Shotcrete Pump Machine: Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Pump for Efficient Concrete Placement
Looking for a reliable shotcrete pump machine for construction, concrete repair, and specialized material placement? The Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Pump is a hydraulic squeeze pump attachment designed for pumping compatible grout, shotcrete, and structural concrete mixes. With variable-speed operation, a universal skid steer mounting plate, and a maintenance-friendly design, it offers a versatile solution for contractors working on demanding construction projects.
The Blastcrete RD6536 delivers a variable pumping output from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour. Its 3-inch hydraulic squeeze pump supports compatible shotcrete mixes containing aggregate up to 3/8 inch, along with structural concrete mixes containing aggregate up to 3/4 inch.
For contractors seeking a practical shotcrete pumping solution, the RD6536 combines adjustable material flow, convenient equipment integration, and accessible maintenance.
What Is the Blastcrete RD6536 Shotcrete Pump Machine?
The Blastcrete RD6536 is a hydraulic concrete pump attachment designed for use with compatible skid steer loaders. It uses a 3-inch hydraulic squeeze pumping system to transfer suitable cementitious materials through a rubber pumping tube.
Unlike equipment that allows pumped material to contact multiple internal moving components, the squeeze pump design keeps the material away from the pump's moving mechanical parts. This helps reduce material-related wear on those components and simplifies maintenance.
The RD6536 is designed for several applications, including:
Grout pumping for suitable construction and repair work.
Shotcrete applications using compatible mixes containing aggregate up to 3/8 inch.
Structural concrete pumping with compatible mixes containing aggregate up to 3/4 inch.
Concrete placement projects requiring controlled material delivery.
Its variable-speed operation allows contractors to adjust the pumping rate according to project requirements and material characteristics.
Key Features of the RD6536 Shotcrete Pump
The Blastcrete RD6536 includes features designed to support practical operation and reliable material handling on construction sites.
3-Inch Hydraulic Squeeze Pump: Designed for compatible grout, shotcrete, and structural concrete mixes.
Variable-Speed Output: Adjustable pumping capacity from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour.
Universal Skid Steer Mounting Plate: Designed for installation on compatible skid steer loaders.
Manual Hydraulic Controls: Provides direct control over pumping operations.
Hydraulic Remixer: Integrated into the receiving hopper to help maintain material consistency.
Forklift Pick-Up: Supports equipment handling and transportation.
Field-Replaceable Rubber Pumping Tube: The primary wear component can reportedly be replaced in approximately 20 minutes.
Concrete Mix Capability: Handles compatible structural concrete mixes containing aggregate up to 3/4 inch.
These features make the RD6536 worth considering for contractors who need a versatile concrete pumping attachment for shotcrete and related applications.
Applications of a Shotcrete Pump Machine
A shotcrete pump machine helps deliver a suitable concrete mixture to a placement area through a pumping system. The RD6536 can support selected shotcrete and concrete applications when used with compatible mixes and an appropriate delivery setup.
1. Shotcrete Concrete Repair
Shotcrete is used in various concrete repair and rehabilitation projects. The RD6536 supports compatible shotcrete mixes containing aggregate up to 3/8 inch, making it an option for suitable material delivery requirements.
2. Grout Pumping
The RD6536 is designed to pump compatible grout materials for selected construction, filling, and repair applications where controlled material flow is important.
3. Structural Concrete Placement
The pump can handle compatible structural concrete mixes containing aggregate up to 3/4 inch. Contractors should verify the mix design and pumping requirements before beginning work.
4. Concrete Placement Over Distance
The supplied specifications list a vertical pumping distance of up to 100 feet and a horizontal pumping distance of up to 250 feet. These capabilities can help deliver compatible materials to locations away from the equipment.
Actual pumping performance depends on the material mix, hose configuration, site conditions, and operating setup.
Important: Pumping shotcrete material is not the same as completing the entire shotcrete application. Spraying concrete also requires suitable application equipment, hoses, nozzles, and an appropriate setup for the intended method.
