When refractory installation projects demand consistent mixing, reliable material delivery, and high production capacity, choosing the right equipment is essential. The MX-20CM Mixer/Pump combines a high-shear continuous mixer with a high-pressure swing tube piston pump to support demanding refractory placement applications.
The continuous mixer for refractory materials is designed for both smaller installations and high-volume operations, with a stated mixer and pump output of up to 25 tons per hour.
MX-20CM: Continuous Mixing and Pumping in One Machine
The Blastcrete MX-20CM uses a two-stage mixing system. The primary continuous mixer provides high-shear mixing and hydration, while a secondary medium-shear mixer is mounted in the receiving hopper of the 4-inch high-pressure swing tube pump.
This arrangement is designed to provide continuous material preparation and pumping while reducing cleanup time and material waste.
The MX-20CM can accommodate applications ranging from approximately 2–3 tons per hour for smaller refractory installations to up to 25 tons per hour for high-volume work.
High-Shear Continuous Mixer for Refractory Materials
A major feature of the MX-20CM is its high-shear continuous mixer, which is specified for output up to 25 tons per hour. Continuous mixing can help maintain a steady material supply to the pumping system during extended installation work.
The machine also incorporates a secondary mixer in the receiving hopper. This two-stage approach is intended to improve material preparation while keeping the pumping process continuous.
High-Pressure Pumping System
The MX-20CM incorporates a 4-inch x 36-inch ultra-high-pressure swing tube piston pump. Its specified piston face pressure is 2,200 PSI, making the machine suitable for demanding refractory pump cast and shotcrete applications.
Oversized differential cylinders allow the pump to operate with lower hydraulic pressure while maintaining the specified discharge capability.
The swing-out receiving hopper provides access to the swing tube section, simplifying cleaning and maintenance.

Why Choose the MX-20CM?
For contractors handling substantial refractory installation projects, combining mixing and pumping equipment into one system can simplify material handling and job-site operations. The MX-20CM's continuous high-shear mixer, secondary mixer, and high-pressure swing tube pump are designed to work together as an integrated material preparation and delivery system.
Its stated 25-ton-per-hour capacity, 3,000-lb dry hopper, and 7,500-lb towing weight make it a practical option to evaluate for both mobile and high-volume refractory applications.
