Industrial refractory projects require equipment that can efficiently mix, handle, and place refractory materials under demanding jobsite conditions. The Blastcrete MX-20CM is designed as an integrated mixer and pump, combining continuous high-shear mixing with high-pressure material pumping.
As a refractory material pump, the MX-20CM can support both smaller refractory installations and high-volume projects. Its stated production range extends from approximately 2–3 tons per hour for smaller installations to up to 25 tons per hour for high-volume applications.
What Is a Refractory Material Pump?
A refractory material pump is designed to transport prepared refractory materials from a mixing system to the required placement location.
The MX-20CM combines the mixing and pumping processes in one machine. Its high-shear continuous mixer hydrates the material, while a secondary medium-shear mixer in the receiving hopper helps prepare the material before it enters the high-pressure swing tube pump.
The basic operating process is:
Material Charging → High-Shear Mixing → Secondary Mixing → Receiving Hopper → Pumping → Refractory Placement
This integrated approach is designed to support continuous material processing and efficient installation.
MX-20CM Refractory Material Pump
The MX-20CM refractory material pump features a 4-inch x 36-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump.
The pump provides a stated output of up to 25 tons per hour and a piston face pressure of 2,200 PSI.
Key pump features include:
4-inch x 36-inch swing tube piston pump
0–25 tons/hour output
2,200 PSI piston face pressure
Oversized differential cylinders
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Swing-out receiving hopper
The pump is designed for rugged refractory pump-cast and shotcrete applications.
Refractory Concrete Pump Applications
A refractory concrete pump must be capable of handling demanding materials and delivering them efficiently to areas where conventional placement methods may be difficult.
The MX-20CM can be used for a range of industrial refractory applications, including:
Furnace lining
Furnace repair
Kiln lining
Cement plant refractory maintenance
Steel plant applications
Boiler refractory work
Foundry applications
Industrial furnace maintenance
Refractory castable placement
Pump-cast refractory installation
Shotcrete applications
High-volume refractory repair
The machine's flexible output makes it suitable for both smaller maintenance projects and larger industrial installations.
High-Shear Continuous Mixer
The MX-20CM does more than pump refractory material. It incorporates a two-stage mixing system designed to continuously prepare material before pumping.
The primary mixer is a compact high-shear continuous mixer where the material is hydrated. A secondary medium-shear mixer is positioned in the receiving hopper.
The mixer has a stated output capacity of 0–25 tons per hour.
This configuration helps create a continuous process from material preparation through pumping and placement.
Two-Stage Mixing and Pumping System
The two-stage design is one of the key features of the MX-20CM refractory material pump.
Stage 1: High-Shear Mixing
The primary continuous mixer hydrates and prepares the material.
Stage 2: Secondary Mixing
The medium-shear mixer in the receiving hopper provides an additional stage of material processing before pumping.
Stage 3: High-Pressure Pumping
The prepared material enters the 4-inch swing tube piston pump for delivery to the installation location.
This integrated workflow can reduce the need for separate mixing and pumping equipment and simplify material handling at the jobsite.
High-Pressure Pump Performance
The MX-20CM's 4-inch swing tube piston pump is designed for high-pressure refractory and shotcrete applications.
Its 2,200 PSI piston face pressure and oversized differential cylinders provide the pumping capability required for demanding material placement.
The supplied specifications state that the oversized differential cylinders allow the machine to achieve high discharge pressure while operating with comparatively lower hydraulic pressure.
Easier Cleaning and Maintenance
Industrial refractory equipment must be practical to clean and maintain. The MX-20CM incorporates a swing-out receiving hopper designed to provide easier access to the swing tube pump section.
This can simplify:
Pump cleaning
Swing tube inspection
Routine servicing
Material removal
Maintenance access
Forklift tubing mounted to the lower hopper also assists with flat-pack removal.
The continuous mixer is designed to reduce dust generated during charging and support quicker cleanup with minimal waste.
Efficient Industrial Operation
The MX-20CM's two-stage mixer and pump configuration is designed to operate with approximately 100 HP, according to the supplied specifications.
Available power options include:
99 HP John Deere water-cooled diesel
102 HP Deutz water-cooled diesel
Dual electric motors
The supplied manufacturer information states that the efficient design can reduce fuel consumption by up to 50% compared with competitive equipment. Actual fuel consumption depends on operating conditions, material, workload, and configuration.
