Underground mining and tunneling projects require specialized equipment that delivers reliable performance in confined spaces. The MineMate is a purpose-built low profile concrete pump designed to efficiently mix and pump concrete materials for underground operations. Combining a high-pressure piston pump with a high shear continuous mixer, the MineMate serves as dependable underground shotcrete equipment for mine sealing, grouting, and shotcrete applications where ready-mix concrete is not available.
Its integrated design helps reduce labor requirements while improving material consistency and overall project efficiency.
Low Profile Concrete Pump for Restricted Underground Workspaces
The MineMate is engineered with a compact, low-profile frame that allows it to operate in underground environments with ceiling clearances as low as 6 feet. This design enables contractors to transport and position the equipment more easily in tunnels and mining passages where larger machines cannot operate efficiently.
Despite its compact footprint, the MineMate delivers high-capacity pumping performance for demanding underground projects.
Powerful Pumping Performance
At the core of the MineMate is a 3" × 24" Ultra High Pressure Swing Tube Piston Pump, designed to provide dependable concrete and grout delivery over long distances.
Performance specifications include:
Maximum pumping pressure of 2,200 PSI
Production capacity of 0–12 cubic yards per hour
Heavy-duty 3-inch discharge
Pumping distances exceeding 500 feet
These capabilities make the MineMate an effective solution for underground construction projects that require reliable material placement.
Integrated Continuous Mixing Technology
The MineMate combines its pumping system with a high shear continuous mixer, allowing concrete and grout materials to be mixed immediately before pumping. This integrated process produces a consistent mixture while reducing downtime associated with separate mixing equipment.
A built-in screw conveyor with a material bin indicator automatically feeds materials into the mixer, maintaining continuous operation and improving overall efficiency.
Reliable Underground Shotcrete Equipment
The MineMate is specifically designed to support underground shotcrete and concrete applications in mining and tunneling environments. It is suitable for projects such as:
Underground shotcrete placement
Mine sealing
Cement grouting
Tunnel stabilization
Void filling
Structural reinforcement
Remote mining operations without ready-mix concrete
Its combination of continuous mixing and high-pressure pumping helps crews maintain steady production throughout the project.
Flexible Power Options
The MineMate is available with two dependable power configurations to accommodate 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 underground facilities with electrical infrastructure and remote mining locations.
Optional Equipment
Several optional features are available to further enhance productivity and machine operation:
Hydraulic receiving hopper agitator
Pendant remote control
Wireless remote control
Hydraulic pressure washer
These accessories improve operator convenience while simplifying equipment maintenance.
