The Blastcrete MineMate pump is a purpose-built solution for underground mining and tunneling projects that require reliable concrete mixing and pumping in confined spaces. Combining high-pressure pumping technology with continuous mixing capabilities, the MineMate is designed to improve productivity while reducing manual labor for demanding underground applications.
Whether you're constructing mine seals, performing cement grouting, or applying underground shotcrete, the MineMate provides consistent material delivery where ready-mix concrete is not a practical option.
Engineered for Underground Performance
The MineMate integrates Blastcrete's X-10 ultra high-pressure swing tube piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer, creating a compact machine capable of both mixing and pumping concrete materials. This integrated design eliminates the need for multiple pieces of equipment, allowing crews to complete projects more efficiently.
Its low-profile frame is specifically designed to operate in underground mines with ceiling clearances as low as six feet, making it ideal for confined work environments.
Powerful Pumping Capabilities
The Blastcrete MineMate pump delivers dependable performance for demanding underground operations. Its advanced pumping system offers:
2,200 PSI maximum pumping pressure
0–12 cubic yards per hour output capacity
Material pumping distances exceeding 500 feet
Durable 3-inch x 24-inch Ultra High Pressure Swing Tube Piston Pump
Heavy-duty 3-inch discharge system
These capabilities ensure continuous material flow for a wide variety of mining and construction applications.
High Shear Continuous Mixing System
One of the MineMate's standout features is its high shear continuous mixer, which produces a consistent and uniform concrete mixture before pumping.
A built-in screw conveyor with material bin indicator automatically feeds material into the mixer, helping maintain steady production while reducing operator workload. This automated process improves efficiency and minimizes interruptions during operation.
Ideal Applications
The Blastcrete MineMate pump is designed for projects that require dependable concrete placement in underground environments, including:
Underground mine seals
Cement grouting
Underground shotcrete
Tunnel support and stabilization
Void filling
Remote mining operations
Concrete repair and rehabilitation
Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for contractors and mining companies seeking reliable performance in difficult working conditions.
Flexible Power Options
The MineMate is available with multiple power configurations to suit different job site requirements:
50 HP Electric Motor with starter and disconnect
66 HP Kubota V3600 Water-Cooled Diesel Engine
These options provide flexibility for both electrically powered and remote diesel-operated projects.
Optional Equipment
Additional options allow contractors to customize the MineMate for specific applications:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These accessories enhance operational efficiency while simplifying equipment control and maintenance.
