Blastcrete is offering a versatile and durable new concrete mixer/pump
2647 Blastcrete Equipment claims that its RMX-5000 mixer/pump offers 15% more pumping pressure than any other machine in its class. The RMX-5000 is one of five mixer/pumps in Blastcrete’s lineup for refractory, shotcrete and concrete repair and is said to be user-friendly, safe and rugged enough to handle demanding installations.

The efficient unit is available with either a spiral mixer or a paddle mixer with a planetary gearbox. The spiral mixer is designed for conventional shotcrete in applications such as bridge repair projects. The paddle mixer provides the torque necessary for demanding applications, where materials are more difficult to mix.

With its 15.47bar piston pump, the RMX-5000 produces up to 3.923m3/hour and can achieve vertical pumping distances up to 137.2m. Optional automatic lubrication greases wear components during operation. It also features a 454kg mixer capacity and a 544.3kg hopper capacity. The RMX-5000 is available with a 1265 Kubota V3600 49.2kW water-cooled diesel engine or 37.3kW electric motor. Blastcrete positions the power unit away from the mixer and receiving hopper to prevent thermal transfer of heat to materials, which can accelerate setting. The location of the engine also prevents airborne fibres from entering and clogging the air intake.

The RMX-5000 is designed for quick and simple clean-up with a hydraulic receiving hopper lift that provides easy access to the swing tube, which is designed for fast cleaning and maintenance while an optional hydraulic pressure washer can further ease clean-up. The RMX-5000 is customisable for a range of applications and is available in trailer- or skid-mounted versions. The machine is CE Certified, and meets 1116 European Union safety standards for equipment operation. Blastcrete also offers free training seminars for customers at its facility in the US.
