Blastcrete Equipment Co. has upgraded its 2,200-pound-capacity Pan Mixer for greater efficiency, easier maintenance and faster mixing speeds. The company designed the 2200 Pan Mixer specifically for refractory installations and manufacturing precast refractory shapes. It can mix up to 1 metric ton of refractory castable in two minutes or less. The mixer can be used for dry blending materials before water is added. The unit’s maximum mixing speed went from 30 to 45 rpm, which reduces mixing times from five minutes to two minutes or less.

Bon’s Pro Plus line has been expanded to include a Poly Mortar Tub. The design of the 8.5-cubic-foot tub incorporates three molded-in legs on the bottom side for use with a forklift. The molded legs are on the exterior of the body only. There are no internal pockets where mortar can lodge. The pro-grade tub is manufactured from a medium density polyethylene, which is UV stabilized for added durability and longer life. The interior of this Bon mortar tub features a twin-formed, non-stick surface. Rolled edges on the top of the tub add extra strength to the product.
