What Is the Blastcrete MasonMate?
The Blastcrete MasonMate is specialized masonry construction equipment designed to simplify high-rise block filling operations. By combining material loading, continuous mixing, and hydraulic pumping, the machine helps contractors streamline material preparation and placement.
Its main components include a 2-inch D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox, a high-shear continuous mixer, and a 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter.
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 within a freight elevator or be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. It can also be moved with a pallet jack and is designed to operate in spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
Benefits of Masonry Grout Placement Equipment
Efficient material placement equipment can help contractors reduce manual handling, coordinate material preparation, and improve construction workflows. The Blastcrete MasonMate offers several advantages for high-rise masonry applications.
1. Reduce Labor Requirements by Up to 75%
Traditional CMU block filling may require bucket brigades to transport material manually around the job site. This process can increase labor requirements and slow down placement operations.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to eliminate these bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%. This can help contractors allocate their workforce more efficiently and reduce time spent on manual material handling.
2. Combine Continuous Mixing and Hydraulic 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 production rates depend on material characteristics, operating conditions, and job-site requirements.
Combining mixing and pumping in one machine helps simplify equipment setup and supports a coordinated material placement process.
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 supports a more organized workflow from material loading to block filling.
4. Improve Equipment Access on High-Rise Projects
Transporting 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 compact dimensions and pallet-jack mobility help simplify equipment positioning in appropriate work areas. The machine is also designed to operate in spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
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 crews organize material placement and maintain a more efficient workflow.
