What Is the Blastcrete MasonMate?

The Blastcrete MasonMate is purpose-built masonry equipment designed to simplify high-rise block filling. It combines bulk material loading, continuous mixing, and hydraulic pumping to help contractors manage material placement 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 ongoing material preparation, while the integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify bulk material loading.

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.

Designed for demanding construction environments, the MasonMate can fit inside a suitable freight elevator or be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. It is also designed for pallet-jack movement and operation in spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.

Why Choose Labor Saving Masonry Equipment?

Masonry projects often require significant labor for transporting, mixing, and placing materials. Traditional block filling methods can involve repetitive manual handling that slows production and increases workforce demands.

The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to help address these challenges through several key benefits.

1. Reduce On-the-Job Labor by Up to 75%

Traditional CMU block filling may require bucket brigades to move material manually around a construction site. This process can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to eliminate these bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%. This helps contractors allocate workers more efficiently and reduce repetitive material handling.

2. Combine Continuous Mixing and Pumping

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 high-rise block filling applications. Actual output depends on material characteristics, job-site conditions, and operating requirements.

Combining mixing and pumping in one machine helps simplify equipment setup and supports a coordinated material placement process.

3. Simplify Bulk Material Loading

The integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify loading and reduce manual handling requirements.

By combining bulk bag lifting, continuous mixing, and pumping in one system, the MasonMate helps create a more organized workflow from material loading to block filling.

4. Improve Access on High-Rise Construction Sites

Moving equipment between floors can be challenging on multi-story projects. The MasonMate is designed to fit inside a suitable freight elevator and can also be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane.

Its pallet-jack mobility supports movement around suitable job-site areas, while its low-clearance design accommodates spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.

These features help contractors manage equipment access in appropriate high-rise construction environments. Elevator dimensions, weight limits, and lifting requirements should always be verified before moving the machine.

5. Help Reduce Dust and Improve Productivity

Manual material transfer can generate 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 teams organize placement activities and improve workflow efficiency.
