-shear mixer located in the receiving hopper.
With a mixer output of up to 25 tons per hour and pump output of up to 25 tons per hour, the machine is designed to support demanding refractory placement schedules while maintaining continuous material flow.
This makes the MX-20CM suitable for projects where production capacity, material consistency, and equipment efficiency are important considerations.
4-Inch Swing Tube Piston Pump
At the pumping stage, the MX-20CM incorporates a 4-inch x 36-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
The pump provides:
0–25 tons/hour output
2,200 PSI piston face pressure
4-inch x 36-inch swing tube configuration
Hydraulic agitator in the receiving hopper
Oversized differential cylinders
The high-pressure pumping system is designed for rugged refractory pump casting and shotcrete applications. The oversized differential cylinders allow the pump to achieve high discharge pressure while operating at comparatively lower hydraulic pressure.
Efficient Two-Stage Mixing
One of the defining characteristics of the MX-20CM is its two-stage mixing configuration.
The primary continuous mixer provides high-shear mixing and hydration, while the secondary mixer helps maintain material preparation as the material enters the pumping system.
This continuous process can help reduce the interruptions associated with conventional batch mixing. The supplied product information also indicates that the system can minimize dust during mixer charging and simplify cleanup while generating less waste.
Designed for High-Production Refractory Work
A 25 ton per hour refractory installation machine needs more than a high pump rating. The entire material-handling system must be capable of supporting the required production rate.
The MX-20CM includes a 3,000-pound dry hopper and a 1,500-pound receiving hopper, providing substantial material capacity for continuous operation.
Its swing-out receiving hopper also provides convenient access to the swing tube section, making cleaning and routine maintenance easier.
Mobility and Jobsite Handling
The MX-20CM has a towing weight of approximately 7,500 pounds and is mounted on a trailer with dual 6,000-pound-capacity axles, electric braking, and lights.
Additional handling features include:
Four-point crane pickup
No spreader bar required for crane pickup
Forklift tubing mounted to the lower hopper
Flat-pack removal capability
Trailer-mounted configuration
No special license needed to tow, according to the supplied product information
CE certification
These features can make the machine practical for projects where equipment must be transported, positioned, or relocated.

Applications of a 25 Ton Per Hour Refractory Installation Machine
With its combination of continuous mixing and high-pressure pumping, the MX-20CM is designed for demanding refractory placement work. Its capabilities are particularly relevant where large quantities of refractory material need to be mixed, hydrated, and pumped efficiently.
The machine can also be used for rugged shotcrete applications, according to the supplied specifications.
Why Consider the MX-20CM?
The MX-20CM brings several operations together in a single machine:
Continuous mixing + material hydration + secondary mixing + high-pressure pumping + transportable equipment design.
Its maximum 25-ton-per-hour capacity allows it to accommodate both smaller refractory installations and high-volume production requirements. The integrated design can also simplify equipment coordination by combining the mixer and pump into one system.
