Blastcrete MasonMate: Specialized Equipment for Masonry Construction
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed specifically for high-rise block filling applications. It integrates material loading, continuous mixing, and hydraulic pumping to help contractors manage material placement more efficiently.
At the heart of the machine is a 2-inch D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox. A 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.
The MasonMate is designed to fit inside a suitable freight elevator or be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. Its pallet-jack mobility and low-clearance design also support use in appropriate construction environments with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
Why Choose Specialized Construction Equipment?
Construction contractors face ongoing challenges involving labor availability, material handling, equipment access, and project schedules. Specialized machinery can help address these demands by simplifying repetitive tasks and coordinating essential construction processes.
The Blastcrete MasonMate offers several benefits for high-rise masonry operations.
1. Reduce Manual Labor by Up to 75%
Traditional CMU block filling can involve bucket brigades that require workers to transport material manually. This process can increase labor requirements and slow down placement operations.
The MasonMate is designed to eliminate these bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%. This can help contractors allocate workers more efficiently and reduce repetitive material handling.
2. Combine Continuous Mixing and Hydraulic Pumping
The MasonMate combines 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, operating conditions, and job-site requirements.
Integrating mixing and pumping into one machine helps simplify equipment setup and supports a more coordinated material placement workflow.
3. Simplify Bulk Material Handling
The integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify material loading and reduce manual handling requirements.
By combining bulk bag lifting, continuous mixing, and pumping in one system, the MasonMate helps organize the workflow from material loading to CMU wall filling.
4. Support Equipment Access on High-Rise Projects
Moving equipment between floors can be challenging on multi-story construction sites. 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 work areas, while its design accommodates spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
Contractors should verify elevator dimensions, load limits, and lifting requirements before transporting the machine between floors.
5. Help Reduce Dust and Improve Workflow
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 unnecessary material transfers can also help construction teams organize placement activities and improve workflow efficiency.

What to Consider When Selecting a Construction Equipment Manufacturer
Selecting construction equipment involves more than comparing initial purchase prices. Contractors should consider how well the machine fits the project's material requirements, available power supply, access limitations, maintenance needs, and expected production rates.
When evaluating specialized block filling equipment, consider:
Application suitability: Confirm that the machine is appropriate for the intended grout or block fill material.
Production capacity: Compare the rated output with project requirements.
Equipment access: Check dimensions, elevator capacity, and available lifting equipment.
Power requirements: Determine whether gasoline, diesel, or electric operation is most suitable.
Maintenance: Review pumping tube service requirements and equipment support.
Optional accessories: Identify the additional features needed for the job site.
