Blastcrete MasonMate: Professional Equipment for Modern Masonry
Professional masonry work requires more than hand tools. On large construction projects, specialized equipment can help crews manage material preparation, transportation, and placement more efficiently.
The Blastcrete MasonMate combines essential block filling functions in one machine. Its 2-inch D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump is driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox, while the high-shear continuous mixer supports material preparation. An integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify material 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 looking beyond conventional professional masonry tools, the MasonMate provides a specialized solution for demanding block filling applications.
Key Benefits of the Blastcrete MasonMate
1. Reduce Manual Labor and Material Handling
Traditional CMU block filling may require bucket brigades, with workers manually moving material to the placement area. This approach can increase labor requirements and slow construction progress.
The 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 Block Filling Efficiency
The integrated high-shear continuous mixer and D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump support material preparation and delivery through one coordinated system.
With a rated output range of 0–6 cubic yards per hour, the MasonMate is designed for high-rise block filling applications. Actual production depends on material characteristics, operating conditions, and job-site requirements.
Combining mixing and pumping helps simplify equipment setup and supports a more organized material placement workflow.
3. Simplify Bulk Material Loading
The built-in 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps streamline material loading and reduce manual handling requirements.
By combining bulk bag lifting, continuous mixing, and hydraulic pumping, the MasonMate helps organize the process from material loading through CMU wall filling.
4. Support Multi-Story Construction Projects
Moving equipment between floors can be challenging on high-rise 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 machine.
5. Help Reduce Dust and Improve Job-Site Organization
Repeated manual material transfers can generate dust and add unnecessary 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 more efficient use of available labor.
