What Is the Blastcrete MasonMate?
The Blastcrete MasonMate is specialized masonry construction equipment developed for high-rise block fill applications. It integrates pumping, continuous mixing, and bulk material handling to help construction crews complete block filling operations more efficiently.
The machine features a 2-inch D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox. Its high-shear continuous mixer supports material preparation, while the integrated bulk bag lifter simplifies the loading process.
In the specified configuration, the MasonMate operates with a 35 HP Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine. Alternative power options include a Kubota water-cooled diesel engine and a 30 HP electric motor with starter and disconnect.
Designed with construction site access in mind, the unit can fit inside a freight elevator or be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. Its compact dimensions and pallet-jack mobility make it a practical option for suitable high-rise construction environments.
Why Quality Masonry Construction Equipment Matters
Masonry projects often involve demanding material handling, tight construction schedules, and significant labor requirements. Using equipment designed for the specific application can help contractors address these challenges.
The Blastcrete MasonMate supports more efficient block filling through several important advantages.
1. Reduce Labor Requirements by Up to 75%
Traditional CMU block filling may involve labor-intensive bucket brigades to transport material to the placement area. The MasonMate is designed to eliminate this process, helping reduce manual handling and on-the-job labor by up to 75%.
Lower labor requirements can improve workforce allocation and help contractors manage project costs more effectively.
2. Improve Material Placement Efficiency
The integrated high-shear continuous mixer and D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump support continuous mixing and pumping operations.
With an output capacity of up to 6 cubic yards per hour, the MasonMate helps contractors move material efficiently through the block filling process. Actual output depends on material characteristics, job-site conditions, and application requirements.
3. Simplify Equipment Movement on High-Rise Projects
Moving masonry construction equipment between floors can be challenging, especially when space is limited. The MasonMate is designed to fit within a freight elevator and can also be transported into position using a telescoping forklift or crane.
Its pallet-jack mobility provides additional flexibility when moving the unit around suitable work areas. The machine is also designed to operate in spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
4. Support Cleaner and More Organized Job Sites
Manual bulk material handling can generate dust and increase the physical demands on workers. The MasonMate's 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify loading and reduce manual material handling.
By combining mixing, pumping, and bulk bag handling in one machine, contractors can streamline their block fill operations and improve job-site organization.
5. Help Control Equipment Ownership Costs
Reliable masonry construction equipment can contribute to long-term project profitability by helping manage operating and maintenance expenses.
The MasonMate features a heavy-duty planetary gearbox and a hydraulic squeeze pump designed for straightforward operation. Its pumping tubes are engineered for extended service life, supporting the manufacturer's focus on durability and maintenance efficiency.
