Modern refractory projects demand equipment that can combine reliable mixing, high-volume production, and controlled material placement. The Blastcrete MX-20CM Mixer/Pump is designed as an integrated solution for refractory installation and shotcrete applications, combining a two-stage high-shear continuous mixer with a 4-inch high-pressure swing-tube piston pump.

Industrial Refractory Equipment for High-Volume Applications
The MX-20CM is engineered to support both smaller refractory installations and high-volume projects. According to the supplied specifications, the system can handle approximately 2–3 tons per hour on smaller installations and up to 25 tons per hour at maximum rated capacity.
Its two-stage mixing arrangement is a central feature. A high-shear primary continuous mixer hydrates the material, while a medium-shear secondary mixer is mounted in the receiving hopper of the pump. This integrated configuration helps maintain a continuous flow from mixing through pumping.
For companies evaluating industrial refractory equipment, combining the mixer and pump into one mobile system can simplify material handling and reduce the need for separate equipment.
High-Shear Continuous Mixing
The MX-20CM incorporates a high-shear continuous mixer with a rated output of 0–25 tons per hour.
The design is intended to provide:
Continuous mixing and hydration
High-volume material processing
Reduced dust during charging
Faster mixer cleanup
Low material waste
Direct transfer into the receiving hopper
The receiving hopper has a 1,500-pound capacity and includes a hydraulic agitator to assist material movement into the pumping system.
4-Inch Swing-Tube Piston Pump
A major component of the MX-20CM is its 4-inch x 36-inch ultra-high-pressure swing-tube piston pump.
The pump is specified with a 2,200 PSI piston face pressure and a rated output of up to 25 tons per hour. This configuration is intended for demanding refractory pump-cast and shotcrete applications.
Oversized differential cylinders help reduce the hydraulic pressure required to operate the pump while allowing the system to maintain high discharge pressure.
Efficient Two-Stage Mixer and Pump Design
The MX-20CM's two-stage design combines primary high-shear mixing with secondary mixing in the receiving hopper. This arrangement is intended to improve material handling while minimizing unnecessary transfer points.
The supplied product information states that the system requires approximately 100 HP, with the two-stage mixer and oversized differential contributing to reduced fuel consumption compared with competitive machines.
Actual fuel consumption and production rates will vary according to material, operating conditions, conveying distance, and application requirements.
Maintenance-Friendly Construction
Industrial refractory equipment must be accessible for regular cleaning and maintenance. The MX-20CM uses a swing-out receiving hopper, providing access to the swing-tube section for cleaning and service.
Other practical features include:
Forklift tubing mounted to the lower hopper
Four-point crane pickup
No spreader bar required for crane lifting
Solid-state electronic controls
0–20 gallon flow meter
Electric-braked trailer
These features are designed to simplify equipment handling and routine servicing at industrial jobsites.

Why Consider the MX-20CM?
When selecting a refractory pump manufacturer, contractors and industrial operators should consider pumping pressure, mixing capacity, maintenance access, mobility, power requirements, and overall production capability.
The MX-20CM combines these functions in a single machine. Its high-shear continuous mixer provides a rated capacity of up to 25 tons per hour, while the 4-inch swing-tube piston pump provides the pressure and pumping capability needed for demanding refractory and shotcrete applications.
Applications for Industrial Refractory Work
The MX-20CM is designed for applications where refractory materials need to be continuously mixed and pumped. Potential applications include:
Industrial refractory installation
Refractory pump casting
Furnace maintenance
High-temperature equipment repair
Industrial lining projects
Shotcrete applications
High-volume refractory placement
Material compatibility and application suitability should always be confirmed for the specific refractory formulation and project conditions.
