What Is the Blastcrete MasonMate?
The Blastcrete MasonMate is specialized commercial masonry equipment designed for high-rise block fill applications. Its integrated pumping, mixing, and material handling systems help contractors simplify the process of filling concrete masonry walls.
The machine features a 2-inch D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox, along with a high-shear continuous mixer for material preparation. Its integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps streamline material loading and reduce manual handling.
The MasonMate is offered with a 35 HP Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine configuration, with additional power options available for different job-site requirements.
Designed for challenging construction environments, the machine can fit inside a freight elevator or be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. It is also designed to move with a pallet jack and operate in areas with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
These features make the Blastcrete MasonMate a practical choice for commercial contractors seeking efficient block filling equipment.
Benefits of Commercial Masonry Equipment for Construction Projects
Investing in purpose-built commercial masonry equipment can help construction teams improve material placement, reduce manual work, and maintain more efficient operations.
1. Reduce Labor Costs by Up to 75%
Traditional CMU block filling can involve labor-intensive bucket brigades to move material around a construction site. The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to eliminate this process, helping reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%.
Reducing manual material handling can allow contractors to use their workforce more efficiently, manage labor expenses, and keep projects moving toward completion.
2. Improve Block Filling Productivity
The MasonMate combines a D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump with a high-shear continuous mixer to support efficient mixing and pumping operations.
With a rated output range of 0–6 cubic yards per hour, the machine provides contractors with a dedicated solution for CMU block filling. Actual production rates depend on material properties, site conditions, and the specific application.
3. Simplify Equipment Access on High-Rise Projects
Commercial construction projects often involve restricted access, limited space, and the challenge of transporting equipment between floors.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to fit within a freight elevator and can also be moved into position with a telescoping forklift or crane. Its pallet-jack mobility and compact footprint help simplify equipment positioning in suitable work areas.
The machine's ability to operate under 8-foot ceilings also supports use in many low-clearance construction environments.
4. Streamline Bulk Material Handling
Manual loading and handling can increase labor requirements and contribute to dust on construction sites. The MasonMate's 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify the material loading process and reduce manual handling demands.
By integrating material loading, continuous mixing, and pumping, the machine helps contractors organize their block filling operations more efficiently.
5. Support Cost-Effective Equipment Operation
Commercial masonry contractors need equipment that supports productivity while keeping operating and maintenance expenses manageable.
The MasonMate features a heavy-duty planetary gearbox, a hydraulic squeeze pump, and pumping tubes designed for extended service life. These design features support the manufacturer's emphasis on durability, ease of maintenance, and long-term equipment value.
