High-volume refractory installation requires equipment that can combine consistent material mixing, dependable pumping, and efficient operation. The Blastcrete MX-20CM Mixer/Pump is designed for this type of demanding work, offering a continuous high-shear mixing system and a high-pressure swing tube piston pump in one compact machine.
With a stated capacity of up to 25 tons per hour, the MX-20CM can support both smaller refractory projects and high-volume applications where production capacity is a priority.
Designed for High-Volume Refractory Placement
The MX-20CM is a refractory mixer pump for high volume applications that uses a two-stage mixing process. A high-shear primary continuous mixer hydrates the material before it moves into a secondary mixer mounted inside the receiving hopper.
This arrangement is designed to provide efficient material preparation while reducing dust generated during charging. The supplied specifications also indicate that the system can reduce cleanup time and material waste compared with conventional mixing arrangements.
The machine can operate at approximately 2–3 tons per hour for smaller installations, while its maximum stated pump and mixer output is 25 tons per hour.
High-Pressure Pumping System
The MX-20CM features a 4" x 36" ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump designed for demanding refractory pump-cast and shotcrete applications.
Its stated piston face pressure is 2,200 PSI. Oversized differential cylinders allow the pumping system to use lower hydraulic pressure while maintaining high discharge pressure.
Pump Specifications
Pump type: 4" x 36" ultra-high-pressure swing tube pump
Pump output: 0–25 tons per hour
Piston face pressure: 2,200 PSI
Receiving hopper: 1,500 lb. capacity
Hydraulic agitator: Included in receiving hopper
High-Shear Continuous Mixing
Consistent mixing is especially important when handling refractory materials for large installations. The MX-20CM's primary mixer uses high-shear continuous mixing and is rated for output of up to 25 tons per hour.
A 3,000-lb. dry hopper provides material capacity for continuous operation, while the secondary mixer in the receiving hopper helps prepare material for the pumping stage.
This combination makes the MX-20CM suitable for projects where maintaining a steady material flow is essential.

Pendant remote
Skid mounting with forklift tubing
Why Choose the MX-20CM for High-Volume Applications?
For contractors and industrial operators handling substantial refractory volumes, equipment capacity is an important consideration. The MX-20CM combines a 25-ton-per-hour continuous mixer with a pump rated for the same maximum output.
Its integrated mixing and pumping arrangement can help streamline material handling by moving from hydration and mixing directly into the pumping system.
The machine's stated towing weight of 7,500 pounds also provides a mobile solution for projects requiring equipment to be transported between installation locations.
