Blastcrete Equipment Co.'s Mason Mate
Mason Mate is a machine created by Blastcrete Equipment Co., designed primarily for high-rise block fill applications as well as concrete repair and underground shotcrete for mining and tunneling applications. The unit features Blastcrete’s D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump, a high-shear continuous mixer and an optional 1,000-pound capacity bag lifter.

Designed to increase material delivery time, Mason Mate provides a time- and labor-saving solution on the jobsite. Rather than mixing material and water offsite, then transporting the blended material with expensive telehandlers to be installed, the Mason Mate is able to perform the entire process, from start to finish, right on the jobsite, requiring only one operator.
