Benefits

• Easy access to hose reels.
• Can be shipped on a standard 40" x 46" pallet.
• Easily fits on a barge, van, or trailer.

A Geotech Pump System Like No Other

Save Time, Hassle, and Money

Exclusively available to customers buying Alchemy-Spetec lifting foam, the MixMaster Pro slab lifting gun provides you with significant advantages over your competition.

Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight! Sprayfoam insulation guns are made for the simple process of spraying foam at constant pressures. Slab lifting requires a gun that is designed to deal with changing pressures and backpressure without backing up or crossing over. Issues like leaky port connections, constant cleaning, and constant fumbling around with a clamp can drastically reduce production - adding a lot of man-hours to each project. Not to mention long nights spent rebuilding and cleaning the gun after EVERY job. Did we mention that feeling in the pit of your stomach every time you have to call in yet another expensive replacement parts order?

Alchemy-Spetec products are proudly made in the U.S.A.  Manufacturing at the Tucker, GA, and Reno, NV facilities (rather than outsourcing abroad) provides three distinct advantages to you and to the country we all call home: consistent quality, reliable supply, and more American jobs.

Consistent Quality

With our industry experts overseeing the production process, products are manufactured to the exact same specs with the exact same equipment every time. Outsourcing to a rotating line-up of the lowest overseas bidders would force us to sacrifice these advantages.

Reliable Supply

Being in complete control of the facilities in which our products are made ensures a reliable supply of products (within the boundaries of raw material availability of course). Outsourcing would leave us (and you) at the mercy of overseas facilities conditions, which we have no control over. 

More American Jobs

One of Alchemy-Spetec's core company values is an appreciation for, and a desire to benefit, the United States of America. If manufacturing superior products in a controlled, reliable manner also happens to create more jobs for American citizens - all the better! That is what we call a win-win situation!

You can make a lot of money in the slab lifting business. There are many markets to take advantage of, including residential, commercial-industrial, and transportation.
