Blastcrete introduces MX-20MT mixer/pump with 1tonne

US-made, CE certified: the MX-20MT mixer/pump from Blastcrete Equipment

Yet the higher-capacity MX-20MT has nearly the same compact footprint as its smaller cousin, according to the US company, based in Anniston, Alabama. It’s mounted to a single-chassis trailer for convenience as well as fast and easy transportation, setup and cleaning.

The MX-20MT is CE certified to meet European Union safety standards for equipment operation. It features a 1tonne mixer with a high-speed hydraulic agitator that keeps materials blended and in suspension as it flows to the 102mm swing-tube piston pump.

The pump has nearly 152bar pumping pressure for consistent installation of as much as 20tonnes of material per hour. Operators can vertically pump refractory material more than 91m.

“To achieve high output often requires a separate mixer and pump, which as doubling transport cost to jobsites as well doubles the setup time,” said Tripp Farrell, Blastcrete Equipment president. “We resolved these challenges and built a machine that is safe and simple to use, quick to clean and maintain and very user friendly.”

The MX-20MT can be set up by a single person, which saves labour and time.

Blastcrete preserved the popular swing-out hopper in its latest model, giving users quick cleanup and maintenance. Additionally, the 20-minute quick change-out flat pack provides low-cost insurance for contractors in quick turnaround installations. No other pump in the world offers these features, said Farrell.

The unit’s platform area - just over 2m² -

provides operators with 50% more space than competitive equipment, according to the company. Also, electrical controls are mounted on the platform but away from the mixer to remain free from debris and water.

There is an optional 138bar hydraulic pressure washer for easier cleanup and an automatic lubrication system for proper greasing of the swing-tube pump.

Customers can also use the unit with Blastcrete’s patented DustAway system, which consists of an innovative bulk bag design that attaches to a mixer to contain dust as the mixer fills. DustAway helps businesses meet impending US government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations for crystalline silica dust by controlling dust to within new permissible limits.

    Simex has continued with design refinements of the RW 500 wheel saw with the introduction of the RWA 500. The RWA 500 operates constantly perpendicular to the surface, even when the prime mover, a skidsteer wheeled loader, is at a slant. The RWA 500’s high productivity is a result of hydraulic piston motors in direct drive with the milling disk, which delivers maximum efficiency and a large cutting force. Operators are assured good visibility because the excavation depth corresponds exactly and
