What Is the Blastcrete MasonMate?
The Blastcrete MasonMate is specialized commercial construction equipment designed to simplify block filling on high-rise building projects. By integrating material loading, continuous mixing, and hydraulic pumping, the machine helps contractors manage the block filling process more efficiently.
Its primary components include a 2-inch D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox, a high-shear continuous mixer, and a 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter.
The specified configuration 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.
The MasonMate is designed to fit inside a suitable freight elevator or be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. It can also be moved with a pallet jack and is designed to operate in spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
Why Commercial Building Projects Need Efficient Construction Equipment
Commercial construction projects often involve demanding schedules, multiple work areas, limited access, and significant material handling requirements. Selecting specialized equipment can help contractors address these challenges while improving workflow and labor efficiency.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to support high-rise CMU block filling with several practical advantages.
1. Reduce Labor Requirements by Up to 75%
Traditional CMU block filling can involve bucket brigades, requiring workers to transport material manually around the construction site. This approach can increase labor requirements and slow material placement.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to eliminate these bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%. This helps contractors use their workforce more efficiently and reduce repetitive manual handling.
2. Combine Mixing and Pumping in One Machine
The MasonMate integrates a high-shear continuous mixer with a D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump to support material preparation and delivery.
With a rated output range of 0–6 cubic yards per hour, the machine provides a dedicated solution for block filling applications. Actual output depends on material characteristics, site conditions, and operating requirements.
Combining mixing and pumping helps simplify equipment setup and supports a coordinated material placement process.
3. Simplify Bulk Material Handling
The integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify material loading and reduce manual handling requirements.
By bringing bulk bag lifting, continuous mixing, and pumping together in one system, the MasonMate helps contractors organize material handling more efficiently throughout the block filling process.
4. Improve Equipment Access on Multi-Story Projects
Transporting construction equipment between floors can be challenging when elevator capacity and available space are limited.
The MasonMate is designed to fit inside a suitable freight elevator and can also be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. Its compact dimensions and pallet-jack mobility help simplify movement around suitable work areas.
The machine is also designed to operate in spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet, providing flexibility for appropriate construction environments.
5. Help Reduce Dust and Improve Workflow
Manual material transfer can create dust and require repeated handling steps. The MasonMate's integrated material handling system is designed to help reduce dust associated with conventional handling methods.
Reducing manual transfers can also help construction crews organize their workflow and maintain more efficient material placement operations.
