Dust control is an important consideration in modern construction. Masonry contractors working on commercial buildings and high-rise projects need equipment that helps manage dust, simplify material handling, and improve job-site productivity. Choosing the right dust reduction construction equipment can help create a cleaner work environment while supporting efficient material placement.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is a specialized masonry machine designed for high-rise concrete masonry unit (CMU) block filling applications. It combines a D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump, a high-shear continuous mixer, and a 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter to streamline material handling and pumping operations.
Designed to reduce dust associated with conventional material handling, the Blastcrete MasonMate helps contractors eliminate traditional CMU block fill bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%. Its integrated design helps minimize repetitive material transfers, improve workflow efficiency, and support construction productivity.

Why Dust Reduction Construction Equipment Matters
Construction activities involving dry cementitious materials can generate airborne dust during bag handling, loading, mixing, and material transfer. Excessive dust can affect workplace cleanliness, visibility, and worker exposure.
Using suitable dust reduction construction equipment can help contractors improve material handling practices and manage dust at important stages of the construction process.
Effective dust management strategies include:
Reducing unnecessary transfers of dry materials.
Using appropriate bulk material handling systems.
Minimizing dust-producing activities during loading and mixing.
Maintaining suitable ventilation and housekeeping practices.
Following applicable workplace dust-control requirements.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to help reduce dust associated with conventional block filling and material handling methods while integrating several essential operations into one machine.
Blastcrete MasonMate: Integrated Equipment for High-Rise Masonry
The Blastcrete MasonMate combines material loading, continuous mixing, and hydraulic pumping in a compact system designed for high-rise block filling.
Its high-shear continuous mixer supports material preparation, while the D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump delivers material through a 2-inch heavy-duty discharge system. The integrated bulk bag lifter helps simplify loading and reduce the need for repeated manual material handling.
By bringing these operations together, the MasonMate can help contractors streamline their workflow and reduce unnecessary movement of materials around the job site.
The machine is designed to fit within a suitable freight elevator or can be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. It is also designed for pallet-jack movement and operation in areas with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
These features make the MasonMate a practical option for contractors seeking to improve material handling efficiency on multi-story construction projects.
5 Benefits of Dust Reduction Construction Equipment
1. Reduce Dust from Repeated Material Transfers
Repeatedly moving dry materials between bags, mixing areas, and placement locations can contribute to dust generation.
The MasonMate integrates bulk bag lifting, continuous mixing, and pumping to help streamline material handling. Reducing unnecessary transfers can help limit opportunities for dust to escape into the surrounding work area.
Actual dust levels depend on the material, loading method, environmental conditions, and operating practices.
2. Simplify Bulk Material Handling
The integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify the loading process and reduce repetitive manual handling.
Combining material loading with mixing and pumping can help contractors organize their workflow and reduce the number of separate material-handling steps.
3. Improve High-Rise Block Filling Productivity
Manual bucket brigade methods can require significant coordination and repetitive labor. The MasonMate is designed to eliminate traditional CMU block fill bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%.
Reducing manual transportation can help crews focus on other construction tasks while supporting more efficient block filling operations.
4. Support Efficient Material Placement
The D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump and high-shear continuous mixer are designed to work together to support material preparation and delivery.
With a rated output of 0–6 cubic yards per hour and a pumping pressure of 400 PSI, the MasonMate provides a specialized solution for high-rise block filling applications. Actual output depends on the material, pumping distance, and operating conditions.
5. Help Maintain a Cleaner Job Site
Reducing unnecessary material movement can help contractors organize work areas and simplify cleanup.
When combined with appropriate dust-control procedures, equipment selection, and housekeeping practices, an integrated material handling system can contribute to better job-site management.
The MasonMate should be used alongside appropriate dust-control measures; it does not eliminate the need for suitable ventilation, housekeeping, or personal protective equipment.
