Industrial refractory installation requires equipment that can deliver consistent material mixing, reliable pumping pressure, and efficient operation. The MX-20CM refractory mixer pump is designed to combine these functions in a single machine for demanding refractory placement, pump-cast, and shotcrete applications.
The Blastcrete MX-20CM offers a production range from approximately 2–3 tons per hour for smaller installations to as much as 25 tons per hour for high-volume projects. Its two-stage mixing system and 4-inch high-pressure swing tube pump are designed to provide efficient material preparation and placement.
What Is a Refractory Mixer Pump?
A refractory mixer pump combines material mixing and pumping capabilities to help contractors place refractory materials efficiently at industrial worksites.
Instead of using separate equipment for mixing and pumping, the MX-20CM integrates a high-shear continuous mixer with a high-pressure piston pump. This configuration can help streamline refractory installation and reduce material handling.
The MX-20CM is particularly suited to applications where consistent mixing and high-volume pumping are important.
MX-20CM Refractory Pump
The MX-20CM refractory pump features a 4-inch x 36-inch swing tube piston pump with a piston face pressure of up to 2,200 PSI.
The system is designed for rugged refractory pump-cast and shotcrete applications, with a stated pumping capacity of up to 25 tons per hour.
Key pump characteristics include:
4-inch x 36-inch swing tube piston pump
Up to 2,200 PSI piston face pressure
Pump output of 0–25 tons per hour
Oversized differential cylinders
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Swing-out receiving hopper
Easy access to the swing tube section
The swing-out hopper design can make inspection, cleaning, and maintenance more convenient.
Two-Stage Mixing System
A major advantage of the MX-20CM refractory mixer pump is its two-stage mixing configuration.
The primary mixer is a compact, high-shear continuous mixer designed to hydrate the material. A secondary medium-shear mixer is positioned in the receiving hopper of the pump.
This arrangement helps prepare the material before it enters the pumping system and supports continuous material handling during refractory installation.
The high-shear continuous mixer has a stated capacity of up to 25 tons per hour.
Refractory Pump for Industrial Applications
The MX-20CM can be used for a variety of refractory and industrial applications where pumped material placement is required.
Potential applications include:
Furnace refractory installation
Kiln lining and repair
Boiler refractory work
Steel plant refractory applications
Cement plant maintenance
Foundry refractory installation
Industrial furnace repair
Refractory pump casting
Refractory castable placement
Shotcrete applications
High-volume refractory installation
Industrial refractory maintenance
The ability to operate at lower production rates as well as higher output levels makes the MX-20CM suitable for different project sizes.
Efficient Operation and Reduced Cleanup
The design of the MX-20CM refractory pump focuses not only on output but also on operating efficiency.
The two-stage mixer and oversized differential cylinders allow the machine to operate with approximately 100 HP, according to the supplied manufacturer specifications. The manufacturer states that this configuration can reduce fuel consumption by up to 50% compared with competitive machines.
The continuous mixer is also designed to minimize dust generated during charging and reduce cleanup time and material waste.
For contractors handling large quantities of refractory material, easier cleanup and maintenance can contribute to improved jobsite productivity.
Easy Maintenance with Swing-Out Hopper
Maintenance accessibility is an important consideration when selecting a refractory mixer pump.
The MX-20CM incorporates a swing-out receiving hopper that provides access to the swing tube pump section. This can simplify routine cleaning, inspection, and servicing.
The lower hopper also includes forklift tubing to assist with flat-pack removal, while the machine can be equipped with an automatic lubrication system as an optional feature.
