Blastcrete MasonMate: A Smart Contractor Equipment Solution
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to simplify masonry block filling by integrating essential material handling and pumping functions into one machine.
Its 2-inch D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump is driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox. The high-shear continuous mixer supports material preparation, while the integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify loading and reduce repetitive manual handling.
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 high-rise construction, the MasonMate can 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 work areas with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
For contractors seeking specialized equipment solutions, the MasonMate combines several essential block filling functions in one integrated system.
Key Benefits of the Blastcrete MasonMate
1. Reduce Labor Costs and Manual Handling
Traditional CMU block filling often involves bucket brigades, requiring workers to transport material manually to the placement area. This process can increase labor demands, create additional handling steps, and slow project progress.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to eliminate traditional 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. Improve Material Placement Efficiency
The integrated high-shear continuous mixer and D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump support material preparation and delivery through a coordinated system.
With a rated output range of 0–6 cubic yards per hour, the MasonMate provides a specialized solution for high-rise block filling applications. Actual output depends on material characteristics, operating conditions, and job-site requirements.
This integrated approach helps simplify equipment setup and supports a more organized material placement process.
3. Simplify Bulk Material Loading
The built-in 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps streamline material loading and reduce manual handling requirements.
Combining bulk bag lifting, continuous mixing, and pumping helps contractors organize operations from material loading through CMU wall filling.
4. Support High-Rise Construction 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 low-clearance design accommodates spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
Contractors should verify elevator dimensions, load limits, lifting arrangements, and site access requirements before transporting the equipment.
5. Help Reduce Dust and Improve Workflow
Repeated manual material transfers can generate dust and require additional 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 crews coordinate material placement and make better use of available labor.
