SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT POPUMPING U
S-based manufacturer of concrete pumps for the mining industry, Blastcrete Equipment LLC, introduces
its X-40D trailer-mounted concrete pump system. This compact but efficient pump provides high-volume pumping in a compact design for a variety of applications and rounds out the company’s product line with a low- maintenance, versatile pump capable of handling a range of rock sizes.
MAXIMUM VERSATILITY The X-40D makes pumping concrete with a variable blend of rock simple compared to other market options. Capable of handling aggregate mixes up to 1.5 inches, the X-40D provides a highly versatile pump solution that contractors can use for a vast array of projects ranging from residential concrete jobs to

A new concrete pump system is capable of handling a range of rock sizes
highway infrastructure improvements, according to the company. “This unit is the culmination of an
industry-oriented engineering process and supply partnership focused on increasing versatility and decreasing maintenance. Additionally, because we spent time talking with contractors in the field, we saw the importance of features like remote-control operation,” says Scott Knighton, Co-CEO of Blastcrete. “Although touchscreens have become common with this equipment, our design eliminates them because customer feedback indicated they are difficult to operate when wearing gloves wet with concrete.” The X-40D incorporates a Pulsar
piston pump from Mecbo to deliver high volume in a compact design. The Pulsar pump incorporates a long stroke to push a greater volume of concrete with less mechanical
movement, thereby reducing maintenance and providing for a smooth pour. The Mecbo Pulsar pump system has also been shown to reduce energy consumption by 30 to 40%. Less energy does not translate
to less power. The 150mm x 1,000mm swing tube piston pump is complimented by a rugged receiving agitator to keep the concrete mixed and prime for pumping. The X-40D pump boasts 1,000psi of piston face pressure, with a 5-inch discharge and the ability to put out 40yd3
of concrete
per hour. The team at Blastcrete engineered it for minimal maintenance to limit downtime.
SMOOTH MOBILITY 80lb pump and integrated trailer is easy to haul to jobs ranging from creating piers for overpasses to backyard projects such as installing in-ground swimming pools. The pump’s four crane lifting eyes
also provide significant transportation advantages, allowing operators to position the machine precisely where they need it. Forklift tubing is mounted to the lower hopper for convenient flat pack removal.
CEMENTING SUCCESS IN THE FIELD The company says that the X-40D strikes the balance between modern technology and user-friendliness. Blastcrete considered customers and the environments in which they work with the design of this machine. It features a wireless remote control to provide operators the unparalleled convenience of controlling the pump’s functions with precision from a distance. The durable, solid-state electronic components function in a wide variety of weather conditions. Factory options that can be added
include its Auto Lubrication System and its 12 VDC Screen Vibrator. Power options include a 72hp Yanmar 4TNV98CT-NKW diesel, a 74hp Deutz TD2.9 diesel or a 75hp electric motor. Both diesel engines are water cooled with no diesel exhaust fluid. ●
